Product Description
Keep your refrigerator smelling fresher with the Frigidaire FRPFUAF1 PureFresh Universal Refrigerator Air Filter. Designed as a universal refrigerator air filter, the FRPFUAF1 uses carbon technology to absorb unwanted odors and help maintain a fresher-smelling refrigerator environment.
Unlike a refrigerator water filter, the FRPFUAF1 filters the air inside your refrigerator rather than drinking water or ice. Its compact design can be installed inside refrigerators and freezers without tools, using the included adhesive backing.
Frigidaire states that PureFresh is 20× more effective than baking soda at absorbing refrigerator odors and recommends replacing the filter approximately every 6 months.

Odor Filtration
The FRPFUAF1 is designed primarily for odor control inside refrigerators.
Its carbon-based filtration media works as air circulates around the refrigerator, helping absorb unwanted smells generated by stored foods.
Frigidaire states that the PureFresh universal air filter is 20× more effective than baking soda at absorbing refrigerator odors. This is a manufacturer marketing claim and should be retained only when selling the genuine Frigidaire product.

For best performance, replace the FRPFUAF1 approximately every 6 months.
The six-month interval is specified by Frigidaire and is also stated on the Amazon and Filters Fast listings.
You may wish to replace the filter sooner if refrigerator odors become noticeable before the six-month interval.
