1. Introduction
This manual provides instructions for the proper installation, operation, and maintenance of your Fisher & Paykel 836574 Humidity Control Lid. This component is designed as a replacement part for compatible Fisher & Paykel refrigerator crisper bins, helping to maintain optimal humidity levels for fresh produce storage.
2. Setup and Installation
The Fisher & Paykel 836574 Humidity Control Lid is designed for easy replacement. Before installation, ensure that the lid is compatible with your specific refrigerator model and crisper bin. Refer to your refrigerator's original user manual for compatibility details if needed.
Installation Steps:
- Remove Old Lid: Carefully lift and remove the existing lid from the crisper bin.
- Clean Bin (Optional): If desired, clean the crisper bin before installing the new lid.
- Position New Lid: Align the new Fisher & Paykel 836574 Humidity Control Lid over the crisper bin. Ensure that any tabs or grooves on the lid align correctly with the bin's edges.

3. Operating Instructions
The humidity control lid features an adjustable vent designed to regulate the moisture level within the crisper bin, extending the freshness of various produce types.
Adjusting Humidity:
- High Humidity Setting: For leafy greens (e.g., lettuce, spinach, herbs), slide the control to the 'High Humidity' or 'Closed' position. This minimizes air circulation, trapping moisture inside the bin to prevent wilting.
- Low Humidity Setting: For fruits and vegetables that release ethylene gas or prefer drier conditions (e.g., apples, pears, citrus, peppers), slide the control to the 'Low Humidity' or 'Open' position. This allows more air circulation, reducing moisture and preventing spoilage.
Experiment with settings to find the ideal environment for your specific produce. Avoid overcrowding the crisper bin to allow for proper air circulation and humidity control.
4. Maintenance and Care
Regular cleaning of your humidity control lid will ensure optimal performance and hygiene.
Cleaning Instructions:
- Remove Lid: Carefully lift the lid from the crisper bin.
- Hand Wash: Wash the lid by hand using warm water and a mild dish soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can scratch the surface.
- Rinse Thoroughly: Rinse the lid completely under running water to remove all soap residue.
- Dry: Dry the lid thoroughly with a soft cloth or allow it to air dry completely before returning it to the refrigerator.
Note: Do not wash the lid in a dishwasher unless specifically indicated in your refrigerator's original manual, as high temperatures can cause warping or damage.
5. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your humidity control lid, consider the following common solutions:
- Lid Does Not Fit Properly:
- Ensure the lid is correctly aligned with the crisper bin.
- Verify that the lid model number (836574) matches the required part for your refrigerator model.
- Humidity Control Not Effective:
- Check that the humidity control slider is set to the appropriate position for the produce stored.
- Ensure the crisper bin is not overfilled, which can impede air circulation.
- Clean the lid and its vents to ensure no debris is obstructing the airflow.
