vegetable setting depending on your storage needs.
 If there is too much water in the bins (due to high humidity), the control can be
adjusted towards the fruit setting to reduce drips of water and/or wipe the water
dry (if required).
 Be aware that a small amount of water in the bins is beneficial for fruit and vegetable
storage.
 We recommend using the vegetable setting when you store ethylene-sensitive
vegetables such as lettuce, spinach, broccoli, cabbage, carrots.
 We recommend using the fruit setting when you store high-ethylene fruits such as
citrus fruits, stone fruits and some tropical fruits.
 We recommend adjusting the humidity slide to the centre when you store both fruits
and vegetables.
 We recommend storing all fruits and vegetables without external packaging and in
separate bins.
–Separating the fruits and vegetables prevent ethylene-sensitive produce from
