What’s New Behind the Doors?

Your KitchenAid® French door bottom-mount refrigerator comes equipped

with various innovative storage and energy-efcient features.

Energy and Normal Operating Sounds

Your new French door bottom-mount refrigerator has been designed with a linear compressor to optimize energy efciency and better regulate temperatures to match cooling demand. You may notice that it operates differently than your previously owned refrigerator. It is normal for the high-efciency compressor to run for extended periods of time at varying speeds in order to consume only the energy necessary for optimum efciency. In addition, during various stages of the cooling cycle, you may hear normal operating sounds that are unfamiliar to you.

In-Door-Ice® Ice Dispensing System

The ice maker and ice storage bin are located in the door for easy access to ltered ice while freeing up valuable shelf space inside.

Dual Evaporator

The refrigerator and freezer compartments have separate evaporators to provide fresh food and frozen food with optimal storage climates: cool and humid in the fresh food, cold and dry in the freezer. There is no mixing of air between the compartments to reduce the transfer of food odors and tastes from refrigerator, and allows freezer air to remain dry to control frost and reduce freezer burn.

Air Filter

An air lter is 15 times more powerful than baking soda at reducing common food odors inside the refrigerator. Replace your air lter every 6 months for maximum odor reduction.

Produce Preserver

Ethylene is a natural gas produced by fruits and vegetables to promote ripening. The Produce Preserver absorbs ethylene to delay the over-ripening of fresh produce. As a result, certain produce items will stay fresh longer.

EveryDrop® Water Filter

EveryDrop® water lters are NSF contaminants, including chlorine taste and odor, lead, pesticides, and trace amounts of pharmaceuticals. EveryDrop® brand lters are the only lters tested and certied for your refrigerator system. Replace your EveryDrop® lter every 6 months for maximum contaminant reduction.

†

Certied to reduce most

Water Dispenser with Measured Fill

The Measured Fill feature allows you to dispense a desired amount of ltered water in handy increments of 8, 16, or 24 oz.

Water Dispenser with Favorite Fill

The Favorite Fill feature allows you to save two custom presets that can be programmed for favorite items that are frequently lled, like a coffee pot or a water bottle.

Removable Door Bins

Door bins that can be easily removed from the metal nish base they sit on, making them ideal for carrying condiments or items from refrigerator to table. The bins are dishwasher safe for easy cleaning.

FreshSeal™ Dairy Bin

A dedicated dairy bin with the FreshSeal™ gasket to help extend the freshness and preserve the avor of butter and other dairy items.

FreshSeal™ Crispers

These upgraded crisper drawers use a gasket seal to maintain the ideal temperature and humidity levels to keep produce fresh longer. These drawers also feature premium soft-close glides that provide the best extension for easy access and maximum visibility to your produce items.

Pull-Out Tray

The tray fully extends for easy access and visibility. The tray also features soft self-close glides that provide effortless movement, even when fully loaded. The tray is removable, making cleaning easy.

Herb Bin Storage

This is a cylinder with the FreshSeal™ bin to keep sensitive items like herbs fresh longer. The container allows water to be added to keep stems wet without covering leaves. It can be placed anywhere in the refrigerator and accommodates tall items like parsley, cilantro, and rosemary in addition to herbs like oregano, thyme, and mint.

Under-Shelf Storage (on some models)

Utilizes typically empty space beneath the shelf to create a prep zone ideal for dough, desserts, casseroles, or marinating meats. The slide-out pan is oven- and dishwasher-safe and easily transitions from refrigerator to oven.

Adjustable Shelves on Flipper System

Shelves that can be adjusted up or down easily with the ip of a lever, allowing them to be adjusted without having to unload them. The shelves are easy to clean and let you use the whole shelf edge to edge for full visibility and accessibility.

Temp Control Pantry Drawer

Four temperature presets are available on the interior control to keep items at the optimal temperature. You can choose from Meat-Fish, Cold Drinks, Deli-Cheese, and Wine. Pantry slides opens effortlessly, even when fully loaded, with soft, self-close glides and features the best extension in freestanding refrigeration.

Slide-Away Split Shelf

This shelf features a versatile design that allows three-quarters of the shelf to retract to accommodate taller items, up to

16.75" (42.5 cm). This exibility helps maximize storage space and optimize organization.

3-Tier Freezer Drawer with Extend-Freeze™ Setting

A drawer system that organizes items on three levels making them easier to store and nd. The lower drawer includes a divider. There’s also an in-door pizza pocket, a pull-out drawer for smaller items and third level glass shelf for small, at items. The Extend-Freeze™ setting takes the entire freezer to its coldest setting to help reduce freezer burn and extend the life of frozen items.

Fingerprint-Resistant Steel and Black Stainless Steel

WARNING

(on some models)

A specialized coating for stainless steel that resists smudges, ngerprints, and water marks. It is easy to clean with just water and a towel.

LED Lighting

There is bright LED strip lighting for maximum illumination. LED lights do not require replacement.

■ 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.

If the 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.

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 avor 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 or cleaning, turn off cooling, then disconnect the refrigerator from the electrical source. When you have nished, reconnect the refrigerator to the electrical source and turn on cooling. See the “Using the Controls” section.

Water Supply Requirements

A cold water supply with water pressure 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.

NOTE: If the water pressure is less than what is required, the ow of water from the water dispenser could decrease or ice cubes could be hollow or irregular-shaped.

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).

■ Check to see whether the sediment lter in the reverse

osmosis system is blocked. Replace the lter if necessary.

■ Plumbing must be installed in accordance with the

International Plumbing Code and any local codes and ordinances.

■ 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 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

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

wrenches

■ 1/4" nut driver

NOTE: Do not use a piercing-type or 3/16" saddle valve which reduces water ow and clogsmore readily.

Connect to Water Line

IMPORTANT: If you turn the refrigerator on before the water is

connected, turn off the ice maker.

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 shut-off valve or the equivalent, served by

a 1/2" (12.7 mm) household supply line.

NOTE: To allow sufcient water ow to the refrigerator, a minimum

1/2" (13 mm) size household supply line is recommended.

Refrigerator Leveling

and Door Closing

The base grille covers the adjustable brake feet and roller assemblies located at the bottom of the refrigerator below the freezer drawer. Before making any adjustments, remove the base grille and move the refrigerator to its nal location.

Tool Needed: 1/4" hex driver Tool Provided: 1/4" hex key

1. Use a 1/4" hex nut driver to remove both screws in base

grille.

2. Remove the base grille. Using both hands, grasp the grille

rmly and pull it toward you. Open the freezer drawer to access the brake feet.

NOTE: To allow the refrigerator to roll more easily, raise the brake feet by turning them counterclockwise. The front rollers will be touching the oor.

To Align the Doors:

■ Keeping both refrigerator doors closed, pull out the freezer

drawer. Locate the bottom hinge pin of the right-hand refrigerator door. The alignment screw is inside the bottom hinge pin.

■ Insert the short end of the 1/8" hex key wrench (packed with

the Door Handle Installation Instructions) into the bottom hinge pin until it is fully engaged in the alignment screw. To raise the refrigerator door, turn the hex key to the right. To lower the door, turn the hex key to the left.

Dispensing

Touch CUBED ICE or CRUSHED ICE for your ice selection.

NOTES:

■ For crushed ice, cubes are crushed before being dispensed.

This may cause a slight delay when dispensing crushed ice. Noise from the ice crusher is normal and pieces of ice may vary in size.

■ When changing from crushed to cubed, a few ounces of

crushed ice will be dispensed along with the rst cubes.

Dispensing Water

IMPORTANT:

■ Dispense at least 1 qt (1 L) of water every week to maintain a

fresh supply.

■ If the ow of water from the dispenser decreases, it could be

caused by low water pressure.

■ With the water lter removed, dispense 1 cup (237 mL)

of water. If 1 cup (237 mL) of water is dispensed in 8 seconds or less, the water pressure to the refrigerator meets the minimum requirement.

■ If it takes longer than 8 seconds to dispense 1 cup

(237 mL) of water, the water pressure to the refrigerator is lower than recommended. See the “Water Supply Requirements” and the “Troubleshooting” sections for suggestions.

To Dispense Water — Standard:

1. Press a sturdy glass against the water dispenser paddle.

2. Remove the glass to stop dispensing. NOTE: The Dispense Water button does not enable standard

dispensing. It only functions in Measured Fill mode.

To Dispense Water — Measured Fill:

Measured Fill allows you to dispense a specied amount of water with the touch of a few buttons.

1. Put a sturdy glass under waterspout. Touch MEASURED FILL to activate.

NOTE: The amount of water you select will be dispensed. Make sure the container can hold the entire volume. If ice is in the container, you may need to adjust your selection.

2. Touch MEASURED FILL to turn on, then touch to select 8 oz (0.2 L), 16 oz (0.5 L), or 24 oz (0.7 L). Touch a fourth time to exit Measured Fill display.

3. Touch DISPENSE WATER or press paddle and the selected amount of water will be dispensed.

NOTES:

■ The Measured Fill dispenser will automatically time out after

1 minute of inactivity.

■ You can rell several glasses with the same measurement

by continuing to touch DISPENSE WATER after each glass ll.

Measured Fill options are listed in the following chart:

Units

Ounces 8 16 24

Cups 1 2 3 Liters 0.2 0.5 0.7

NOTE: Most coffee cups (commonly 4 to 6 oz [118 to 177 mL] per cup) are not the same size as a measuring cup (8 oz [237 mL]). You may need to recalibrate Measured Fill to underll or to avoid unintentionally overlling coffee cups.

4. Dispense water. NOTE: While dispensing water, the ow of water will

automatically stop once the desired volume has been dispensed.

■ Press a sturdy glass against the dispenser paddle below

the waterspout.

■ Place the glass below the waterspout and touch

DISPENSE WATER for hands-free dispensing.

5. To pause dispensing before the selected volume has been dispensed, touch DISPENSE WATER a second time or touch the water dispenser paddle. Touch DISPENSE WATER or paddle again to resume dispensing remaining amount.

NOTE: If you stop dispensing before the desired volume has been dispensed, the display will turn off after 1 minute. If you have not resumed by then, it will reset back to the original amount.

6. To select a new volume or start dispensing the same volume again, you must rst nish dispensing the selected volume or turn off the Measured Fill feature (either by waiting 1 minute so it will automatically turn off, or by touching Cubed Ice or Crushed Ice to manually turn it off), and then select MEASURED FILL again.

To Dispense Water — Favorite Fill:

Favorite Fill allows you to dispense a preferred amount of water with the touch of a few buttons.

1. Put a sturdy glass under waterspout. Touch FAVORITE FILL to activate.

To Dispense Ice: Paddle Dispensing

1. Select the desired type of ice by pressing CUBED ICE or

CRUSHED ICE.

WARNING

Cut Hazard

Use a sturdy glass when dispensing ice.

Failure to do so can result in cuts.

2. Press a sturdy glass against the dispenser paddle. Hold the

glass close to the dispenser opening, so ice does not fall outside of the glass.

IMPORTANT: You do not need to apply a lot of pressure to the paddle to activate the ice dispenser. Pressing hard will not make the ice dispense faster or in greater quantities.

3. Remove the glass to stop dispensing. NOTE: Ice may continue to dispense for several seconds after

removing the glass from the dispenser paddle. The dispenser may continue to make noise for a few seconds after dispensing.

The Dispenser Drip Tray

The drip tray can be removed to carry to the sink to empty or clean.

■ Lift up on the front edge of the tray and pull forward to remove.

■ The drip tray can also slide out to assist in Measured/

Favorite Fill.

The Ice Dispenser

IMPORTANT:

■ If the ice cubes are hollow or have an irregular shape, it could

be because of low water pressure. See the “Water Supply Requirements” section.

■ Ice travels from the ice storage bin through the dispenser

chute to the dispenser. To turn off the ice maker, see the “Ice Maker and Storage Bin” section.

■ The dispenser may continue to make noise and ice may

continue to dispense for several seconds after releasing the dispenser button or paddle.

To Clean the Ice Dispenser Chute:

Humidity causes ice to naturally clump together. Ice particles can build up until the ice dispenser chute becomes blocked.

If ice is not dispensed regularly, it may be necessary to empty the ice storage bin and clean the ice delivery chute, the ice storage bin, and the area beneath the storage bin every 2 weeks.

■ If necessary, remove the ice clogging the storage bin and

delivery chute using a plastic utensil.

■ Clean the ice delivery chute and the bottom of the ice storage

bin using a warm, damp cloth, and then dry thoroughly.

The Dispenser Light

1. When you use the dispenser, the light will automatically

turn on.

2. The dispenser light also serves as an automatic nightlight.

Once the ambient light in the room is reduced, the auto sensor will cause the dispenser light to illuminate.

The Dispenser Lock

The dispenser can be locked for easy cleaning or to avoid unintentional dispensing by small children and pets.

NOTE: The lock feature does not shut off power to the refrigerator or the dispenser light. It simply deactivates the controls and dispenser levers. To turn off the ice maker, see the “Ice Maker and Storage Bin” section.

■ Touch and hold CUBED ICE for 3 seconds to lock the

dispenser.

■ Touch and hold CUBED ICE for 3 seconds to unlock the

dispenser.

■ The display screen indicates when the dispenser is locked.
