Depending on what types of fruits and veggies you're storing, you can use the different settings to keep food fresher for longer.

What to store in the humidity drawers
High humidity
Generally, you'll want to use a high setting for leafy-green vegetables, anything that might wilt, or foods that are sensitive to moisture loss. As a rule, you should use this setting for items that are kept under water spritzers at the supermarket.
Some examples include: broccoli, Brussels sprouts, lettuce, cucumbers, peppers, carrots, strawberries, and herbs.

Some examples include: apples, pears, mangoes, papayas, cantaloupes, and avocados.
