Install Air Filter

(on some models)

The air filter reduces the buildup of odors. This helps to maintain a cleaner environment inside the refrigerator.

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.

Installing the Air Filter

Install the air filter behind the vented door, located along the rear interior wall of the refrigerator compartment.

1.Remove the air filter from its packaging.

NOTE: An air filter status indicator is included with the air filter. The indicator is not needed for models that display the air filter status on the control panel.

2.Lift open the vented door.

3.Snap the filter into place.
