■ Take off the doors.

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

climb inside.

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.

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 packing materials. 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.”

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.

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.

Door Removal, Leveling, and Alignment

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.

Before you move your refrigerator into its nal location, it is important to make sure you have the proper electrical connection.

Recommended Grounding Method

A 115 V, 60 Hz, AC only, 15 A 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 or cleaning, or removing a light bulb, disconnect the refrigerator from the electrical source. When you are nished, reconnect the refrigerator to the electrical source and reset the control (Thermostat, Refrigerator or Freezer Control depending on the model) to the desired setting. See the “Using the Controls” section in the User Instructions, User Guide, or Use and Care Guide.

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

■ 1/4" nut driver

■ 1/4" drill bit

■ Cordless drill

NOTE: Your refrigerator dealer has a kit available with a 1/4" (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 3/16" (4.76 mm) saddle valve which reduces water ow and clogs more easily.

IMPORTANT:

A B

B CA

■ 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

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, qualied plumber.

■ If your refrigerator has a water dispenser: After installation

is complete, use the water dispenser to check the water pressure.

■ With the water lter 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 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” in the User Instructions, User Guide, or Use & Care Guide.

If you have questions about your water pressure, call a licensed, qualied plumber.

Connect Water Supply

Read all directions before you begin.

IMPORTANT:

■ Connect to potable water supply only.

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.

If plastic tubing is used instead of copper, we recommend the following Whirlpool Part Numbers:

W10505928RP (7 ft [2.14 m] jacketed plastic), 8212547RP (5 ft [1.52 m] plastic), or W10267701RP (25 ft [7.62 m] plastic).

■ 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

■ 7⁄16" and 1/2" open-end wrenches or two adjustable

wrenches

■ 1/4" nut driver
