Proper Disposal of

Your Old Refrigerator

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.

■ Take off the doors.

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

climb inside.

PARTS AND FEATURES

What’s New Behind the Doors?

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

innovative storage and energy-efcient 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.

Reduced Freezer Burn Mode

This feature minimizes moisture migration from frozen food. This in turn reduces the freezer burn occurrence. To turn on the Reduced Freezer Burn mode, toggle to the coldest freezer temperature set point. To turn off the Reduced Freezer Burn 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. You also do not lose an entire half shelf to tall items storage with the Innity Slide Shelf. 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.

In-Door-Ice® Storage Bin

The ice maker and ice storage bin are located in the door for easy access to ltered ice while freeing up valuable shelf space inside and adding additional door bins for more usable space.

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.

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.

replacement, door adjustment, water

Final Steps

WARNING

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.

1. Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.

2. Reset the controls. See the “Tools” section.

3. Return all removable parts and food to the drawers.

Electrical Requirements

WARNING

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 “Tools” 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.

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 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 or 20 A 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.

If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent or a similarly qualied person. Do not use a cord that shows cracks or abrasion damage along its length or at either the plug or connector end.

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.

Connect the 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.

■ 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-head 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" saddle valve which reduces water ow and clogs more easily.

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 the nearest faucet until

the water stops owing.

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

a 1/2" household supply line.

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

5. Place the free end of the tubing into a container or sink and

turn on main water supply to ush out tubing until water is clear. Turn off shut-off valve on the water pipe.

NOTE: Always drain the water line before making the nal connection to the inlet of the water valve to avoid possible water valve malfunction.

6. 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.

Connect to Refrigerator

Follow the connection instructions specic to your model.

1. Remove plastic cap from water valve inlet port. Attach the

copper tubing to the valve inlet using a compression nut and sleeve as shown. Tighten the compression nut. Do not overtighten. Conrm copper tubing is secure by pulling on copper tubing.

2. Create a service loop with the copper tubing. Avoid kinks

when coiling the copper tubing. Secure copper tubing to refrigerator cabinet with a “P” clamp.

A. Sleeve B. Nut

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

off valve. Use 1/4" 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.

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.

Refrigerator Leveling

and Door Closing

The base grille covers the adjustable brake feet and roller assemblies located at the bottom of the refrigerator below the freezer drawer. Before making any adjustments, remove the base grille and move the refrigerator to its nal location.

Tools Needed: 1/4" hex driver Tools Provided: 1/8" hex key

1. Use a 1/4" hex driver to remove both screws in base grille.

2. Remove the base grille. Using both hands, grasp the grille

rmly and pull it toward you. Open the freezer drawer to access the brake feet.

NOTE: To allow the refrigerator to roll easier, raise the brake feet by turning them counterclockwise. The front rollers will be touching the oor.

3. Move the refrigerator to its nal location.

4. Using the 1/4" hex driver, lower the brake feet. Turn them

clockwise until the rollers are off the oor and both brake feet are snug against the oor. This keeps the refrigerator from rolling forward when opening the refrigerator doors or freezer drawer.

IMPORTANT: If you need to make further adjustments involving the brake feet, you must turn both brake feet the same amount to keep the refrigerator level.

5. Use a level to make sure the refrigerator is level from side to

side and front to back.

6. Make sure the doors are even at the top and that the space

between the bottom of the refrigerator doors and the top of the freezer drawer is even. If necessary, align the doors.

Water and Ice Dispensers

IMPORTANT:

■ Allow 3 hours for the refrigerator to cool down and chill water.

■ Allow 24 hours to produce the rst batch of ice. Discard the

rst three batches of ice produced.

■ The dispensing system will not operate if the left-hand

refrigerator door is open.

Dispensing Calibration

Household water pressure may affect the accuracy of the Measured Fill feature. So, for optimum performance of your water dispenser, you must rst calibrate Measured Fill.

IMPORTANT:

■ Flush the water system before calibrating Measured Fill.

■ For best results, calibration should be performed when water

is not being used in the house.

1. Place a sturdy measuring cup (1 cup [237 mL] size) on the

dispenser tray centered in front of the ice/water dispenser paddle.

NOTE: Depending on your model, a measuring cup may be provided.

A. Water dispenser paddle B. Ice dispenser paddle

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 lter, ush the water system.

Flushing the water dispensing system forces air from the water line and lter and prepares the water lter for use. Additional ushing may be required in some households.

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 paddle for 5 seconds.

2. Release the dispenser paddle for 5 seconds. Repeat steps

1 and 2 until water begins to ow.

3. Once water begins to ow, continue depressing and releasing

the dispenser pad (5 seconds on, 5 seconds off) until a total of 3 gal. (11.4 L) has been dispensed.

A. Water dispenser paddle B. Ice dispenser paddle C. Measuring cup (1 cup [237 mL])

Ensure that you do not have any Measured Fill preset selected.

2. To enter Calibration Mode, go to Tools > More Modes >

Calibration. Calibration can also be done the rst time the refrigerator is powered on.

3. Press and hold the water dispenser paddle, as needed,

to dispense water to the 1 cup (237 mL) ll line in the measuring cup.

NOTE: If overlling or spilling occurs, discard the water and restart the calibration process.

4. When 1 cup (237 mL) of water has been correctly dispensed

into the measuring cup, touch OK to conrm the calibration.

Dispensing

Touch the Ice keypad for your ice selection.

NOTES:

■ 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 in size.

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

crushed ice will be dispensed along with the rst cubes.

Dispensing Water

IMPORTANT:

■ Dispense at least 1 qt (1 L) of water every week to maintain

a fresh supply.

■ If the ow of water from the dispenser decreases, it could

be caused by low water pressure.

■ With the water lter removed, dispense 1 cup (237 mL)

of water. If 1 cup (237 mL) 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

(237 mL) of water, the water pressure to the refrigerator is lower than recommended. See the “Water Supply Requirements” and “Troubleshooting” sections for suggestions.

To Dispense Water: Standard:

1. Press a sturdy glass against the water dispenser paddle.

2. Remove the glass to stop dispensing.

To Dispense Water: Measured Fill:

Measured Fill allows you to dispense a specied amount of water with the touch of a few buttons.

1. Put a sturdy glass under water spout. Select the amount of

water and unit to dispense. NOTE: The amount of water you select will be dispensed.

Make sure the container can hold the entire volume. If ice is in the container, you may need to adjust your selection.

2. Touch DISPENSE or press paddle and the selected amount

of water will be dispensed.

NOTE: Most coffee cups (commonly 4 to 6 oz [118 to 177 mL] per cup) are not the same size as a measuring cup (8 oz [237 mL]). You may need to recalibrate Measured Fill to underll or to avoid unintentionally overlling coffee cups.

3. Dispense water. NOTE: While dispensing water, the ow of water will

automatically stop once the desired volume has been dispensed.

■ Press a sturdy glass against the dispenser paddle below

the water spout.

■ Place the glass below the water spout and touch

DISPENSE for hands-free dispensing.

4. To pause dispensing before the selected volume has been dispensed, press pause button on screen

NOTE: If you stop dispensing before the desired volume has been dispensed, the display will turn off after 1 minute. If you have not resumed by then, it will reset back to the original amount.

The Ice Dispenser

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 through and out 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

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.

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 two to three 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.

3. Close the ice compartment door. Remove and Replace the Ice Storage Bin

■ Remove the ice storage bin by inserting your ngers into the

hole at the base of the bin and pulling the latch to release the bin from the compartment. Lift the storage bin up and pull it straight out.

■ Replace the storage bin inside the ice compartment and push

down to make sure it is rmly in place.
