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.
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.
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 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.
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.
