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.
Installing the Produce Preserver (on some models)
The Produce Preserver pouches should be installed in their housing,
which is located along an interior side wall of the crisper or convertible
drawer.
NOTE: For best performance, always use two pouches.
1. Remove the Produce Preserver pouches from their packaging.
2. Lift up on the housing in order to remove it from its mounting tab
along the wall.
3. Open the housing by pulling up and out on the back of the top of
the housing.
4. Place both pouches inside the housing, then snap the housing
back together.
5. Place the housing back on the mounting tab along the wall.
Installing the Status Indicator (on some models)
The Produce Preserver comes with a status indicator, which should be
activated and installed at the same time the pouch is installed.
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. Slide open the cap on the Produce Preserver housing.
4. Place the indicator in the top of the housing, facing outward.
5. Slide the cap closed, and check that the indicator is visible
through the rectangular hole in the cap.
NOTE: The cap will not easily close if the indicator’s rear bubble
has not been popped.
Replacing the Produce Preserver (on some models)
The disposable pouches should be replaced every 6 months, when the
status indicator has completely changed from white to red.
To order replacements, see “Accessories” in the User Instructions or
User Guide.
1. Remove the old pouches from the Produce Preserver housing.
2. Remove the old status indicator.
3. Install the new pouches and status indicator using the instructions
in the previous sections.
