Fruit and Vegetable Bins and Humidity Control Cover
The fruit and vegetable bins feature a unique cover which provides two functions:
The humidity cover seals the bins and provides a humid microclimate to extend storage times of
fruit and vegetables.
The humidity cover prevents condensation, which forms at high humidities, from dripping down
onto the fruit and vegetables. The ability to retain high humidity in the fruit and vegetable bins,
may mean small amounts of water will pool in the bottom of the fruit and vegetable bins. This
can be wiped out as required.
Fruit and vegetable bins and humidity slide
Each fruit and vegetable bin has a humidity adaptor control that can be adjusted to a fruit or
vegetable setting depending on what is stored in the bins.
If possible try to store fruit and vegetables separately. This will help extend their storage life.
If there is a mixture of fruit and vegetables in the bin adjust the position of the control to the
centre.
If there is too much water in the bins the control can be adjusted towards the setting showing
fewer drips (fruit setting).
Remember a small amount of water in the bins is beneficial for fruit and vegetable storage.
