INSTALL PRODUCE PRESERVER
ON SOME MODELS
The produce preserver absorbs ethylene to slow
the ripening process of many produce items.
As a result, certain produce items will stay fresh
longer.
Ethylene production and sensitivity varies
depending on the type of fruit or vegetable.
To preserve freshness, it is best to separate
produce with sensitivity to ethylene from fruits
that produce moderate to high amounts of
ethylene.
