NOTE: The indicator will not easily slide into the notches if the bubble has not been popped. ■ Close the air filter door, and check that the indicator is visible through the window in the door.

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.
