REFRIGERATOR USE
Install Air Filter
(on somemodels)
On some models, your refrigerator's accessory packet includes an air filter, which must be installed prior to use. On some models, the air filter is already installed at the factory.
The air filter reduces the buildup of odors. This helps to maintain a cleaner environment inside the refrigerator.
Installing the Air Filter (on some models)
The filter should be installed behind the vented door, which is located (depending on your model) along either the rear or left interior wall near the top of the refrigerator compartment.
1.Remove the air filter from its packaging.
2.Lift open the vented door.
3.Snap the filter into place.
Installing the Filter Status Indicator (on some models)
The filter comes with a status indicator, which should be activated and installed at the same time the air filter is installed.
REPLACE
MONTHS
1.Place the indicator
2.Apply pressure to the bubble on the back of the indicator, until the bubble pops to activate the indicator.
3.Lift open the vented air filter door. On some models, there are notches behind the door.
4.On models with notches:
■Slide the indicator down into the notches, facing outward.
NOTE: The indicator will not easily slide into the notches if the rear bubble has not been popped.
■Close the air filter door, and check that the indicator is visible through the rectangular hole in the door.
On models without notches:
■Store the indicator in a visible place you will easily remember - either inside the refrigerator, or elsewhere in your kitchen or home.
Replacing the Air Filter
The disposable air filter should be replaced every 6 months, when the status indicator has completely changed from white to red.
To order a replacement air filter, see “Accessories.”
1.Remove the old air filter by squeezing in on the side tabs.
2.Remove the old status indicator.
3.Install the new air filter and status indicator using the instructions in the previous sections.
Install Produce Preserver
(on somemodels)
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.
