Changing the Water Filter 1. Locate the water filter in the top-right corner of the refrigerator compartment. 2. Lift open the filter cover door. The filter will be released and then eject as the door is opened. 3. When the door is completely open, pull the filter straight out. NOTE: There may be some water in the filter. Some spilling may occur. Use a towel to wipe up any spills. 4. Take the new filter out of its packaging and remove the covers from the O-rings. Be sure the O-rings are still in place after the covers are removed. 5. With the arrow pointing up, align the new filter with the filter housing and slide it into place. The filter cover door will automatically begin to close as the new filter is inserted. 6. Close the filter cover door completely in order to snap the filter into place. You may need to press hard. 7. Flush the water system. See "Water Dispenser" or "Water and Ice Dispensers." Install Air Filter (on some models) The air filter reduces the buildup of odors. This helps to maintain a cleaner environment inside the refrigerator. On some models, your refrigerator's accessory packet includes an air filter, which must be installed prior to use. On some models, the air filter is already installed at the factory. Installing the Air Filter Install the air filter behind the vented door, located along the rear interior wall of the refrigerator compartment. 1. Remove the air filter from its packaging. NOTE: An air filter status indicator is included with the air filter. The indicator is not needed for models that display the air filter status on the control panel. 2. Lift open the vented door. 3. Snap the filter into place. Air Filter Status Indicator The control panel displays the Air Filter status. ■ GOOD - The air filter icon on the control panel lights up in BLUE. ■ ORDER a replacement - The air filter icon on the control panel lights up in YELLOW. ■ REPLACE air filter - The air filter icon on the control panel lights up in RED and "Replace Filter" will appear. ■ EXPIRED - The air filter icon lights up in RED and "Replace Filter" flashes on the control panel. After replacing the air filter, press and hold the Air Filter button for 3 seconds. The filter icons will turn off. See "Using the Control(s)." When the system is reset, the air filter icon will return to BLUE and the words "Replace Filter" will disappear from the control panel. NOTE: At any filter status, pressing and holding the Air Filter button for 3 seconds will reset the air filter status to Good and the air filter icon will turn off. Replacing the Air Filter The disposable air filter should be replaced every 6 months or when the status indicator air filter icon turns on and starts flashing when the refrigerator door is opened. To order a replacement air filter, contact us. See "Accessories." 1. Remove the used air filter by squeezing in on the side tabs. 2. Install the new air filter and reset the status indicator using the instructions in the previous section. Install Produce Preserver (on some models) 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.
