Your safety and the safety of others are very important.

We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and obey all safety messages.

This is the safety alert symbol.

This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others.

All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word “DANGER” or “WARNING.”

These words mean:

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't immediately

DANGER

WARNING

All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can happen if the instructions are not followed.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

follow instructions.

You

can be killed or seriously injured if you don't

instructions.

WARNING:

■ Plug into a grounded (earthed) outlet.

■ Do not remove ground prong.

■ Do not use an adapter.

■ Do not use an extension cord.

■ Disconnect power before servicing.

Replace all parts and panels before operating.

■

■ Remove doors from your old refrigerator.

■ Use nonflammable cleaner.

■ Do not store or use petrol, flammable liquids or gas in the

vicinity of this or other electrical appliances. The fumes can

cause fires or explosions.

■ Do not store explosive substances such as aerosol cans

with a flammable propellant in this refrigerator.

■ Do not use or place electrical devices inside the refrigerator

compartments if they are not of the type expressly

authorized by the manufacture.

■ Use two or more people to move and install refrigerator.

■ Disconnect power before installing ice maker (on ice maker

kit ready models only).

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury when using your refrigerator, follow these basic precautions:

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

■ A qualified service technician must install the water line and

ice maker. See installation instruction supplied with

ice maker kit IC13B for complete details.

Connect to a potable water supply only.

■

■ Use a sturdy glass when dispensing ice (on some models).

■ This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including

children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental

capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless

they have been given supervision or instruction concerning

use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.

■ Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not

play with the appliance.

■ To avoid the risk of children becoming trapped and

suffocating, do not allow them to play or hide inside the

refrigerator.

■ If the power supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by

the manufacturer or its service agent or a similarly qualified

person.

Proper Disposal of

Your Old Refrigerator

WARNING

■ Do not use sharp instruments, rubbing alcohol, ammable uids, or abrasive cleaners to remove tape or glue. These products can damage the surface of your refrigerator. For more information, see “Refrigerator Safety.”

■ Dispose of/recycle all packaging materials.

Suffocation Hazard Remove doors from your old refrigerator. Failure to do so can result in death or brain damage.

IMPORTANT: Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of the past. Junked or abandoned refrigerators are still dangerous – even if they will sit for “just a few days.” If you are getting rid of your old refrigerator, please follow these instructions to help prevent accidents.

Before You Throw Away Your Old Refrigerator or Freezer:

■ Take off the doors.

■ Leave the shelves in place so that children may not easily climb inside.

When Moving Your Refrigerator:

Your refrigerator is heavy. When moving the refrigerator for cleaning or service, be sure to cover the oor with cardboard or hardboard to avoid oor damage. Always pull the refrigerator straight out when moving it. Do not wiggle or “walk” the refrigerator when trying to move it, as oor damage could occur.

Clean Before Using

After you remove all of the packaging materials, clean the inside of your refrigerator before using it. See the cleaning instructions in “Refrigerator Care.”

Important information to know about glass shelves and covers:

Do not clean glass shelves or covers with warm water when they are cold. Shelves and covers may break if exposed to sudden temperature changes or impact, such as bumping. Tempered glass is designed to shatter into many small, pebble-size pieces. This is normal. Glass shelves and covers are heavy. Use both hands when removing them to avoid dropping.

Location Requirements

Important information to know about disposal of refrigerants:

Dispose of refrigerator in accordance with Federal and Local regulations. Refrigerants must be evacuated by a licensed, EPA certied refrigerant technician in accordance with established procedures.

INSTALLATION

INSTRUCTIONS

Unpack the Refrigerator

WARNING

Excessive Weight Hazard

Use two or more people to move and install refrigerator.

Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.

Remove the Packaging

■ Remove tape and glue residue from surfaces before turning on the refrigerator. Rub a small amount of liquid dish soap over the adhesive with your ngers. Wipe with warm water and dry.

WARNING

Explosion Hazard

Keep ammable materials and vapors, such as gasoline, away from refrigerator.

Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or re.

IMPORTANT: This appliances is intended to used in household and similar applications such as:

■ Staff kitchen areas in shops, ofce and other working environments,

■ Farm houses and by clients in hotels, motels and other residential type environments,

■ Bed and breakfast type environments,

■ Catering and similar non-retail applications.

To ensure proper ventilation for your refrigerator, allow for 1/2" (1.25 cm) of space on each side and at the top. Allow for 1" (2.54 cm) of space behind the refrigerator. If your refrigerator has an ice maker, allow extra space at the back for the water line connections. When installing your refrigerator next to a xed wall, leave 2½" (6.3 cm) minimum on the hinge side (some models require more) to allow for the door to swing open.

NOTE: This refrigerator is intended for use in a location where the

temperature ranges from a minimum of 55°F (13°C) to a maximum of 110°F (43°C). The preferred room temperature range for optimum performance, which reduces electricity usage and provides superior cooling, is between 60°F (15°C) and 90°F (32°C). It is recommended that you do not install the refrigerator near a heat source, such as an oven or radiator.

Water Supply Requirements

Gather the required tools and parts before starting installation. Read and follow the instructions provided with any tools listed here.

TOOLS NEEDED:

¹⁄₂" (1.25 cm)

Electrical Requirements

WARNING

Electrical Shock Hazard

Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.

Do not remove ground prong.

Do not use an adapter.

Do not use an extension cord.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, fire, or electrical shock.

Before you move your refrigerator into its nal location, it is important to make sure you have the proper electrical connection.

If the electrical supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent or a similarly qualied person. Do not use a cord that shows cracks or abrasion damage along its length or at either the plug or connector end.

Recommended Grounding Method

A 115 V, 60 Hz, AC only 15 or 20 A fused, grounded electrical supply is required. It is recommended that a separate circuit serving only your refrigerator and approved accessories be provided. Use an outlet that cannot be turned off by a switch. Do not use an extension cord.

NOTE: Before performing any type of installation, cleaning, or removing a light bulb, turn OFF Cooling, and then disconnect the refrigerator from the electrical source. When you have nished, reconnect the refrigerator to the electrical source and turn ON Cooling. See “Using the Controls.”

■ 7/16" and 1/2" Open-end or two adjustable wrenches

IMPORTANT:

■ Connect to potable water supply only.

Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after the system. Systems certified for cyst reduction may be used on disinfected waters that may contain filterable cysts.

■ All installations must meet local plumbing code requirements.

■ Do not use a piercing-type or 3/16" (4.76 mm) saddle valve which reduces water ow and clogs more easily.

■ Use copper tubing and check for leaks. Install copper tubing only in areas where the household temperatures will remain above freezing.

■ For models with water lters, the disposable water lter should be replaced at least every 6 months.

Water Pressure

A cold water supply with water pressure of between 35 and 120 psi (241 and 827 kPa) is required to operate the water dispenser and ice maker. If you have questions about your water pressure, call a licensed, qualied plumber.

Reverse Osmosis Water Supply IMPORTANT: The pressure of the water supply coming out of

a reverse osmosis system going to the water inlet valve of the refrigerator needs to be between 35 and 120 psi (241 and

827 kPa). If a reverse osmosis water ltration system is connected to your

cold water supply, the water pressure to the reverse osmosis system needs to be a minimum of 40 to 60 psi (276 to 414 kPa).

If the water pressure to the reverse osmosis system is less than 40 to 60 psi (276 to 414 kPa):

■ Check to see whether the sediment lter in the reverse osmosis system is blocked. Replace the lter if necessary.

■ Allow the storage tank on the reverse osmosis system to rell after heavy usage.

■ If your refrigerator has a water lter, it may further reduce the water pressure when used in conjunction with a reverse osmosis system. Remove the water lter. See “Water Filtration System.”

If you have questions about your water pressure, call a licensed, qualied plumber.

■ 1/4" Drill bit

■ Cordless drill

Connect the Water Supply

Read all directions before you begin.

IMPORTANT:

■ Plumbing shall be installed in accordance with the International Plumbing Code and any local codes and ordinances.

■ The gray water tubing on the back of the refrigerator (which

F G

D E

is used to connect to the household water line) is a PEX (cross-linked polyethylene) tube. Copper and PEX tubing connections from the household water line to the refrigerator are acceptable and will help avoid off-taste or odor in your ice or water. Check for leaks. If PEX tubing is used instead of copper, we recommend the

following Whirlpool Part Numbers: W10505928RP (7 ft [2.14 m] jacketed PEX), 8212547RP (5 ft [1.52 m] PEX), or W10267701RP (25 ft [7.62 m] PEX).

■ Install tubing only in areas where temperatures will remain above freezing.

■ If you turn on the refrigerator before the water line is connected, turn off the ice maker to avoid excessive noise or damage to the water valve.

Connect to Water Line

Connect to Refrigerator

1. Create a service loop (minimum diameter of 2 ft [61 cm])

with the copper tubing. Avoid kinks when coiling the copper tubing.

2. Remove the plastic cap from water valve inlet port. Place a

compression nut and sleeve on the copper tubing.

3. Insert the end of the copper tubing into the water valve inlet

port. Shape tubing slightly so that the tubing feeds straight into the port to avoid kinks.

4. Slide the compression nut over the sleeve and screw into the

water valve inlet port.

B C

1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.

2. Turn OFF main water supply. Turn ON nearest faucet long

enough to clear line of water.

3. Find a 1/2" to 1¼" (12.7 mm to 31.8 mm) vertical cold water

pipe near the refrigerator.

IMPORTANT:

■ Make sure it is a cold water pipe.

■ Horizontal pipe will work, but the following procedure must be followed: Drill on the top side of the pipe, not the bottom. This will help keep water away from the drill. This also keeps normal sediment from collecting in the valve.

4. Determine the length of copper tubing you need. Measure

from the connection on the rear of the refrigerator to the water pipe. Add 7 ft (2.1 m) to allow for cleaning. Use 1/4" (6.35 mm) O.D. (outside diameter) copper tubing. Be sure both ends of copper tubing are cut square.

5. Using a cordless drill, drill a 1/4" hole in the cold water pipe

you have selected.

A. Plastic water tubing B. Sleeve

C. Compression nut D. Copper tubing

5. Using an adjustable wrench, hold the nut on the plastic water

line to keep it from moving. Then, with a second wrench turn the compression nut on the copper tubing counterclockwise to completely tighten. Do not overtighten.

A. “P” clamp B. Plastic water line

C. Compression nut D. Copper tubing

6. Check connection by pulling on copper tubing. Attach copper

tubing to refrigerator cabinet with a “P” clamp. Turn on water supply to refrigerator and check for leaks. Correct any leaks.

Complete the Installation

A. Cold water pipe B. Pipe clamp C. Copper tubing D. Compression nut

E. Compression sleeve F. Shutoff valve G. Packing nut

6. Fasten the shutoff valve to the cold water pipe with the pipe

clamp. Be sure the outlet end is solidly in the 1/4" drilled hole in the water pipe and that the washer is under the pipe clamp. Tighten the packing nut. Tighten the pipe clamp screws slowly and evenly so the washer makes a watertight seal. Do not overtighten.

7. Slip the compression sleeve and compression nut on the

copper tubing as shown. Insert the end of the tubing into the outlet end squarely as far as it will go. Screw compression nut onto outlet end with adjustable wrench. Do not overtighten or you may crush the copper tubing.

8. Place the free end of the tubing in a container or sink, and turn

ON the main water supply. Flush the tubing until water is clear. Turn OFF the shutoff valve on the water pipe.
