CRISPERS WITH ADJUSTABLE DIVIDERS AiR FILTER 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. 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.

This keeps incoming air to a minimum and maintains maximum moisture content. • Push the plastic bubble tab at the back of the control box housing.
