CRISPERS WITH ADJUSTABLE DIVIDERS
The crispers, located under the bottom refrigerator shelf, are
designed for storing fruits, vegetables, and other fresh produce.
Wash items in clear water and remove excess water before
placing them in the crispers. Items with strong odors or high
moisture content should be wrapped before storing. Dividers
may be adjusted for different size items within the crisper.
HUMIDITY CONTROL
The humidity control allows you to adjust the humidity within the
crisper. This can extend the life of fresh vegetables that keep best
in high humidity.
NOTE: Leafy vegetables keep best when stored with the humidity
control set on HIGH HUMIDITY, or in a drawer without a humidity
control. This keeps incoming air to a minimum and maintains
maximum moisture content.

MID LEVEL LIGHTING
The mid level lighting is located at the back of the crispers. The
lights come on automatically when the door is opened. To replace
the light bulb, turn the temperature control to OFF and unplug the
electrical cord. Remove the lens from the lamp housing by
unsnapping it from the lamp housing using your fingers or a
screwdriver. Be careful not to break the locking tabs on the lamp
housing. Replace the old bulb with a bulb of the same type and
wattage. To replace the lens, snap one side of the lens opening
to the tab on the lamp housing. Then carefully attach the other
side.

AIR FILTER
The air filter is located on the back of the control box. In general,
you should change the air filter every six months to ensure optimal
filtering of refrigerator odors. You may want to adjust this time
period depending on the types and amounts of food you typically
store in your refrigerator.
TO REPLACE THE AIR FILTER:
• Push the plastic bubble tab at the back of the control box
housing. This releases
the hinged bottom half
to drop open.
• Remove the old filter
and discard it.
• Unpackage the new
filter and place it inside
the hinged bottom half
of the housing.
• Push the hinged bottom
half upward until the tab
snaps into closed
position.

PureSource2 WATER FILTER
IMPORTANT NOTE
The water filter system in this product is designed to work only
when connected to the ice maker in the matching Kenmore
PRO freezer. Do not attempt to connect this filter to a water
source without first connecting it to the mating ice maker as
described in the "CONNECTING ICE MAKER TO WATER
SUPPLY" (P/N 297114600) included with the Kenmore PRO
Model #44833 freezer; connecting the filter in any other manner
risks severe water damage to both your refrigerator and
surrounding furnishings.
The water filter is located on the upper left front corner of the
refrigerator. Water conditions vary throughout the world, but
changing the water filter every 6 – 9 months normally will ensure
the highest possible water quality.
TO INSTALL WATER FILTER:
• The water filter cartridge comes separate inside the unit.
Before installing the water filter, be sure to remove the filter
from the packaging and two plastic caps that protect the
inlet and outlet ports of the water filter. The water supply
does not need to be turned off.
• Insert the water filter cartridge into the filter housing. When
the cartridge is almost in, you will feel it stop against the
clip assembly in the back of
the housing. The clip
assembly holds the filter
cartridge firmly in place.
• At this point, you will need to
push firmly until the cartridge
snaps fully in place. When
completely in place, the
front of the filter cartridge
will be flush with the front of
the housing."
