6.9 Crisper
The refrigerator's crisper is designed
to keep vegetables fresh by preserving
humidity. For this purpose, the overall
cold air circulation is intensified in the
crisper. Keep fruits and vegetables in
this compartment. Keep the green-
leaved vegetables and fruits separately
to prolong their life.
6.10Crisper Separator
Ethylene Filter
The ethylene retaining filter helps
to remove the ethylene gas and bad
odours released from the vegetables
and fruits in the crisper.
You may store the fruits such as
pear, apricot, peach and particularly
apples, which generate high amount
of ethylene gas, separately with
other vegetables and fruits in the
same crisper thanks to the vegetable
separator.
The ethylene gas released from
these fruits may cause your other
vegetables and fruits to ripen faster
and rot in a shorter time.
