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.
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.
