INSTRUCTIONS

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

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.

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 and approved accessories 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, cleaning, or
removing a light bulb, turn off Cooling, and then disconnect the
refrigerator from the electrical source. When you have finished,
reconnect the refrigerator to the electrical source and turn on
Cooling. See “Using the Controls.”

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.

Water Pressure

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.

444444

■ ¹⁄₄" Nut driver

■ ¹⁄₄" Drill bit

■ Cordless drill

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 Maytag 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.

Connect to Water Line

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 lower right 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

Ice Maker and Ice Storage Bin

IMPORTANT:

■ Flush the water system before turning on the ice maker. See

“Water and Ice Dispensers.”

■ The ice maker and storage bin are located in the upper left-

hand side of the refrigerator compartment.

Ice Production Rate

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

first three batches of ice produced.

■ The ice maker should produce approximately 8 to 12 batches

of ice in a 24-hour period.

■ To increase ice production, lower the freezer and refrigerator

temperature. See “Using the Controls.” Wait 24 hours
between adjustments.

NOTE: Setting the freezer to a colder temperature may make
some foods, such as ice cream, harder.

Remember

■ 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

begins to flow. Once water begins to flow, continue depressing
and releasing the dispenser lever (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.

NOTES:

■ The dispensing system will not operate when the refrigerator

door is open.

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

water.

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