The crisper drawers in many Samsung refrigerators feature a Humidity Control setting, designed to preserve the freshness of fruits and vegetables and prevent them from spoiling prematurely. Whether you’re storing leafy greens or crisp fruits, the adjustable settings allow for optimal storage conditions based on the specific needs of different produce types.

Note: The provided information refers to refrigerators sold in Canada.

High humidity

  • For leafy-green vegetables and other items prone to wilting or moisture loss, a high humidity setting is recommended. This setting is ideal for produce typically stored under water spritzers at supermarkets.

  • Examples include broccoli, Brussels sprouts, lettuce, cucumbers, peppers, carrots, strawberries, and herbs.

Low humidity

  • Fruits and vegetables that are less sensitive to moisture loss should be stored at a low humidity setting. This helps in preventing them from becoming too moist and spoiling.

  • Examples include apples, pears, mangoes, papayas, cantaloupes, and avocados.

Adjusting the humidity level is as simple as moving a mechanical slider left or right to select your desired setting. This adjustment can be made quickly and the current setting is easily visible, ensuring that your produce is stored under optimal conditions.

  • Balancing act: If you find yourself frequently adjusting the humidity settings based on the types of produce you purchase, consider using one drawer for high humidity and another for low humidity to streamline the process.

  • Maintenance: Regularly cleaning the crisper drawers and checking for any blocked vents can help maintain the effectiveness of your humidity controls.

  • Monitoring: Keep an eye on your produce. If you notice items spoiling prematurely or not maintaining freshness as expected, tweaking the humidity settings might help.

By managing the humidity settings in your Samsung refrigerator's crisper drawers, you can extend the shelf life of your fruits and vegetables, reducing waste and maintaining nutritional quality.
