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, 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 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®† Certied to reduce most 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.

Water Dispenser with Measured Fill

The Measured Fill feature allows you to dispense a desired amount of ltered 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 lled 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 exibility helps maximize storage space and optimize organization.

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 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 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

Four temperature presets are available on the interior control to keep items at the optimal temperature. You can choose from meat/sh, 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 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.

†®

NSF is a registered trademark of NSF International.

Fingerprint-Resistant Steel and Black Stainless Steel (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.

Door Alarm

A helpful alarm sounds when the refrigerator door or freezer drawer is left ajar.

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.

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.

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.

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 “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.

■ Allow the storage tank on the reverse osmosis system to rell

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 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” section.

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

■ Connect to a 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.

Tools Needed:

Gather the required tools and parts before starting installation.

■ Flat-blade screwdriver

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

■ 1/2" nut driver

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

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" household supply line.

NOTE: To allow sufcient water ow to the refrigerator, a minimum 1/2"

(12.7 mm) size household supply line is recommended.

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 “Water Supply Requirements” and “Troubleshooting” sections for suggestions.

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 “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 “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.

Ice Maker and Storage Bin

IMPORTANT: To avoid low ice production and poor quality ice, ush the water system before turning on the ice maker. See “Water Dispenser” section.

■ Following installation, allow 24 hours to produce the rst

batch of ice. Discard the rst 3 batches of ice produced. Allow 2 to 3 days to ll the ice storage bin.

■ The quality of your ice will be only as good as the quality

of the water supplied to your ice maker. Avoid connecting the ice maker to a softened water supply. Water softener chemicals (such as salt) can damage parts of the ice maker and lead to poor quality ice. If a softened water supply cannot be avoided, make sure the water softener is operating properly and is well-maintained.

■ If the ice in the storage bin clumps together, break up ice

using a plastic utensil and discard ice. Do not use anything sharp to break up the ice. This can cause damage to the ice bin and the dispenser mechanism.

■ Do not store anything in the ice storage bin.

Ice Maker in the Refrigerator
