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.

A 115 Volt, 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.

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 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.
To Dispense Ice: Paddle Dispensing
1. Select the desired type of ice by pressing CUBED ICE or
CRUSHED ICE.
■ The drip tray can also slide out to assist in Measured/Favorite
Fill.
The Dispenser Light

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 “Ice Maker and Storage Bin” section.
■ Touch and hold CUBED ICE for 3 seconds to lock the
dispenser.
24
Page 25
■ Touch and hold CUBED ICE for 3 seconds to unlock the
dispenser.
■ The display screen indicates when the dispenser is locked.
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
The ice maker is located on the left door behind the bins. Ice cubes are ejected into the ice storage bin located on the left­hand refrigerator door.
Turn the Ice Maker On/Off
1. Push up on the latch on the left-hand side of the ice
compartment to open the door.
3. Close the ice compartment door. Remove and Replace the Ice Storage Bin
■ Remove the ice storage bin by inserting your ngers into the
hole at the base of the bin and pulling the latch to release the bin from the compartment. Lift the storage bin up and pull it straight out.
■ Replace the storage bin inside the ice compartment and push
down to make sure it is rmly in place.
Ice Production Rate
■ The ice maker should produce approximately 3 lbs (1.4 kg)
of ice per day under normal operation.
■ To increase ice production, select the “Fast Ice” feature from
the control panel. See “Using the Controls” section.
2. Turn on the ice maker by moving the switch to the On (I) position.
NOTES:
■ To manually turn off the ice maker, move the control to the
Off (O) position.
■ Your ice maker has an automatic shutoff. The sensor will
automatically stop ice production if the storage bin is full, if the door is open, or the storage bin is removed. The control will remain in the On (up) position.
