Failure to do so can result in death or brain damage.

Before You Throw Away Your Old Refrigerator or Freezer:

• Takeoff the doors.

• Leave the shelves in place so that children may not easily

climb inside.

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." Ifyou are getting rid of

your old refrigerator, please follow these instructions to help

prevent accidents.

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.

INSTALLATIONINSTRUCTIONS

Excessive Weight Hazard

Use two or more people to move and install

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death,

fire, or electrical shock.

8. Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.

Leveling and Door Closing

Your refrigerator has two front adjustable rollers -- one on the

right and one on the left. If your refrigerator seems unsteady or if

you want the doors to close more easily, adjust the refrigerator's

tilt using the instructions below:

1. Move the refrigerator into its final location.

2. Remove the base grille to locate the two leveling screws,

which are part of the front roller assemblies on each side.

See Graphic 8.

NOTE: Having someone push against the top of the refrigerator

takes some weight off the leveling screws and rollers. This makes

it easier to adjust the screws.

3. Use a 1/2"hex-head socket wrench to adjust the leveling

screws. Turn the leveling screw to the right to raise that side of

the refrigerator or turn the leveling screw to the left to lower

that side. It may take several turns of the leveling screws to

adjust the tilt of the refrigerator. See Graphic 8.

Open both doors again and check that they close as easily as

you like. If not, tilt the refrigerator slightly more to the rear by

turning both leveling screws to the right. It may take several

more turns, and you should turn both leveling screws the

same amount.

5. Use a bubble level to check the leveling of the refrigerator.

NOTE: Whenever you need to move the refrigerator, turn the

leveling feet to the right until they are no longer touching the

ground. This will allow the refrigerator to roll more easily.

Door Alignment

A refrigerator that is not level from side-to-side may appear to

have doors that are not properly aligned. If the doors appear this

way, use the instructions in the previous section to check the

leveling.

The doors are designed to be slightly different heights when the

refrigerator is empty, in order to account for the weight of food

that will be placed on the doors. If the doors are still not aligned

after checking the leveling and loading the refrigerator with food,

follow the steps below to adjust the door alignment.

1. Locate the alignment screw on the bottom hinge of the

refrigerator door. See Graphic 9.

2. Use a 5Ae"wrench to turn the screw. To raise the refrigerator

door, turn the screw to the right. To lower the door, turn the

screw to the left.

3. Check that the doors are even at the top and bottom. If

necessary, continue to turn the alignment screw until the

doors are aligned.

4. Replace the base grille.

NOTE: Be sure to refasten the Tech Sheet behind the base grille.

PARTS INCLUDED: Door handles (2), 1/8"hex key, spare

setscrew(s)

To Install the Handles:

NOTE: The handle mounting setscrews are preinstalled in the

handle.

1. Remove the handles, which are packed inside the refrigerator.

NOTE: To avoid scratching the finish, place the handles on a

towel or other soft surface.

2. Open the freezer door. On the refrigerator door, place the

handle on the shoulder screws with the setscrews facing the

freezer.

While holding the handle, insert the short end of the hex key

into the upper hole and slightly rotate the hex key until it is

engaged in the setscrew.

Using a clockwise motion, tighten the setscrew until it begins

to contact the shoulder screw.

Repeat steps 4 and 5 to begin fastening the lower setscrew.

Once both setscrews have been partially tightened as outlined

in the previous steps, fully tighten both the upper and lower

setscrews.

IMPORTANT: When the screws feel tight, tighten them an

additional quarter-turn. The handle is not properly installed

without this extra tightening.

Open the refrigerator door and close the freezer door. Repeat

steps 2 through 7 to install the other handle onto the freezer

door with the setscrews facing the refrigerator.

Save the hex key and all instructions.

Remove the Handles:

While holding the handle, insert the short end of the hex key

into the lower setscrew hole and slightly rotate the hex key

until it is engaged in the setscrew.

Using a counterclockwise motion, loosen the setscrew a

quarter-turn at a time.

Repeat steps 1 and 2 for the upper setscrew. Gently pull the

handle away from the door.

If necessary, use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the shoulder

screws from the door.

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 W'

(1.27 cm) of space on each side and at the top. Allow for 2"

(5.08 cm) of 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 2" (5.08 cm) minimum space on each side (depending on

your model) to allow the doors to swing open.

V2" (1.27

__J

/'i

2" (5.08 cm)!

NOTES:

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.

Normal minimum cabinet cut-out width required for product

installation is 36" (91.44 cm). However, if the product is placed

against an extended wall and the ability to remove the crisper

pans is desired, an additional 18" (45.72 cm) of cabinet width

is required, so a total cabinet opening width of 54"

(137.16 cm)is recommended.

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, 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.

%£Jat8Ss! y eq

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 • V4"nut driver

• 7Ae"and V2"open-end or • %" drill bit

two adjustable wrenches • Cordless drill

NOTE: Your refrigerator dealer has a kit available with a V4"

(6.35 mm) saddle-type shutoff valve, a union, and copper tubing.

Before purchasing, make sure a saddle-type valve complies with

your local plumbing codes. Do not use a piercing-type or 3Ae"

(4.76 mm) saddle valve which reduces water flow and clogs more

easily.

IMPORTANT:

• All installations must meet local plumbing code requirements.

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

only in areas where the household temperatures will remain

above freezing.

Water Pressure Connect to Water Line

A cold water supply with water pressure of between 30 and

120 psi (207 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.

• If your refrigerator has a water dispenser: After installation is

complete, use the water dispenser to check the water

pressure.

With the water filter removed, dispense 1 cup (237 mL) 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 "Problem Solver" for suggestions.

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 30 and 120 psi (207 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" in the User Instructions, User Guide, or Use & Care

Guide.

If you have questions about your water pressure, call a licensed,

qualified plumber.

Read all directions before you begin.

IM PORTANI"."

• 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 oft-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

• 7Ae"and 1/2"open-end wrenches or two adjustable wrenches

• 1/4"nut driver

IMPORTANT: If you turn the refrigerator on before the water line is

connected, turn the ice maker OFE

Style 1 (Recommended)

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

1/2"copper household supply line.

NOTE: To allow sufficient water flow to the refrigerator, a

minimum 1/2"size copper household supply line is

recommended.

A. Bulb

B. Nut

I/ I

C. Copper tubing (to refrigerator)

D. Household supply fine (Y2"minimum)

Now you are ready to connect the copper tubing to the shutoff

valve. Use 1/4"(6.35 mm) OD soft copper tubing to connect the

shutoff valve and the refrigerator.

• Ensure that you have the proper length needed for the job.

Be sure both ends of the copper tubing are cut square.

Slip compression sleeve and compression nut onto

copper tubing as shown. Insert end of tubing into outlet

end squarely as far as it will go. Screw compression nut

onto outlet end with adjustable wrench. Do not

overtighten.

clear. Turn off shutoff valve on the water pipe.

NOTE: Always drain the water line before making the final

connection to the inlet of the water valve, to avoid possible

water valve malfunction.

Bend the copper tubing to meet the water line inlet, which is

located on the back of the refrigerator cabinet as shown.

Leave a coil of copper tubing to allow the refrigerator to be

pulled out of the cabinet or away from the wall for service.

Style 2

1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.

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

enough to clear line of water.

3. Locate a 1/2"(1.27 cm) to 11/4'' (3.18 cm) vertical cold water

pipe near the refrigerator.

IMPORTANT:

• Make sure it is a cold water pipe.

• Horizontal pipe will work, but drill on the top side of the

pipe, not the bottom. This will help keep water away from

the drill and normal sediment from collecting inthe valve.

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

from the connection on the lower rear corner of 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"(6.35 mm) hole inthe cold

water pipe you have selected.

A. Cold water pipe

B. Pipe clamp

C. Copper tubing

D. Compression nut

E. Compression sleeve

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.

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 lever for 5 seconds, then release it for 5 seconds.

2. Repeat Step 1 until water begins to flow.

3. Once water begins to flow, continue depressing and releasing

the dispenser lever (5 seconds on, 5 seconds off) until a total

of 3 gal. (12 L) has been dispensed.

Additional flushing may be required in some households.

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.

With the water filter removed, dispense 1 cup (237 mL) 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" or

"Problem Solver" for suggestions.

To Dispense Water:

1. Press ICE/WATER until "water" is selected, as shown on the

display screen.

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

glass close to the water dispenser spout to ensure that the

water dispenses into the glass.

A. Water dispenser spout

3. Remove the glass to stop dispensing.

IMPORTANT: The small tray at the bottom of the dispenser is

designed to catch small spills and allow for easy cleaning. There is

no drain in the tray. To empty and clean the tray, push down on

the back of the removable tray lid and pull it out.

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/WATER 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 insize.

When changing from crushed to cubed, a few ounces of crushed

ice will be dispensed along with the first cubes.

To Dispense Ice:

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

Cut Hazard

Use a sturdy glass when dispensing ice.

Failure to do so can result in cuts.

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

glass close to the ice guide to ensure that the ice dispenses

into the glass.

A. Ice guide

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.

Remove the glass to stop dispensing.

NOTE: Ice may continue to dispense for several 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, press LIGHT. The

display screen indicates when the light is set to stay on.

• Press LIGHT again 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 "Problem

Solver" for more information.

The DispenserLock

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 lever. 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 a second time to unlock the dispenser.

The display screen indicates when the dispenser is locked.

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

first three batches of ice produced.

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 storage

bin. This can cause damage to the ice container and the

dispenser mechanism.

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

storage bin.

Turning the Ice Maker On/Off Changing the Water Filter

• To turn on the ice maker, lift open the ice maker door and

lower the wire shutoff arm to the ON position.

• To manually turn off the ice maker, lift the wire shutoff arm to

the OFF (arm up) position and listen for the click. Ice can still

be dispensed, but no more can be made.

NOTE: Your ice maker has an automatic shutoff. As ice is made,

the ice cubes will fill the ice storage bin, and the ice cubes will

raise the wire shutoff arm to the OFF (arm up) position. Do not

force the wire shutoff arm up or down.

Removing and Replacing the Ice Storage Bin

1. Lift and hold open the ice maker door.

2. Lift the wire shutoff arm so it clicks into the OFF (up) position.

Release the ice maker door.

3. Lift up the front of the storage bin and pull it out.

Replace the bin by pushing it in all the way, or the dispenser

will not work.

To restart ice production, lift open the ice maker door and

push the wire shutoff arm down to the ON position.

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.

Water Filter Status Light

The filter status light will help you know when to change your

water filter. Depending on your model, the status light will appear

as one of the following icons:

Style 1: Style 2: Style 3:

The light will appear in yellow on the dispenser display screen

when it is almost time to change the filter.

It is recommended that you replace the filter when the status

light changes to red OR water flow to your water dispenser or

ice maker decreases noticeably.

NOTE: The filter should be replaced at least every 6 months,

depending on your water quality and usage.

Resetting the Filter Status

REFRIGERATORCARE

Explosion Hazard

Use nonflammable cleaner.

Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.

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.

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. See the "Door Removal"

instructions, either in the User Instructions or the

Installation Instructions and Owner's Manual, or inthe

separate instruction sheet provided with your refrigerator.

• 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.

compartment (refrigerator or freezer) more quickly.

Motor seems to

run too much

Your new refrigerator has an energy-efficient motor - The refrigerator may run longer than

you're used to, because the compressor and fans operate at lower speeds that are more

energy-efficient. This is normal.

NOTE: Your refrigerator may run even longer if the room is warm, a large load of food is added,

the doors are opened often, or ifa door has been left open.

GENERAL OPERATION Possible Causes and/or Recommended Solutions

Refrigerator seems noisy The compressor inyour new refrigerator regulates temperature more efficiently and uses less energy

than older models. During various stages of operation, you may hear normal operating sounds that

are unfamiliar.

The following noises are normal:

• Buzzing/Clicking - Heard when the water valve opens and closes to dispense water or fill the ice

maker. If the refrigerator is connected to a water line, this is normal. If the refrigerator is not

connected to a water line, turn off the ice maker.

• Cracking/Crashing - Heard when ice is ejected from the ice maker mold.

• Popping - Heard when the inside walls contract/expand, especially during initial cooldown.

• Pulsating/Whirring - Heard when the fans/compressor adjust to optimize performance during

normal operation.

• Rattling - Heard when water passes through the water line, or due to the flow of refrigerant.

Rattling may also come from items placed on top of the refrigerator.

• Water running or gurgling - Heard when ice melts during the defrost cycle and water runs into

the drain pan.

• Sizzling - Heard when water drips onto the heater during the defrost cycle.

Temperature is too warm New installation - Following installation, allow 24 hours for the refrigerator and freezer to cool

completely.

NOTE: Adjusting the temperature control(s) to the coldest setting will not cool either

compartment (refrigerator or freezer) more quickly.

Doors are opened often or not closed completely - This allows warm air to enter the

refrigerator. Minimize door openings, keep the doors fully closed, and make sure both doors are

properly sealed.

Air vents are blocked - Remove items that are immediately in front of the vents.

Large amount of warm food recently added - Allow several hours for the refrigerator to return

to its normal temperature.

Controls are not set correctly for the surrounding conditions - Adjust the controls to a colder

setting. Check the temperature again in 24 hours.

Temperature is too cold Controls are not set correctly for the surrounding conditions - Adjust the controls to a

warmer setting. Check the temperature again in 24 hours.

Top refrigerator shelf is colder than lower shelves - On some models, air from the freezer

enters the refrigerator compartment through vents near the top refrigerator shelf. As a result, the

top shelf can be slightly colder than lower shelves.

• Air vents are blocked - Remove items that are immediately in front of the vents.

Interior moisture buildup NOTE: Some moisture buildup is normal. Clean with a soft dry cloth.

• Room is humid - A humid environment contributes to moisture buildup. Use the refrigerator only

in an indoor location, with as little humidity as possible.

• Doors are opened often or not closed completely - This allows humid air to enter the

refrigerator. Minimize door openings, keep the doors fully closed, and make sure both doors are

properly sealed.
