FILTERS AND ACCESSORIES

Installing the Filter Status Indicator

The filter comes with a status indicator, which should be
activated and installed at the same time the air filter is installed.
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.
Models with notches:
With the indicator screen facing outward, slide the
indicator down into the notches.
NOTE: The indicator will not easily slide into the notches
if the bubble has not been popped.

Install Produce Preserver

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.
