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.

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 face-down on a firm, flat surface.

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.
