Install Produce Preserver

(on some models)

On some models, your refrigerator's accessory packet includes a Produce Preserver, which should be installed prior to use. On some models, the Produce Preserver is already installed at the factory.

The Produce Preserver absorbs ethylene, allowing the ripening process of many produce items to slow down. 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.

	Sensitivity to	Ethylene
	Ethylene	Production
Apples	High	Very High
Asparagus	Med.	Very Low
Berries	Low	Low
Broccoli	High	Very Low
Cantaloupe	Med.	High
Carrots	Low	Very Low
Citrus Fruit	Med.	Very Low
Grapes	Low	Very Low
Lettuce	High	Very Low
Pears	High	Very High
Spinach	High	Very Low

The Produce Preserver pouches should be installed in their housing, which is located along an interior side wall of the crisper or convertible drawer.
