Turkish term

Kuru ve rutubetsiz ortamda muhafaza ediniz

Non-PRO Turkish to English Other Other Storage instructions
I have a declaration both in English and in Turkish. And this sentence has no counterpart in the English. Could you help me with the translation?

Thanks in advance!

P.S. Couldn't write it with the correct "dotted" i-s... :)

Keep in a dry place

When translated, moisture is not really mentioned in reality, because "dry" implies a place without moisture anyways. Therefore, it is more peculiar to Turkish and redundantly used.
Example sentence:

...instructions and ampule ... Keep in a dry place, protected from light,...

Keep in a dry place.

You can also use "store in a dry and damp-free environment"
Peer comment(s):

agree Tim Drayton : I am agreeing with the version including 'damp-free' rather than 'well ventilated'. The Turkish is 'rutubet = dampness, humidity, moisture' plus the suffix '-siz = without, not having". 'Well ventilated' is a different concept.

Thank you, Tim. My understanding is that if a place is 'well ventilated', then there will be no damp.:-)

Please keep in a dry and damp-free environment!

I'd define in this way.
