SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

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

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.

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. For more information, see “Refrigerator Safety.”

■ Dispose of/recycle all packaging materials.

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.”

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.

When Moving Your Refrigerator:

Your refrigerator is heavy. When moving the refrigerator for cleaning or service, be sure to cover the oor with cardboard or hardboard to avoid oor damage. Always pull the refrigerator straight out when moving it. Do not wiggle or “walk” the refrigerator when trying to move it, as oor damage could occur.

Location Requirements

Electrical 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 appliance is intended to be used in household and similar applications such as:

■ Staff kitchen areas in shops, ofces 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) 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 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.

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.

If the supply cord is damaged it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent or 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.

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 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 nished, 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:

1/2" (1.25 cm)

■ Flat-blade screwdriver

■ 7/16" and 1/2" Open-end or

two adjustable wrenches

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.

■ 1/4" Nut driver

■ 1/4" Drill bit

■ Cordless drill

IMPORTANT:

■ Connect to a portable water supply only.

■ All installations must meet local plumbing code requirements.

33⁄4" (9.5 cm)

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

which reduces water ow 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 lters, the disposable water lter

should be replaced at least every 6 months.

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, qualied 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 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).

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 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 usage.

■ 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.”

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 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

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

you have selected.

D E

A. Cold water pipe B. Pipe clamp C. Copper tubing D. Compression nut

E. Compression sleeve F. Shutoff valve G. Packing nut

6. Fasten the shutoff valve to the cold water pipe with the pipe

clamp. Be sure the outlet end is solidly in the 1/4" drilled hole in the water pipe and that the washer is under the pipe clamp. Tighten the packing nut. Tighten the pipe clamp screws slowly and evenly so the washer makes a watertight seal. Do not overtighten.

7. Slip the compression sleeve and compression nut on the

copper tubing as shown. Insert the end of the tubing into the outlet end squarely as far as it will go. Screw compression nut onto outlet end with adjustable wrench. Do not overtighten or you may crush the copper tubing.

8. Place the free end of the tubing in a container or sink, and

turn 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. Remove plastic cap from water valve inlet port. Attach the

copper tube to the valve inlet using a compression nut and sleeve as shown. Tighten the compression nut. Do not overtighten. Conrm copper tubing is secure by pulling on copper tubing.

2. Create a service loop with the copper tubing. Avoid kinks

when coiling the copper tubing. Secure copper tubing to refrigerator cabinet with a “P” clamp.

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.

A. Copper tubing B. “P” clamp

C. Compression nut D. Compression sleeve

3. Turn on water supply to refrigerator and check for leaks.

Correct any leaks.

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 rst batch of ice. Discard the

rst 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 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 in the ice storage bin.

Turning the Ice Maker On/Off

The ice maker has an automatic shutoff. When the ice maker is ON, sensors will automatically stop ice production when the storage bin is full. The ice maker will remain set to ON, and ice production will resume when the bin is no longer full.

To manually turn off the ice maker, press TEMP and POWERCOLD at the same time and hold for 3 seconds until the “Ice Maker Off” icon lights up. When the ice maker is set to OFF, it will stop producing ice.

Pressing and holding TEMP and POWERCOLD again for 3 seconds turns on the ice maker and the “Ice Maker Off” icon disappears.

1. Hold the base of the storage bin and press the release button

on the lower right.

2. Pull out the storage bin. To Replace the Ice Storage Bin: IMPORTANT: It may be necessary to turn the auger driver, behind

the ice bin, counterclockwise to properly align the ice bin with the auger driver. The ice storage bin must be locked in place for proper ice dispensing.

Water and Ice Dispensers

IMPORTANT: After connecting the refrigerator to a water source

or replacing the water lter, ush the water system. Use a sturdy container to depress and hold the water dispenser lever for 5 seconds, and then release it for 5 seconds. Repeat until water begins to ow. Once water begins to ow, 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 ush air from the lter and water dispensing system and prepare the water lter for use. Additional ushing 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 rst batch of ice. Discard the

rst three batches of ice produced.

■ The display screen on the dispenser control panel will turn

off automatically and enter “sleep” mode when the control buttons and dispenser levers have not been used for 2 minutes or more. While in “sleep” mode, the rst press of a control button will only reactivate the display screen without changing any settings. After reactivation, changes to any settings can then be made. If no changes are made within 2 minutes, the display will re-enter “sleep” mode.

The Ice Dispenser

Ice dispenses from the ice maker storage bin in the freezer when the dispenser lever is pressed. To turn off the ice maker, see “Ice Maker and Storage Bin.”

Your ice maker can produce both crushed and cubed ice. Before dispensing ice, select which type of ice you prefer by pressing the Ice Type button.

The display screen indicates which type of ice is selected.

CRUSHED

CUBED

For crushed ice, cubes are crushed before being dispensed. This may cause a slight delay when dispensing crushed ice. Noise from the ice crusher is normal and pieces of ice may vary in size. When changing from crushed to cubed, a few ounces of crushed ice will be dispensed along with the rst cubes.

To Dispense Ice:

1. Make sure the desired type of ice is selected. To switch

between cubed and crushed, press ICE TYPE.

When you use the dispenser, the light will automatically turn on. If you want the light to be on continuously, you may choose either ON or DIM. The display screen indicates which mode is selected.

DIM

ON: Press LIGHT to turn the dispenser light on. DIM: Press LIGHT a second time to select DIM mode. The

dispenser light will remain ON, but at a lower intensity. OFF: Press LIGHT a third time to turn the dispenser light off. The dispenser lights are LEDs that cannot be changed. If

it appears that your dispenser lights are not working, see “Troubleshooting” for more information.

The Dispenser Lock

The dispenser can be turned off 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, to the ice maker, or to the dispenser light. It simply deactivates the controls and dispenser levers. To turn off the ice maker, see “Ice Maker and Storage Bin.”

■ Press and hold LOCK for 3 seconds to lock the dispenser.

■ Press and hold LOCK for 3 seconds, a second time to unlock

the dispenser.

The display screen indicates when the dispenser is locked.

WARNING

Cut Hazard

Use a sturdy glass when dispensing ice.

Failure to do so can result in cuts.

2. Press a sturdy glass against the ice dispenser lever. Hold

the glass close to the dispenser opening so ice does not fall outside of the glass.

IMPORTANT: You do not need to apply a lot of pressure to the lever in order to activate the ice dispenser. Pressing hard will not make the ice dispense faster or in greater quantities.

3. Remove the glass to stop dispensing. NOTE: Ice may continue to dispense for up to 10 seconds

after removing the glass from the lever. The dispenser may continue to make noise for a few seconds after dispensing.

Water Filtration System

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

Water Filter Status Light

When a water lter has been installed in the refrigerator, the water lter status lights help you know when to change your water lter.

■ The water lter status icon changes will change from Normal

(blue water) to Order (red waves) and “Order Filter” (orange) when 90% of the volume of water for which the lter is rated has passed through the lter OR 5 months have passed since the lter was installed.

■ The “Replace Filter” (red) icon will illuminate and blink

continuously during dispensing when the rated volume of water has passed through the lter OR 6 months have passed since the lter was installed. A new water lter should be installed immediately when the Replace light is illuminated.

■ After 14 days at Replace Filter stage, the “Replace Filter” and

“water” icons will glow (red) at all times and blink continuously during dispensing. Also, an alert chime will sound three times following dispensing.
