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.
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.

Asparagus
Berries
Broccoli
Cantaloupe

assembly, which is located along an interior side wall of the
crisper and/or convertible drawer.
NOTE: There are two housing assemblies. Use one for the
CrisperKeeper

Produce Preserver pouches, and use the other
for one of the CleanFIow
TM
Air Filters. Do not install Produce
Preserver pouches and Air Filters in the same housing assembly.
