fruits and vegetables with skins.

to use. Sort and keep berries in original container in
crisper, or store in a loosely closed paper bag on a
refrigerator shelf.
Vegetables with skins: Place in plastic bags or plastic
container and store in crisper.
HIGH (closed) keeps moist air in the crisper for best storage of
fresh, leafy vegetables.

tear off bruised and discolored areas. Place in plastic bag
or plastic container and store in crisper.
