Your KitchenAid
®
French door bottom-mount refrigerator comes equipped
with various innovative storage and energy efficient features.
Energy and Normal Operating Sounds
Your new French door bottom-mount refrigerator has been
designed with a linear compressor to optimize energy efficiency
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-efficiency compressor to
run for extended periods of time at varying speeds in order to
consume only the energy necessary for optimum efficiency. 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 filtered 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, no mixing of air between the compartments to
reduce the transfer of food odors and tastes from refrigerator,
and allow freezer air to remain dry to control frost and reduce
freezer burn.
Air Filter
An air filter is 15 times more powerful than baking soda at
reducing common food odors inside the refrigerator. Replace
your air filter 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 filters are NSF
®†
Certified to reduce most
contaminants, including chlorine taste and odor, lead, pesticides,
and trace amounts of pharmaceuticals. EveryDrop™ brand
filters are the only filters tested and certified for your refrigerator
system. Replace your EveryDrop™ filter every 6 months for
maximum contaminant reduction.
Water Dispenser with Measured Fill
The Measured Fill feature allows you to dispense a desired
amount of filtered water in handy increments 8, 16, or 24 oz.
Water Dispenser with Favorite Fill
The Favorite Fill feature allows you to save 2 custom presets that
can be programmed for favorite items that are frequently filled
like a coffee pot or a water bottle.
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
inches. This flexibility helps maximize storage space and optimize
organization.
Removable Door Bins
Door bins that can be easily removed from the metal finish 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 flavor 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 Storage Bin
This is a cylinder with FreshSeal™ 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 fridge to oven.
Adjustable Shelves on Flipper System
Shelves that can be adjusted up or down easily with the flip 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
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.
3-Tier Freezer Drawer with Extend-Freeze™ Setting
A drawer system that organizes items on 3 levels making them
easier to store and find. 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, flat 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.

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, qualified plumber.
NOTE: If the water pressure is less than what is required, the flow
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 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).
■ 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 use. The tank capacity could be too small to keep
up with the requirements of the refrigerator.
NOTE: Faucet-mounted reverse osmosis systems are
not recommended.
■ 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” section.
If you have questions about your water pressure, call a licensed,
qualified plumber.
Connect the Water Supply
Read all directions before you begin.
IMPORTANT:
■ 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
■

Save Favorite Fill
Household water pressure may affect the accuracy of the
Favorite Fill feature. So, for optimum performance of your water
dispenser, you must first calibrate Measured Fill. (See Measured
Fill section).
NOTE: Water will not be dispensed using the Favorite Fill feature
unless your preferred Favorite Fill amount is saved first.
IMPORTANT:
■ Flush the water system before Favorite Fill.
■ For best results, calibration should be performed when water
is not being used in the house.
1. Place a preferred-size cup on the dispenser tray centered in
front of the ice/water dispenser paddle.
2. Select either Favorite 1 or Favorite 2, and then touch and
hold the Favorite Fill button for 3 seconds to enter into Saving
mode. The Favorite Fill icon will illuminate and remain lit while
the Favorite Fill feature is being saved.
NOTE: You may touch FAVORITE FILL to exit at any time in
Saving mode and the display will return to the Home screen.
3. Press and hold the water dispenser paddle, as needed, to
dispense water to the preferred-size cup.
NOTE: If overfilling or spilling occurs, discard the water and
restart the saving process.
4. When the preferred amount of water has been correctly
dispensed into the cup, touch the Favorite Fill button to
confirm the favorite amount.
5. When Favorite Fill amount has been confirmed, the display
will return to the home screen.
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 first cubes.
Dispensing Water
IMPORTANT:
■ Dispense at least 1 qt (1 L) of water every week to maintain a
fresh supply.
■ If the flow of water from the dispenser decreases, it could be
caused by low water pressure.
■ With the water filter 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 “Water Supply
Requirements” and “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 specified 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 the fourth

3. Touch DISPENSE WATER (center button) 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 refill several glasses with the same measurement
by continuing to touch DISPENSE WATER (center button)
after each glass fill.
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
underfill or to avoid unintentionally overfilling coffee cups.
4. Dispense water.
NOTE: While dispensing water, the flow of water will
automatically stop once the desired volume has been
dispensed.

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 first finish 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
