Door Aligning
If the space between your doors looks uneven, you can adjust it
using the following instructions:
1. Pry off the top hinge cover.
2. Loosen the top hinge screws using a
⁵⁄₁₆" socket or wrench.
3. Have someone hold the door in place or put a spacer
between the doors while you tighten the top hinge screws.
4. Replace the top hinge cover.
Install 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.
Air Filter Status Indicator (on some models)
Style 1 - Install Manual Air Filter Status Indicator
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. On some models, there are
notches behind the door.
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:
■ Store the indicator in a visible place you will easily
remember - either inside the refrigerator, or elsewhere in
your kitchen or home.
Style 2 - Air Filter Status on Electronic Control Display
The control panel displays the Air Filter status.
■ GOOD - The air filter LED does not light up.
■ REPLACE - The air filter LED lights up constantly when the
refrigerator door is open.
■ EXPIRED - The air filter LED lights up constantly and flashes
when the refrigerator door is open.
After replacing the air filter, press and hold FILTERS RESET for
3 seconds. The filter icons will turn off. See “Using the
Control(s).”
NOTE: At any filter status, pressing and holding FILTERS RESET
for 3 seconds will reset the air filter status to good and the air
filter LED 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 LED turns on and starts
flashing when the refrigerator door is opened.
To order a replacement air filter, contact us using the
assistance/service information following the warranty.
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 reset the status indicator using
the instructions in the previous sections.
Install Produce Preserver
(on some models)
The accessory packet includes two produce preserver pouches,
which should be installed in a crisper drawer prior to use.
NOTE: For best performance, always use two pouches.
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.
