Install Air Filter (On Some Models) - Whirlpool WRX988SIBM Installation Instructions And Owner's Manual

An air filter is 15 times more powerful than baking soda at
reducing common food odors inside the refrigerator.
On some models, your refrigerator's accessory packet includes
an air filter, which must be installed prior to use.

Install the air filter behind the vented door, located on the rear 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.

Installing the 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.

2. Apply pressure to the bubble on the back of the indicator until
the bubble pops to activate the indicator.

notches behind the door.
