What’s New Behind the Doors?

Your Whirlpool® Door-within-Door French Door Refrigerator comes equipped with various

innovative storage and energy-efﬁcient features.

Door-within-Door

Featuring a designated cool area for drinks, this feature lets you have instant access to your favorite foods and drinks without having to open the entire refrigerator. Use the hidden latch to open the door-within-door and get instant access to the gallon door bin and your cold beverages.

Energy and Normal Operating Sounds

Your new Door-within-Door French Door Refrigerator has been designed with a Linear Compressor to optimize energy efciency and better regulate temperatures to match cooling demand. This allows the refrigerator to respond at variable speeds and optimize cooling needs by avoiding abrupt start/stop cycles. You may notice that it operates differently than your previously owned refrigerator.

Cold Space

Keeps your drinks at the right temperature with active cooling. Air from the refrigerator compartment is channeled to a vent in the lower door bin.

Freeze Shield

This feature minimizes moisture migration from frozen food. This in turn reduces the freezer burn occurrence. To turn on the Freeze Shield mode, toggle to the coldest freezer temperature set point. To turn off the Freeze Shield mode, toggle from the coldest freezer set point to any other temperature. This feature will also turn on when the freezer reaches the ice-making temperature.

Innity Slide Shelf

Your new Innity Slide Shelf or shelves (on some models) is designed to maximize accessibility to items of all shapes and sizes. Small items t perfectly around the shelf perimeter and remain accessible, while tall items nestle perfectly in the center when the glass is pushed back. And, with the Innity Slide Shelf, you don’t lose an entire half shelf to tall item storage. Just push the glass portion back as far as you need to accommodate tall items – innite adjustability.

Platter Pocket

This full-width slide-out shelf tucked between the crispers and the lowest shelf is perfect for leftover family-sized casserole dishes, pizza boxes, and large party platters.

Triple-tier freezer storage (on some models)

A drawer system that organizes items on three levels making them easier to store and nd. The lower drawer includes a divider. There’s also an in-door pizza pocket, a pull-out drawer for smaller items, and third level glass shelf for small, at items.

Adjustable Shelves on Flipper System

Shelves that can be adjusted up or down easily with the ip of a lever, allowing them to be adjusted without having to unload them. The shelves are easy to clean and let you use the whole shelf edge to edge for full visibility and accessibility.

FreshFlow™ Air Filter

An air lter is 15 times more powerful than baking soda at reducing common food odors inside the refrigerator. Replace your air lter every 6 months for maximum odor reduction.

Water Dispenser with Measured Fill

The Measured Fill feature allows you to dispense a desired amount of ltered water in convenient increments like 8, 16, or 24 oz.

Water Dispenser with Favorite Fill

The Favorite Fill feature allows you to save two custom presets that can be programmed for favorite items that are frequently lled, such as a coffee pot or a water bottle.

Panoramic LED lighting

Multiple strips of LED lights inside the refrigerator compartment, freezer compartment, and interior drawers minimize shadows and evenly distribute light throughout the refrigerator.

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 nal 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 and approved accessories 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 avor may be affected. If nuisance tripping has occurred, and if the condition of the food appears poor, dispose of the food.

NOTE: Before performing any type of installation or cleaning, turn off cooling, and then disconnect the refrigerator from the electrical source. When you have nished, reconnect the refrigerator to the electrical source and turn on cooling. See the “Using the Controls” section.

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, qualied plumber.

NOTE: If the water pressure is less than what is required, the ow 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 and supplying the water inlet valve of the refrigerator needs to be between 35 and 120 psi (241 and 827 kPa).

If a reverse osmosis water ltration system is connected to your home 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 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 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 lter, it may further reduce

the water pressure when used in conjunction with a reverse osmosis system. Remove the water lter. See the “Water Filtration System” section.

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

Connect the Water Supply

Read all directions before you begin.

IMPORTANT:

■ Plumbing must be installed in accordance with the

International Plumbing Code and any local codes and ordinances.

■ 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 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

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

wrenches

■ 1/4" nut driver

NOTE: Do not use a piercing-type or 3/16" (4.76 mm) saddle valve which reduces water ow and clogs easier.

Connect to Water Line

IMPORTANT: If you have turned the refrigerator on before the

water was connected, turn off the ice maker.

1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.

2. Turn off main water supply. Turn on nearest faucet long

enough to reduce water pressure in the water line.

3. Use a quarter-turn shut-off valve or the equivalent, served by

a 1/2"

(12.7 mm)

household supply line.

NOTE: To allow sufcient water ow to the refrigerator, a minimum 1/2" (12.7 mm) size household supply line is recommended.

A B

A. Sleeve B. Nut

4. Now you are ready to connect the copper tubing to the

shut-off valve. Use 1/4" (6.35 mm) O.D. (outside diameter) soft copper tubing to connect the shut-off valve and the refrigerator.

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

The Dispenser Drip Tray

IMPORTANT:

■ If the ice cubes are hollow or have an irregular shape, it could

be because of low water pressure. See the “Water Supply Requirements” section.

■ Ice travels from the ice storage bin through the dispenser

chute to the dispenser. To turn off the ice maker, see the “Ice Maker and Storage Bin” section.

■ The dispenser may continue to make noise and ice may

continue to dispense for several seconds after releasing the dispenser button or paddle.

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 two weeks.

■ 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 then dry thoroughly.

To Dispense Ice: Paddle Dispensing

1. Select the desired type of ice by pressing CUBED ICE or

CRUSHED ICE.

WARNING

The drip tray can be removed to carry to the sink to empty or clean.

■ Lift up on the front edge of the tray and pull forward to

remove.

■ The drip tray can also slide out to assist in Measured/

Favorite Fill.

The Dispenser Light

1. When you use the dispenser, the light will automatically

turn on.

2. The dispenser light also serves as an automatic night light.

Once the ambient light in the room is reduced, the auto sensor will cause the dispenser light to illuminate.

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 paddle. Hold the

glass close to the dispenser opening, so ice does not fall outside of the glass.

IMPORTANT: You do not need to apply a lot of pressure to the paddle to activate the ice dispenser. Pressing hard will not make the ice dispense faster or in greater quantities.

3. Remove the glass to stop dispensing. NOTE: Ice may continue to dispense for several seconds after

removing the glass from the dispenser paddle. The dispenser may continue to make noise for a few seconds after dispensing.

The Dispenser Lock

The dispenser can be locked 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 or the dispenser light. It simply deactivates the controls and dispenser levers. To turn off the ice maker, see the “Ice Maker and Storage Bin” section.

■ Touch and hold CUBED ICE for 3 seconds to lock the

dispenser.

■ Touch and hold CUBED ICE for 3 seconds to unlock the

dispenser.

■ The display screen indicates when the dispenser is locked.

Ice Maker and Storage Bin

IMPORTANT: To avoid low ice production and poor quality ice,

ush the water system before turning on the ice maker. See the “Water and Ice Dispensers” section.

■ Following installation, allow 24 hours to produce the rst

batch of ice. Discard the rst three batches of ice produced. Allow 2 to 3 days to ll the ice storage bin.

■ 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.
