Install Air Filter 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. To order a replacement air filter, use part number W10311524. 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.

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 DOORS Door and Handle Instructions Depending on the width of your doorway, you may need to remove the doors to move the refrigerator into your home. Also, the door hinges are factory installed on the right-hand side. If you want the door to open from the other direction, you must reverse the door swing. WARNING The air filter reduces the buildup of odors. This helps to maintain a cleaner environment inside the refrigerator. Installing the Air Filter 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 The filter comes with a status indicator, which should be activated and installed at the same time the air filter is installed.
