IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury when using your refrigerator, follow these basic precautions:

• Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.

• Do not remove ground prong.

• Do not use an adapter.

• Do not use an extension cord.

• Disconnect power before servicing.

• Replace all parts and panels before operating.

• Remove doors from your old refrigerator.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

• Use nonflammable cleaner.

• Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as gasoline,
away from refrigerator.

• Use two or more people to move and install refrigerator.

• Disconnect power before installing ice maker (on ice maker
kit ready models only).

• Use a sturdy glass when dispensing ice (on some models).

• Do not hit the refrigerator glass doors (on some models).

Proper Disposal of Your Old Refrigerator

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." Ifyou are getting rid of
your old refrigerator, please follow these instructions to help

prevent accidents.

INSTALLATIONINSTRUCTIONS

Excessive Weight Hazard

Use two or more people to move and install
refrigerator.

Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.

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.

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.

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.

2

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.

Explosion Hazard

Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as
gasoline, away from refrigerator.

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

To ensure proper ventilation for your refrigerator, allow for a V2"
(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 33/4'' (9.5 cm) minimum space between the refrigerator and
wall to allow the door to swing open.

NOTE: It is recommended that you do not install the refrigerator
near an oven, radiator, or other heat source. Do not install the

refrigerator in a location where the temperature will fall below 55°F
(13°C).

i

/

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, cleaning, or

removing a light bulb, turn Cooling 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. See "Using the Controls."

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 • 1A"Nut driver

• 7A6"and V2" Open-end or two • _A" Drill bit
adjustable wrenches • Cordless drill

IMPO RTANT:

• All installations must meet local plumbing code requirements.

• Do not use a piercing-type or 3A6"(4.76 mm) saddle valve
which reduces water flow 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 filters, the disposable water filter
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. Ifyou have questions about your water
pressure, call a licensed, qualified 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).

pipe near the refrigerator.

IMPO RTAN1"."

• 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 V4"hole in the cold water pipe you
have selected.

IMPO RTANT:

Your refrigerator has two adjustable, front leveling screws -
one on each side of the refrigerator base. If your refrigerator

seems unsteady or you want the door to close easier, use the
instructions below.

Before moving the refrigerator, raise the leveling screws so the
front rollers are touching the floor.

1.

Remove the base grille. Grasp the grille firmly and pull it
toward you.

2. Raise or lower the cabinet.
Using a V4"hex driver, turn the leveling screw on each side to

raise or lower that side of the refrigerator.
NOTE: Having someone push against the top of the

refrigerator takes some weight off the leveling screws. This
makes it easier to turn the screws. It may take several turns of
the leveling screw to adjust the tilt of the refrigerator.

• To raise, turn the leveling screw clockwise.

• To lower, turn the leveling screw counterclockwise.

REFRIGERATORUSE

There are two refrigerator compartment doors. The doors can be
opened and closed either separately or together.

There is a vertically-hinged seal on the left refrigerator door.

• When the left side door is opened, the hinged seal
automatically folds inward so that it is out of the way.

• When both doors are closed, the hinged seal automatically
forms a seal between the two doors.

between adjustments.

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 asoftened 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 on top of the ice maker or in the ice

storage bin.

IMPORTANT:

After connecting the refrigerator to a water source, flush the
water system. Use a sturdy container to depress and hold the
water dispenser pad for 5 seconds, then release it for

5 seconds. Repeat until water begins to flow. Once water
begins to flow, continue depressing and releasing the
dispenser pad (5 seconds on, 5 seconds off) until a total of
4 gal. (15 L) has been dispensed. This will flush air from the

filter and water dispensing system, and prepare the water
filter for use. Additional flushing may be required in some
households. As air is cleared from the system, water may
spurt out of the dispenser.

NOTE: After five minutes of continuous dispensing, the
dispenser will stop dispensing water to avoid flooding. To
continue dispensing, remove the container and press the
dispensing lever again.

• The dispenser will dispense either water or cubed ice.

• Allow 24 hours for the refrigerator to cool down and chill

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 odor

buildup. Wipe up spills immediately.

IMPO RTAN1"."

Because air circulates between all compartments, any odors
formed in one compartment will transfer to the other. You must
thoroughly clean all compartments to eliminate odors. To
avoid odor transfer and drying out of food, wrap or cover

foods tightly.
Do not use abrasive or harsh cleaners such as window sprays,

scouring cleansers, flammable fluids, cleaning waxes,
concentrated detergents, nail polish remover, bleaches or

cleansers containing petroleum products. Do not use paper
towels, scouring pads, or other harsh cleaning tools that may
scratch or damage the materials.

First try the solutions suggested here or visit our website and reference FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)

to possibly avoid the cost of a service call.

In the U.S.A., www.whirlpool.com InCanada, www.whirlpool.ca

The refrigerator will not operate

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.

Power cord unplugged? Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
Is outlet working? Plug in a lamp to see ifthe outlet is

working.
Household fuse blown or circuit breaker tripped? Replace

the fuse or reset the circuit breaker. If the problem continues,
call an electrician.

Are controls on? Make sure the refrigerator controls are on.
See "Using the Control(s)."

New installation? Allow 24 hours following installation for the
refrigerator to cool completely.

NOTE: Adjusting the temperature controls to coldest setting
will not cool either compartment more quickly.

The refrigerator seems noisy

Refrigerator noise has been reduced over the years. Due to this
reduction, you may hear intermittent noises from your new
refrigerator that you did not notice from your old model. Below are

listed some normal sounds with explanations.

• Buzzing - heard when the water valve opens to fill the ice
maker

Pulsating - fans/compressor adjusting to optimize
performance

Hissing/Rattling - flow of refrigerant, movement of water
lines, or from items placed on top of the refrigerator

Sizzling/Gurgling - water dripping on the heater during
defrost cycle

Popping - contraction/expansion of inside walls, especially
during initial cool-down

Water running - may be heard when ice melts during the
defrost cycle and water runs into the drain pan

Creaking/Cracking - occurs as ice is being ejected from the
ice maker mold.

The doors will not close completely

• Door blocked open? Move food packages away from door.

• Bin or shelf in the way? Push bin or shelf back into the
correct position.

The doors are difficult to open

The motor seems to run too much

Your new refrigerator may run longer than your old one due to its
high-efficiency compressor and fans. The unit may run even

longer if the room is warm, a large food load is added, doors are
opened often, or if the doors have been left open.

12

Explosion Hazard

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

• Gaskets dirty or sticky? Clean gaskets and contact surfaces
with mild soap and warm water. Rinse and dry with soft cloth.

Importants renseignements a savoir au sujet des tablettes
et des couvercles en verre :

Ne pas nettoyer les tablettes ou couvercles en verre avec de
I'eau tiede quand ils sent froids. Les tablettes et les
couvercles peuvent se briser s'ils sent expos6s a des
changements soudains de temperature ou & un impact tel
que coup brusque. Le verre tremp_ est con£u pour 6clater
en d'innombrables pieces minuscules. Ceci est normal. Les

tablettes et les couvercles en verre sont Iourds. Les saisir
deux mains Iors de leur d_pose afin d'_viter de les faire

tomber.

Enl_vement des mat_riaux d'emballage

• Enlever tout residu de ruban adhesif et de colle des surfaces
du refrig6rateur avant de le mettre en marche. Frotter une
petite quantite de savon liquide pour la vaisselle sur I'adhesif

avec les doigts. Rincer & I'eau tiede et essuyer.
Ne pas utiliser d'instruments coupants, d'alcool &friction, de

liquides inflammables ou de nettoyants abrasifs pour enlever
le ruban adhesif ou la colle. Ces produits peuvent

endommager lasurface de votre refrig6rateur. Pour plus de
renseignements, voir "Securit6 du refrig6rateur".

• Jeter ou recycler tousles materiaux d'emballage.

D_placement de votre r6frig6rateur :
Votre refrig6rateur est Iourd. Lors du deplacement de votre

refrig6rateur pour le nettoyage ou un entretien ou reparation,
veiller & recouvrir le plancher avec du carton ou un panneau
de fibres dures pour eviter qu'il ne subisse tout dommage.
Toujours tirer le r6frigerateur tout droit Iors de son
deplacement. Ne pas incliner le refrig6rateur d'un c6te ou de
I'autre nile "faire marcher" en essayant de le deplacer car le
plancher pourrait _tre endommag&

Nettoyage avant I'utilisation

Apres avoir enleve tous les materiaux d'emballage, nettoyer
I'interieur du refrig6rateur avant de I'utiliser. Voir les instructions de

nettoyage dans "Entretien du refrig6rateur".

Risque d'explosion

Garder les mat_rJau× et les vapeurs inflammables, telle
que ressence, loin du r6frig6rateur.

Le non=respect de cette instruction peut causer
un d_c_s, une explosion ou un incendie.

Pour assurer une ventilation convenable a votre refrigerateur,
laisser un espace de 1/2,,(1,25 cm) au-dessus et de chaque c6te

du refrigerateur. Laisser un espace de 1" (2,54 cm) derriere le
refrigerateur. Si votre refrigerateur comporte une machine &
gla(;ons, s'assurer qu'un espace additionnel est prevu & I'arriere

pour permettre les connexions des conduits d'eau. En cas
d'installation du refrigerateur pres d'un mur fixe, laisser un
minimum de 33/4'' (9,5 cm) entre le refrigerateur et lemur pour
permettre I'ouverture de la porte.

Risque de choc _lectrique

Brancher sur une prise a 3 alv_oles reli_e a la terre.
Ne pas enlever la broche de liaison a la terre.

Ne pas utiliser un adaptateur.
Ne pas utiiser un c&ble de rallonge.

Le non=respect de ces instructions peut causer
un d_c_s, un incendie ou un choc _lectrique.

Avant de placer le refrigerateur & son emplacement final, il est
important de vous assurer d'avoir la connexion electrique

appropriee.
M_thode recommand_e de mise _ la terre

Une source d'alimentation de 115 volts, 60 Hz, type 15 ou
20 amperes CA seulement, protegee par fusibles et

adequatement mise a la terre est necessaire. II est recommande
d'utiliser un circuit distinct pour alimenter uniquement votre

Rassembler les outils et pieces necessaires avant de commencer
I'installation. Lire et suivre les instructions fournies avec les outils

indiques ici.
OUTILLAGE REQUlS :

• Tournevis & lame plate • Tourne-ecrou de _/4"

• Cles plates de 7_e"et V2"ou • Foret de V4"
deux cles & molette reglables • Perceuse sans fil

IMPORTANT :

• Toutes les installations doivent etre conformes aux exigences
des codes Iocaux de plomberie.

• Ne pas employer de robinet d'arret a etrier de 3/le"(4,76 mm)
ou de type & percer, ce qui reduit le debit d'eau et cause une
obstruction plus facilement.

• Utiliser un tube en cuivre et verifier I'absence de fuites.
Installer les tubes en cuivre seulement a des endroits oQla
temperature se maintient au-dessus du point de congelation.

• Pour les modeles avec filtre & eau, le filtre & eau jetable devrait
etre remplace au moins tous les 6 mois.

Pression de I'eau

Une alimentation en eau froide avec une pression entre 35 et
120 Ib/po _(241 et 827 kPa) est necessaire pour faire fonctionner
le distributeur d'eau et la machine & gla£;ons. Si vous avez des
questions au sujet de la pression de votre eau, appeler un

plombier qualifie agree.

Alimentation en eau par osmose inverse
IMPORTANT : La pression de I'alimentation en eau entre le

systeme d'osmose inverse et la valve d'arrivee d'eau du
refrigerateur dolt etre entre 35 et 120 Ib/po 2(241 et 827 kPa).

Si un systeme de purification de I'eau par osmose inverse est
raccorde &votre alimentation en eau froide, la pression de I'eau
au systeme dolt etre d'un minimum de 40 & 60 Ib/po 2(276 &

414 kPa).
Si la pression de I'eau au systeme d'osmose inverse est inferieure

40 a 60 Ib/po _(276 a 414 kPa) :

• Verifier pour voir si lefiltre a sediment du systeme d'osmose
inverse est bloque et le remplacer si necessaire.

• Laisser le reservoir du systeme d'osmose inverse se remplir
apres une utilisation intense.

Si votre refrigerateur a un filtre & eau, celui-ci peut red@re
encore plus la pression de I'eau Iorsqu'il est utilise avec un

systeme d'osmose inverse. Retirer le filtre & eau. Voir
"Systeme de filtration de I'eau".

Si vous avez des questions au sujet de la pression de votre eau,
appelez un plombier qualifie agree.

Lire toutes les instructions avant de commencer.
IMPORTANT : Si on dolt utiliser le refrigerateur avant qu'il soit

raccorde &la canalisation d'eau, placer la commande de la
machine a gla£:ons a la position OFF (arret).

Raccordement a une canalisation d'eau

1. Debrancher le refrigerateur ou deconnecter la source de
courant electrique.

2. FERMER le robinet principal d'arrivee d'eau. OUVRIR le
robinet de puisage le plus proche pendant une periode

suffisante pour que la canalisation d'eau se vide.

19

3= Trouver une canalisation d'eau froide verticale de 1/2"& 11/4"

(12,7 mm & 31,8 mm) pres du refrig6rateur.
IMPORTANT :

S'assurer qu'il s'agit d'un conduit d'eau froide.
Un conduit horizontal fonctionnera, mais le proced6

suivant dolt etre suivi : percer par le dessus de la
canalisation et non pas par le dessous. Ainsi, I'eau ne
risquera pas d'arroser la perceuse. Ceci empeche
egalement les sediments qu'on trouve normalement dans

I'eau de s'accumuler dans le robinet.

4. Pour determiner la Iongueur du tube en cuivre, il faut mesurer
la distance entre le point de connexion au bas du c6te arriere
droit du refrigerateur et le tuyau d'arrivee d'eau. Ajouter une

Iongueur de 7 pi (2,1 m) pour permettre le deplacement du
refrigerateur pour le nettoyage. Utiliser un tube en cuivre de
1/4"(6,35 mm) de diametre exterieur. Veiller &ce que le tube
soit coupe d'equerre aux deux extremites.

5. A I'aide d'une perceuse sans ill, percer un trou de 1/4"dans le
tuyau de canalisation d'eau froide choisie.
