E×plosion Hazard

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

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

NOTES:

• The cabinet depth refrigerator can be installed into a recessed opening, at the end of cabinets or as a freestanding

refrigerator. If you are installing the refrigerator to fit flush with the front of

the base cabinets, all shoe molding and baseboards must be removed from the rear of the refrigerator opening. Allow for

1" (2.54 cm) of space behind the refrigerator.

• Location should permit doors to open fully. See the "Door Swing Dimensions" section.

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.

• Floor must support refrigerator weight (more than 600 Ibs [272 kg], door panels and contents).

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. IMPORTANT: If this product is connected to a GFCI (Ground Fault

Circuit Interrupter) protected outlet, nuisance tripping of the power supply may occur, resulting in loss of cooling. Food quality and flavor may be affected. If nuisance tripping has occurred, and

if the condition of the food appears poor, dispose of it. NOTE: Before performing any type of installation, cleaning, or

removing a light bulb, 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 reset the control (Thermostat, Refrigerator or Freezer Control depending on the model) to the desired setting.

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, 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 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 Use & Care Guide.

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

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.

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

• 7/le"and W' Open-end or two • V4"Drill bit adjustable wrenches

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 34e" (4.76 mm) saddle valve which reduces water flow and clogs more easily.

IM PORTANT:

• 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.

• Cordless drill

Remove the Packaging

Dispose of/recycle all packaging materials. 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.

IMPORTANT:

• Use W' socket wrench to remove skids (socket extension is recommended).

• All four leveling legs must contact the floor to support and stabilize the full weight of the refrigerator.

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

Weight Limits

After you remove all of the package materials, clean the inside of your refrigerator before using it. See the cleaning instructions in

the Use & Care Guide or User Instructions.

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.

(o_ some modes}

Custom door panels allow you to blend the exterior of your refrigerator into the overall kitchen decor. If you plan to install custom wood panels, you will need to create the panels yourself or consult a qualified cabinetmaker or carpenter. Follow these

panel dimension and placement instructions to be sure that the custom panels will fit properly.

The custom panels must have backer panels attached in order to mount them to the refrigerator. It is most common to work with

three panels, as shown in the following graphic: a 3/4"(19.05 mm) decorative panel, a ½6" (1.59 mm) spacer panel or spacer strips, and a 1/4"(6.35 mm) backer panel.

Decorative Panel

Spacer Panel I

Spacer Panel

IMPORTANT: Panels weighing more than the recommended weight may cause damage to your refrigerator.

• The weight of the freezer door panel(s) cannot exceed 25 Ibs (11.3 kg).

• The weight of the refrigerator door panel(s) cannot exceed 41 Ibs (18.6 kg).

To minimize panel weight, you may use 2" (5.08 cm) spacer strips around the perimeter in place of solid full-sheet spacer panels. The spacer strips must be set in at least 1" (2.54 cm) from the top,

bottom and side edges of the backer panel. If you use spacer strips, it is also recommended that you use two horizontally-centered 2" (5.08 cm) strips for added support.

After installing the custom door panels, snap the dispenser frame onto the freezer door as shown.

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

W10267701 RP (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

• 7/le"and V2" open-end wrenches or two adjustable wrenches

• V4"nut driver

Connect to Water Line

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.

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 in the 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 in the cold water pipe you have selected.

Please read before using the water system. Immediately after installation, follow the steps below to make sure

that the water system is properly cleaned.

1. Open the freezer door and turn off the ice maker. The On/Off switch can only be accessed when the ice storage bin has been removed. The switch is located on the freezer door, on the left side of the wall that surrounds the ice storage bin. Move the switch to the OFF (right) setting.

2. Make sure the water filter is properly installed.

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.

3. Flush the water system. Use a sturdy container to depress and hold the water dispenser lever 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 lever (5 seconds on, 5 seconds off) until a total of

3 gal. (12 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.

4. Open the freezer door and turn on the ice maker. Move the switch to the ON (left) position. See the Use & Care Guide or User Instructions for further instructions on the operation of your ice maker.

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

Your refrigerator has two adjustable front feet -- one on the right and one on the left. In most cases, the refrigerator should be steady when both feet are touching the floor. Ifyour 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. Open both doors to 90°. Remove the base grille by removing the two screws,

then pulling out on the outside corners.

NOTE: The doors must only be opened to 90°. If they are opened all the way, the base grille will not come off.

The two leveling feet are located on the brackets on each side of the product.

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

NOTE: Having someone push against the top of the refrigerator takes some weight off the leveling feet. This makes it easier to

make adjustments.

3. Use a 1/4"open-ended or adjustable wrench to adjust the leveling feet. Turn the leveling foot to the left to raise that side of the product, or turn it to the right to lower that side of the

product.

4. 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 the leveling feet to the left. It may take several more

turns, and you should turn both leveling feet the same amount.

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.
