Installing the Frigidaire PureAir® RAF-2™ air filter is a simple process that requires no special tools. Follow these steps to replace your old filter and ensure optimal air quality in your refrigerator:

1. Locate the Filter Housing: Identify the air filter housing inside your refrigerator. The exact location may vary by model, but it is typically found near the top or back wall of the fresh food compartment.
2. Remove the Cover: Gently open or remove the filter housing cover. This may involve pressing a latch, sliding a cover, or twisting a cap, depending on your refrigerator model.
3. Discard Old Filter: Carefully remove the old air filter from the housing. Dispose of the used filter responsibly.
4. Insert New Filter: Take a new Frigidaire PureAir® RAF-2™ filter. Ensure the carbon-facing side of the filter is oriented correctly as indicated by your refrigerator's filter housing or manual. Snap the new filter securely into place.
5. Replace Cover: Close or replace the filter housing cover, ensuring it is properly sealed.

3. Operation and Replacement Schedule

Once installed, the Frigidaire PureAir® RAF-2™ filter continuously works to absorb odors within your refrigerator using its activated carbon technology. This helps to maintain a fresh environment, preventing food odors from mixing or lingering.

For optimal performance and to ensure continuous odor absorption, it is recommended to replace the Frigidaire PureAir® RAF-2™ air filter every 6 months, or as needed, depending on usage and the presence of odors. Regular replacement ensures the carbon technology remains effective at neutralizing smells.

4. Maintenance

The Frigidaire PureAir® RAF-2™ air filter requires minimal maintenance beyond its scheduled replacement. There is no need to clean the filter; once it reaches the end of its effective life (approximately 6 months), it should be replaced with a new one.

To ensure the longevity of your refrigerator and the effectiveness of the filter, always use genuine Frigidaire replacement filters.

5. Troubleshooting

While the Frigidaire PureAir® RAF-2™ air filter is designed for straightforward use, here are some common considerations:

• Filter Not Fitting: Ensure you have the correct model filter for your refrigerator. The RAF-2™ is compatible with specific Frigidaire refrigerator models. Refer to your refrigerator's manual for compatible filter types.
• Odors Persist After Installation:
  • Verify that the filter was installed correctly, with the carbon-facing side oriented as per your refrigerator's instructions.
  • Check if the filter housing cover is securely closed.
  • Allow some time for the filter to begin absorbing odors, especially if strong odors were present before installation.
  • Ensure the odor source has been removed from the refrigerator. The filter absorbs lingering odors but cannot eliminate the source itself.
• Filter Reminder Light Still On: After replacing the filter, you must manually reset the filter reminder light on your refrigerator. Consult your refrigerator's user manual for specific instructions on how to reset the indicator for your model.
