What’s New Behind the Doors?
Your KitchenAid® French door bottom-mount refrigerator comes equipped
with various innovative storage and energy efcient features.
Energy and Normal Operating Sounds
Your new French door bottom-mount refrigerator has been
designed with a linear compressor to optimize energy efciency
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-efciency compressor to
run for extended periods of time at varying speeds in order to
consume only the energy necessary for optimum efciency. 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®† Certied 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 certied 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.

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

drawer is left ajar.

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.
Refrigerator Delivery
■ A minimum door opening of 33" (838 mm) is required. If
door opening is 36" (914 mm) or less, then removal of doors,
drawer, and hinges is required.
■ Cart the refrigerator from the side for all door openings.
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.
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.
■ 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.
■ Dispose of/recycle all packaging materials.
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.
IMPORTANT: This appliances is intended to be used in
household and similar applications such as:
■ Staff kitchen areas in shops, ofce 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 a
1/2" (1.25 cm) space on each side and at the top. Allow for a
1" (2.54 cm) 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 a 3³⁄4" (9.5 cm) minimum space between the refrigerator
and wall to allow 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.
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 the “Refrigerator Care” section.
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.
