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 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.
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.
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.

Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
IMPORTANT: This refrigerator is designed for indoor, household use only.
To ensure proper ventilation for your refrigerator, allow for a ¹⁄ " (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⁄ " (9.5 cm) minimum space between the refrigerator and wall to allow the door to swing open.
8
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.
¹⁄ " (1.25 cm)
3³⁄ " (9.5 cm)
Electrical Requirements
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 final location, it is important to make sure you have the proper electrical connection.
Recommended Grounding Method
A 115 volt, 60 Hz, AC only 15or 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 Cooling OFF, and then disconnect the refrigerator from the electrical source. When you have finished, reconnect the refrigerator to the electrical source and turn Cooling ON. See “Using the Control(s).”
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, qualified plumber.
NOTE: If the water pressure is less than what is required, the flow 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 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).
■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 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 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.
TOOLS NEEDED:
Gather the required tools and parts before starting installation.
■Flat-blade screwdriver
■⁄" and ¹⁄" open-end wrenches or two adjustable wrenches
■¹⁄" nut driver
NOTE: Do not use a piercing-type or ³⁄" (4.76 mm) saddle valve which reduces water flow and clogs easier.

Connect to Water Line
IMPORTANT: If you turn the refrigerator on before the water is connected, turn the ice maker OFF.
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 shutoff valve or the equivalent, served by a ¹⁄ " household supply line.
NOTE: To allow sufficient water flow to the refrigerator, a minimum ¹⁄ " size household supply line is recommended.

3.Using the ¹⁄ " hex nut driver, lower the brake feet. Turn them clockwise, until the rollers are off the floor and both brake feet are snug against the floor. This keeps the refrigerator from rolling forward when opening the refrigerator doors or freezer drawer.
IMPORTANT: If you need to make further adjustments involving the brake feet, you must turn both brake feet the same amount to keep the refrigerator level.
4.Make sure the doors close easily. If you are satisfied with the door opening and closing, skip the next section and go to “Align the Doors.” If, however, the doors do not close easily or the doors pop open, adjust the tilt.
To Adjust the Cabinet Tilt:
■Open the freezer drawer. Use a ¹⁄ " hex nut driver to turn both brake feet clockwise the same amount. This will raise the front of the refrigerator. It may take several turns to allow the doors to close easier.
NOTE: Having someone push against the top of the refrigerator takes some weight off the brake feet. This makes it easier to turn them.

To raise the door, turn the hex key to the right. To lower the door, turn the hex key to the left.
■Continue to turn the alignment screw until the doors are aligned.
6.Make sure the refrigerator is steady. If the refrigerator seems unsteady or rolls forward when a door or drawer is pulled open, adjust the brake feet.
To Steady the Refrigerator:
■Open the freezer drawer. Using a ¹⁄ " hex driver, turn both brake feet clockwise the same amount until the brake feet are snug against the floor. Check again. If not satisfied, continue to adjust the brake feet by half turns of the screw until the refrigerator does not roll forward when the drawer is opened.
NOTE: Having someone push against the top of the refrigerator takes some weight off the brake feet. This makes it easier to turn the screws.
7.Replace the base grille by aligning the ends of the grille with the leveling assemblies on each side and snapping the grille into place.

Water and Ice Dispensers
IMPORTANT:
■Allow 3 hours for the refrigerator to cool down and chill water.
■Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice. Discard the first three batches of ice produced. Allow 2 to 3 days for the storage bin to fill completely following installation.
■The dispensing system will not operate when either refrigerator door or the freezer drawer is open.
Flush the Water System
Air in the water dispensing system can cause the water dispenser to drip. After connecting the refrigerator to a water source or replacing the water filter, flush the water system.
Flushing the water dispensing system, forces air from the water line and filter and prepares the water filter for use. Additional flushing may be required in some households.
NOTE: As air is cleared from the system, water may spurt out of the dispenser.
1.Using a sturdy container, depress and hold the water dispenser pad for 5 seconds.
2.Release the dispenser pad for 5 seconds. Repeat steps 1 and 2 until water begins to flow.
3.Once water begins to flow, continue depressing and releasing the dispenser pad (5 seconds on, 5 seconds off) until a total of 3 gal. (12 L) has been dispensed.
The Water Dispenser
IMPORTANT:
■Dispense at least 1 qt (1 L) of water every week to maintain a fresh supply.
■If the flow of water from the dispenser decreases, it could be caused by low water pressure.
To check water pressure:
■With the water filter removed, dispense 1 cup of water. If 1 cup 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 of water, the water pressure to the refrigerator is lower than recommended. See “Water Supply Requirements” and “Troubleshooting” for suggestions.
The Ice Dispenser
Ice dispenses from the ice maker storage bin. To turn off the ice maker, see “Ice Maker and Storage Bin.”
The dispenser may continue to make noise and ice may continue to dispense for several seconds after releasing the dispenser button or pad.
IMPORTANT: If the ice cubes are hollow or have an irregular shape, it could be because of low water pressure. See “Water Supply Requirements.”
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.
19
■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 dry thoroughly.
Dispensing
IMPORTANT:
■Hold the glass close to the dispenser opening so water or ice will fall into the glass.
■You do not need to apply a lot of pressure to the button or pad to activate the dispenser. Pressing hard will not make water or ice dispense faster or in greater quantities.
Press SELECT to toggle through the following choices in a continuous loop. The icons on the display indicate your selection.
■Water (default) - Dispenses water
■Crushed Ice - Dispenses crushed ice
NOTE: 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.
■Cubed Ice - Dispenses cubed ice.
NOTE: When changing from crushed to cubed, a few ounces of crushed ice will be dispensed along with the first cubes.

■To Lock/Unlock the dispenser, press and hold LIGHT for 3 seconds. “Dispenser Locked” will appear on the display.
Ice Maker and Ice Storage Bin
(on some models)
IMPORTANT: To avoid low ice production and poor quality ice, flush the water system before turning on the ice maker. See “Water Dispenser.”
■Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice. Discard the first three batches of ice produced. Allow 2 to 3 days for the storage bin to fill completely following installation.
■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. 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.
