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.
Air Filter Status Indicator
The control panel displays the Air Filter status.
■
GOOD - The air filter icon on the control lights up in BLUE.
■
ORDER a replacement - The air filter icon on the control lights
up in YELLOW.
■
REPLACE air filter - The air filter icon on the control lights up in
RED and “Replace Filter” will appear.
■
EXPIRED - The air filter icon lights up in RED and “Replace
Filter” flashes on the control display.
After replacing the air filter, press and hold the AIR FILTER button
for 3 seconds. The filter icons will turn off. See “Using the
Control(s).” When the system is reset, the air filter icon will return
to its BLUE color and the words “Replace Filter” will disappear
from the display.
NOTE: At any filter status, pressing and holding the AIR FILTER
button for 3 seconds will reset the air filter status to Good and the
air filter icon will turn off.
Replacing the Air Filter
The disposable air filter should be replaced every 6 months, or
when the status indicator air filter icon turns on and starts flashing
when the refrigerator door is opened.
To order a replacement air filter, contact us. See “Accessories.”
1. Remove the used air filter by squeezing in on the side tabs.
2. Install the new air filter and reset the status indicator using the
instructions in the previous section.
Install Produce Preserver
(on some models)
The accessory packet includes two produce preserver pouches,
which should be installed in a crisper drawer prior to use.
NOTE: For best performance, always use two pouches.
The produce preserver absorbs ethylene, to slow the ripening
process of many produce items. 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.
