On some models, the air filter is already installed at the factory. REPLACE MONTHS 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. On some models, there are notches behind the door. 4. 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. The air filter reduces the buildup of odors. This helps to maintain a cleaner environment inside the refrigerator. 11
