Proper Disposal of Your Old Refrigerator

WARNING

Suffocation Hazard Remove doors from your old refrigerator. Failure to do so can result in death or brain damage.

IMPORTANT: Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of the past. Junked or abandoned refrigerators are still dangerous – even if they will sit for “just a few days.” If you are getting rid of your old refrigerator, please follow these instructions to help prevent accidents.

Before You Throw Away Your Old Refrigerator or Freezer:

Take off the doors.

Leave the shelves in place so that children may not easily climb inside.

Important information to know about disposal of refrigerants:

Dispose of refrigerator in accordance with Federal and Local regulations. Refrigerants must be evacuated by a licensed, EPA certified refrigerant technician in accordance with established procedures.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

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.

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.

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.

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.

Unpack the Refrigerator

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 fingers. Wipe with warm water and dry.

■ Do not use sharp instruments, rubbing alcohol, flammable

fluids, or abrasive cleaners to remove tape or glue. These products can damage the surface of your refrigerator. For more information, see “Refrigerator Safety.”

■ Dispose of/recycle all packaging materials.

Location Requirements

IMPORTANT: This refrigerator is designed for indoor, household use only.

To ensure proper ventilation for your refrigerator, allow for a ¹⁄₂" (1.25 cm) of 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 fixed 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 “Refrigerator Care.”

Electrical Requirements

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.

WARNING

Before you move your refrigerator into its final location, it is important to make sure you have the proper electrical connection.

Recommended Grounding Method

A 115 volt, 60 Hz, AC only, 15- or 20-amp fused, grounded electrical supply is required. It is recommended that a separate circuit serving only your refrigerator be provided. Use an outlet that cannot be turned off by a switch. Do not use an extension cord.

NOTE: Before performing any type of installation or cleaning, or removing a light bulb, turn cooling off or turn the control (Thermostat, Refrigerator or Freezer Control depending on the model) to OFF, and then disconnect the refrigerator from the electrical source. When you are finished, reconnect the refrigerator to the electrical source and turn cooling on or reset the control (Thermostat, Refrigerator or Freezer Control depending on the model) to the desired setting. See “Using the Controls” in the User Instructions, User Guide, or Use & Care Guide.

Water Supply Requirements

Gather the required tools and parts before starting installation. Read and follow the instructions provided with any tools listed here.

TOOLS NEEDED:

■ Flat-blade screwdriver

■ ⁷⁄₁₆" and ¹⁄₂" Open-end or two

adjustable wrenches

IMPORTANT:

■ All installations must meet local plumbing code requirements.

■ Do not use a piercing-type or ³⁄₁₆" (4.76 mm) saddle valve

which reduces water flow and clogs more easily.

■ Use copper tubing and check for leaks. Install copper tubing

only in areas where the household temperatures will remain above freezing.

■ For models with water filters, the disposable water filter

should be replaced at least every 6 months.

■ ¹⁄₄" Nut driver

■ ¹⁄₄" Drill bit

■ Cordless drill

Water Pressure

A cold water supply with water pressure of 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.

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).

If the water pressure to the reverse osmosis system is less than 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 usage.

■ 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.”

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 shall be installed in accordance with the

International Plumbing Code and any local codes and ordinances.

■ The gray water tubing on the back of the refrigerator (which is

used to connect to the household water line) is a PEX (cross-linked polyethylene) tube. 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 Whirlpool 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.

■ If you turn on the refrigerator before the water line is

connected, turn off the ice maker to avoid excessive noise or damage to the water valve.

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.

WARNING

1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.

2. Turn OFF main water supply. Turn ON nearest faucet long

enough to clear line of water.

3. Find a ¹⁄₂" to 1¹⁄₄" (12.7 mm to 31.8 mm) vertical cold water

pipe near the refrigerator.

IMPORTANT:

■ Make sure it is a cold water pipe.

■ Horizontal pipe will work, but the following procedure

must be followed: Drill on the top side of the pipe, not the bottom. This will help keep water away from the drill. This also keeps normal sediment from collecting in the valve.

4. Determine the length of copper tubing you need. Measure

from the connection on the rear of the refrigerator to the water pipe. Add 7 ft (2.1 m) to allow for cleaning. Use ¹⁄₄" (6.35 mm) O.D. (outside diameter) copper tubing. Be sure both ends of copper tubing are cut square.

5. Using a cordless drill, drill a ¹⁄₄" hole in the cold water pipe you

have selected.

4. Slide the compression nut over the sleeve and screw into the

water valve inlet port.

A. Plastic water tubing B. Sleeve

C. Compression nut D. Copper tubing

5. Using an adjustable wrench, hold the nut on the plastic water

ON the main water supply. Flush the tubing until water is clear. Turn OFF the shutoff valve on the water pipe.

Connect to Refrigerator

1. Create a service loop (minimum diameter of 2 ft [61 cm]) with

the copper tubing. Avoid kinks when coiling the copper tubing.

2. Remove the plastic cap from water valve inlet port. Place a

compression nut and sleeve on the copper tubing.

3. Insert the end of the copper tubing into the water valve inlet

port. Shape tubing slightly so that the tubing feeds straight into the port to avoid kinks.

A. “P” clamp B. Plastic water line

C. Compression nut D. Copper tubing

6. Check connection by pulling on copper tubing. Attach copper

tubing to refrigerator cabinet with a “P” clamp. Turn on water supply to refrigerator and check for leaks. Correct any leaks.

■ 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.

■ Do not use anything sharp to break up the ice in the bin. This

can cause damage to the ice bin and dispenser mechanism.

■ Do not store anything on top of the ice maker or in the ice

storage bin.

Water and Ice Dispenser

Cut Hazard Use a sturdy glass when dispensing ice. Failure to do so can result in cuts.

WARNING

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.

IMPORTANT:

■ After connecting the refrigerator to a water source or

replacing the water filter, flush the water system. Use a sturdy container to depress and hold the water dispenser pad for 5 seconds, then release it for 5 seconds. Repeat until water begins to flow. Once water begins to flow, continue depressing and releasing the dispenser pad (5 seconds on, 5 seconds off) until a total of 4 gal. (15 L) has been dispensed. This will flush air from the filter and water dispensing system, and prepare the water filter for use. Additional flushing may be required in some households. As air is cleared from the system, water may spurt out of the dispenser.

NOTE: After 5 minutes of continuous dispensing, the dispenser will stop dispensing water to avoid flooding. To continue dispensing, remove the container and press the dispensing lever again.

■ The dispenser will dispense either water or cubed ice.

■ Allow 24 hours for the refrigerator to cool down and chill

water. Dispense enough water every week to maintain a fresh supply.

■ Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice. Discard the

first three batches of ice produced.

Dispense Ice and Water

Auto: The light sensor monitors the light level in the room. The

dispenser light will illuminate at half-power when the light level is low. To activate the Auto option, press the LIGHT button. The Auto indicator light will illuminate.

On: For continuous light, press the LIGHT button a second time. The On indicator light will illuminate.

Off: To turn the dispenser light off, press the LIGHT button a third time.

Dispenser Lock

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

NOTE: The dispenser lock does not shut off power to the product, to the ice maker, or to the dispenser light. It just deactivates the dispenser lever.

To Lock and Unlock Dispenser:

■ Press and hold the CONTROL LOCK touch pad for 3 seconds

to lock the dispenser. The indicator light will illuminate when Lock is on.

■ Press and hold the CONTROL LOCK touch pad again for

3 seconds to unlock dispenser. The indicator light will turn off.

1. Select water or cubed ice by touching the word WATER or ICE

on the control panel. The light above the control indicates your selection.

2. Press a sturdy container against the dispenser lever. IMPORTANT: You do not need to apply a lot of pressure to the

lever in order to activate the dispenser. Pressing hard will not make the water or ice dispense faster or in greater quantities.

3. Remove the container to stop dispensing.

Dispenser Light

NOTES:

■ The dispenser lights are LEDs which should not need to be

changed.

■ When you use the dispenser, the lever will automatically turn

the light on. If you want the light to be on continuously, you may choose either On or Auto.

Water Filtration System

The water filter is located in the upper right-hand corner of the refrigerator compartment.

Water Filter Status Lights

When a water filter has been installed in the refrigerator the water filter status lights will remind you when it is time to order and replace your water filter.

■ The Order light (yellow) will illuminate when 90% of the volume

of water for which the filter is rated has passed through the filter OR 5 months have passed since the filter was installed.

■ The Replace light (red) will illuminate when the rated volume of

water has passed through the filter OR 6 months have passed since the filter was installed. A new water filter should be installed immediately when the Replace light is illuminated.

The disposable water filter should be replaced at least every 6 months OR earlier if the flow of water to your water dispenser or ice maker decreases noticeably.

Reset Water Filter Status

After replacing the water filter, press and hold RESET FILTER or FILTER RESET (depending on your model) for 3 seconds. The Order and Replace indicator lights will blink and then go off when the system is reset. See “Using the Controls.”

Replacing the Water Filter

WARNING

Explosion Hazard Use nonflammable cleaner. Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.

To purchase a replacement water filter, model UKF8001AXX-750 or UKF8001AXX-200, see “Accessories.”

IMPORTANT: Air trapped in the water system may cause water and filter to eject. Always dispense water for at least 2 minutes before removing the filter or blue bypass cap.

1. Turn filter counterclockwise to remove.

2. Remove sealing label from replacement filter and insert the

filter end into the filter head.

3. Turn the filter clockwise until it stops. Snap the filter cover

closed.

4. Flush the water system. See “Water Dispenser” or “Water and

IMPORTANT: This cleaner is for stainless steel parts only! Do not allow the Stainless Steel Cleaner and Polish to come

into contact with any plastic parts such as the trim pieces, dispenser covers or door gaskets. If unintentional contact does occur, clean plastic part with a sponge and mild detergent in warm water. Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.

4. There is no need for routine condenser cleaning in normal

home operating environments. If the environment is particularly greasy or dusty, or there is significant pet traffic in the home, the condenser should be cleaned every 2 to 3 months to ensure maximum efficiency.

If you need to clean the condenser:

■ Remove the base grille.

■ Use a vacuum cleaner with a soft brush to clean the grille,

the open areas behind the grille and the front surface area of the condenser.

■ Replace the base grille when finished.

5. Plug in refrigerator or reconnect power.

REFRIGERATOR CARE

Cleaning

Both the refrigerator and freezer sections defrost automatically. However, clean both sections about once a month to avoid buildup of odors. Wipe up spills immediately.

IMPORTANT: Because air circulates between both sections, any odors formed in one section will transfer to the other. You must thoroughly clean both sections to eliminate odors. To avoid odor transfer and drying out of food, wrap or cover foods tightly.

To Clean Your Refrigerator:

NOTE: Do not use abrasive or harsh cleaners such as window

sprays, scouring cleansers, flammable fluids, cleaning waxes, concentrated detergents, bleaches or cleansers containing petroleum products on plastic parts, interior and door liners or gaskets. Do not use paper towels, scouring pads, or other harsh cleaning tools.

1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.

2. Hand wash, rinse, and dry removable parts and interior

surfaces thoroughly. Use a clean sponge or soft cloth and a mild detergent in warm water.

3. Wash stainless steel and painted metal exteriors with a clean

sponge or soft cloth and a mild detergent in warm water.

■ To keep your stainless steel refrigerator looking like new

and to remove minor scuffs or marks, it is suggested that you use the manufacturer’s approved Stainless Steel Cleaner and Polish, Part Number 20000008. To order the cleaner, call 1-800-901-2042 U.S.A. or 1-800-807-6777 Canada.
