Location Requirements
WARNING
Explosion Hazard
Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as gasoline, away from refrigerator.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
NOTES:
■The cabinet depth refrigerator can be installed into a recessed opening, at the end of cabinets or as a freestanding refrigerator.
■If you are installing the refrigerator to fit flush with the front of the base cabinets, all shoe molding and baseboards must be removed from the rear of the refrigerator opening. Allow for 1" (2.54 cm) of space behind the refrigerator.
■Location should permit doors to open fully. See the “Door Swing Dimensions” section.
4
■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.
■Floor must support refrigerator weight (more than 600 lbs [272 kg], door panels and contents).
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 final location, it is important to make sure you have the proper electrical connection.
Recommended Grounding Method
A 115 volt, 60 Hz, AC only 15or 20-amp fused, grounded electrical supply is required. It is recommended that a separate circuit serving only your refrigerator be provided. Use an outlet that cannot be turned off by a switch. Do not use an extension cord.
IMPORTANT: If this product is connected to a GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) protected outlet, nuisance tripping of the power supply may occur, resulting in loss of cooling. Food quality and flavor may be affected. If nuisance tripping has occurred, and if the condition of the food appears poor, dispose of it.
NOTE: Before performing any type of installation, cleaning, or removing a light bulb, turn the control (Thermostat, Refrigerator or Freezer Control depending on the model) to OFF and then disconnect the refrigerator from the electrical source. When you are finished, reconnect the refrigerator to the electrical source and reset the control (Thermostat, Refrigerator or Freezer Control depending on the model) to the desired setting.
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:
■ |
Flat-blade screwdriver |
■ |
¹⁄ " Nut driver |
■ |
⁄ " and ¹⁄ " Open-end or two |
■ |
¹⁄ " Drill bit |
|
adjustable wrenches |
■ |
Cordless drill |
|
|
NOTE: Your refrigerator dealer has a kit available with a ¹⁄ " (6.35 mm) saddle-type shutoff valve, a union, and copper tubing. Before purchasing, make sure a saddle-type valve complies with your local plumbing codes. Do not use a piercing-type or ³⁄ "
(4.76 mm) saddle valve which reduces water flow and clogs more easily.
IMPORTANT:
■All installations must meet local plumbing code requirements.
■Use copper tubing and check for leaks. Install copper tubing only in areas where the household temperatures will remain above freezing.
Water Pressure
A cold water supply with water pressure of between 30 and
120 psi (207 and 827 kPa) is required to operate the ice maker. If you have questions about your water pressure, call a licensed, qualified 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 30 and 120 psi (207 and
827 kPa).
If a reverse osmosis water filtration 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 filter in the reverse osmosis system is blocked. Replace the filter if necessary.
■Allow the storage tank on the reverse osmosis system to refill after heavy usage.
■If your refrigerator has a water filter, it may further reduce the water pressure when used in conjunction with a reverse osmosis system. Remove the water filter. See “Water Filtration System” in the Use & Care Guide.
If you have questions about your water pressure, call a licensed, qualified plumber.

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.
WARNING
Broken
Do not hit refrigerator |
. |
Protect glass surface and edges during installation or removal of doors.
Failure to do so can result in serious eye injury or minor cuts.
Remove the Packaging
Dispose of/recycle all packaging materials. Do not use sharp instruments, rubbing alcohol, flammable fluids, or abrasive cleaners to remove tape or glue. These products can damage the surface of your refrigerator.
IMPORTANT:
■Use ¹⁄ " socket wrench to remove skids (socket extension is recommended).
■All four leveling legs must contact the floor to support and stabilize the full weight of the refrigerator.
When Moving Your Refrigerator:
Your refrigerator is heavy. When moving the refrigerator for cleaning or service, be sure to cover the floor with cardboard or hardboard to avoid floor damage. Always pull the refrigerator straight out when moving it. Do not wiggle or “walk” the refrigerator when trying to move it, as floor damage could occur.
Clean Before Using
After you remove all of the package materials, clean the inside of your refrigerator before using it. See the cleaning instructions in the Use & Care Guide or User Instructions.
Important information to know about glass shelves, covers and door panels (on some models):
•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. Glass shelves and covers are heavy. Use special care when removing them to avoid impact from dropping.
•Do not hit the glass door panels with pots, pans, furniture, toys or other objects. Scratching, hitting, jarring or stressing the glass may weaken its structure, causing an increased likelihood of breakage at a later date.
•For your protection, tempered glass is designed to shatter into many small, pebble-size pieces. This is normal.
Custom Door Panels
(on some models)
Custom door panels allow you to blend the exterior of your refrigerator into the overall kitchen décor. If you plan to install custom wood panels, you will need to create the panels yourself or consult a qualified cabinetmaker or carpenter. Follow these panel dimension and placement instructions to be sure that the custom panels will fit properly.
The custom panels must have backer panels attached in order to mount them to the refrigerator. It is most common to work with three panels, as shown in the following graphic: a ³⁄ " (19.05 mm) decorative panel, a ¹⁄ " (1.59 mm) spacer panel or spacer strips, and a ¹⁄ " (6.35 mm) backer panel.

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 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.
TOOLS NEEDED:
Gather the required tools and parts before starting installation.
■Flat-blade screwdriver
■⁄" and ¹⁄" open-end wrenches or two adjustable wrenches
■¹⁄" nut driver

Connect to Water Line
IMPORTANT: If you turn the refrigerator on before the water line is connected, turn the ice maker OFF.
Style 1 (Recommended)
1.Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.
2.Turn OFF main water supply. Turn ON nearest faucet long enough to clear line of water.
3.Use a quarter-turn shutoff valve or the equivalent, served by a ¹⁄ " copper household supply line.
NOTE: To allow sufficient water flow to the refrigerator, a minimum ¹⁄ " size copper household supply line is recommended.

4.Now you are ready to connect the copper tubing to the shutoff valve. Use ¹⁄ " (6.35 mm) OD soft copper tubing to connect the shutoff valve and the refrigerator.
■Ensure that you have the proper length needed for the job. Be sure both ends of the copper tubing are cut square.
■Slip compression sleeve and compression nut onto copper tubing as shown. Insert end of tubing into outlet end squarely as far as it will go. Screw compression nut onto outlet end with adjustable wrench. Do not overtighten.

5.Place the free end of the tubing into a container or sink, and turn on main water supply to flush out tubing until water is clear. Turn off shutoff valve on the water pipe.
NOTE: Always drain the water line before making the final connection to the inlet of the water valve, to avoid possible water valve malfunction.
6.Bend the copper tubing to meet the water line inlet, which is located on the back of the refrigerator cabinet as shown. Leave a coil of copper tubing to allow the refrigerator to be pulled out of the cabinet or away from the wall for service.
Style 2
1.Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.
2.Turn OFF main water supply. Turn ON nearest faucet long enough to clear line of water.
3.Locate a ¹⁄ " (1.27 cm) to 1¹⁄ " (3.18 cm) vertical cold water pipe near the refrigerator.
IMPORTANT:
■Make sure it is a cold water pipe.
■Horizontal pipe will work, but drill on the top side of the pipe, not the bottom. This will help keep water away from the drill and normal sediment from collecting in the valve.
4.Determine the length of copper tubing you need. Measure from the connection on the lower rear corner of refrigerator to the water pipe. Add 7 ft (2.1 m) to allow for cleaning. Use ¹⁄ " (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⁄ " (6.35 mm) hole in the cold water pipe you have selected.

6.Fasten the shutoff valve to the cold water pipe with the pipe clamp. Be sure the outlet end is solidly in the ¹⁄ " (6.35 mm) 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, or you may crush the copper tubing.
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 the compression nut onto outlet end with adjustable wrench. Do not overtighten.
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. Coil the copper tubing.
Connect to Refrigerator
Style 1
1.Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.
2.Remove and discard the short, black plastic part from the end of the water line inlet.
3.Thread the nut onto the end of the tubing. Tighten the nut by hand. Then tighten it with a wrench two more turns. Do not overtighten.
NOTE: To avoid rattling, be sure the copper tubing does not touch the cabinet’s side wall or other parts inside the cabinet.

1.Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.
2.Remove and discard the plastic part that is attached to the inlet of the water valve.
3.Attach the copper tube to the valve inlet using a compression nut and sleeve as shown. Tighten the compression nut. Do not overtighten.
4.Use the tube clamp on the back of the refrigerator to secure the tubing to the refrigerator as shown. This will help avoid damage to the tubing when the refrigerator is pushed back against the wall.
5.Turn shutoff valve ON.
6.Check for leaks. Tighten any connections (including connections at the valve) or nuts that leak.

7.On some models, the ice maker is equipped with a built-in water strainer. If your water conditions require a second water strainer, install it in the ¹⁄ " (6.35 mm) water line at either tube connection. Obtain a water strainer from your nearest appliance dealer.
Style 3
1.Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.
2.Remove and discard the black nylon plug from the gray water tube on the rear of the refrigerator.
3.If the gray water tube supplied with the refrigerator is not long enough, a ¹⁄ " x ¹⁄ " (6.35 mm x 6.35 mm) coupling is needed in order to connect the water tubing to an existing household water line. Thread the provided nut onto the coupling on the end of the copper tubing.
NOTE: Tighten the nut by hand. Then tighten it with a wrench two more turns. Do not overtighten.
