Install CleanFlow™ Air Filter
(on some models)
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.
The air filter reduces the buildup of odors. This helps to maintain a cleaner
environment inside the refrigerator.
Installing the Air Filter (on some models)
The filter should be installed behind the vented door, which is located
(depending on your model) along either the rear or left interior wall near
the top of the refrigerator compartment.
1. Remove the air filter from its packaging.
2. Lift open the vented door.
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 face-down 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. There are notches behind the door.
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.
4. Close the air filter door, and check that the indicator is visible through
the rectangular hole in the door.
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 "Accessories."
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.

REFRIGERATOR USE

Ensuring Proper Air Circulation

Single Evaporator (on some models)
In order to ensure proper temperatures, you need to permit air to flow
between the two sections. Cold air enters the bottom of the freezer section
and moves up. It then enters the refrigerator section through the top vent.
(On Style 2 models, this air is also evenly distributed throughout the
refrigerator compartment through six vents on the back wall.) Air then
returns to the freezer as shown.
Style 1
Do not block any of these vents with food such as soda, cereal, bread, etc.
If the vents are blocked, airflow will be obstructed and temperature and
moisture problems may occur.
IMPORTANT: Because air circulates between both sections, any odors
formed in one section will transfer to the other. You must thoroughly clean
both sections to eliminate odors. To avoid odor transfer and drying out of
food, wrap or cover foods tightly.
