To reset the filter indicator in the Electrolux EL490A air purifier after changing the filter, follow these steps:

1. Ensure that the air purifier is turned on and plugged in.

2. Locate the control panel on the air purifier.

3. Look for the "Filter Reset" button or indicator on the control panel.

4. Press and hold the "Filter Reset" button for approximately 5-10 seconds.

5. The indicator light should blink or change color briefly to indicate that the filter has been reset.

6. Release the "Filter Reset" button.

7. Wait a few moments for the indicator light to stop blinking or changing color.

8. The filter indicator should now be reset, indicating that the new filter has been recognized by the air purifier.

If you're unsure about the specific control panel or button layout of your Electrolux EL490A model, you can consult the user manual that came with the air purifier. It should have detailed instructions on how to reset the filter indicator after replacing the filter.
