Moisture controlled crispers Some foods, such as fruit and vegetables, lose moisture when stored in cold, dry places. The crisper drawer maintains the right temperature and moisture level for storing fruit and vegetables. Using the Control Device, it is possible to adjust the airflow inside the crisper drawer. • We recommend you keep the Control Device closed when storing vegetables and open when storing fruit. Anti-odour filter Some foods have strong odours. For this reason the refrigerator is equipped with a deodoriser that acts like a filter and eliminates the worry of storing strong odour savoury foods with more delicate sweet foods. The deodoriser is located in the cool air duct.
