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.
Electrical Requirements
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 qualied 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

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
■ 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.
■ 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.
WARNING
Explosion Hazard

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, qualied 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 rell
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,
qualied 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
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
you have selected.
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. Conrm 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.

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.
Removing and Replacing Ice Storage Bin
To Remove the Ice Storage Bin:
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.
1. Slide the ice bin into the guide rails located on either side of
the enclosure.
2. Push the ice bin in until resistance is felt. Raise the front
slightly and push the ice bin in until an audible “click” is heard.
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.
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 Water Dispenser
IMPORTANT: Dispense enough water every week to maintain a
fresh supply.
To Dispense Water:
1. Press a sturdy glass against the water dispenser lever.
2. Remove the glass to stop dispensing.
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.
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.
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.
The Dispenser Light
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.
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.
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.
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.
