3. Snap the filter into place.
4. Close the vented door.
Installing the Filter Status Indicator (on some
models)
The filter comes with a status indicator, which should be activated
and installed at the same time the air filter is installed.
1. Place the indicator facedown 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.
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:
� Place 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 ordering information in the
Quick Start Guide.
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)
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.
To order a replacement produce preserver, use part number
W10346771.
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.
Sensitivity to
Ethylene

Apples High Very High
Asparagus Medium Very Low
Berries Low Low
Broccoli High Very Low
Cantaloupe Medium High
Carrots Low Very Low
Citrus Fruit Medium Very Low
Grapes Low Very Low
Lettuce High Very Low
