What’s New Behind the Doors?

Your Whirlpool® French door refrigerator comes equipped with various innovative storage and energy efficient features.

Energy and Normal Operating Sounds

Your new French door bottom mount refrigerator has been designed with a Linear Compressor to optimize energy efficiency and better regulate temperatures to match cooling demand. You may notice that it operates differently than your previously owned refrigerator. It is normal for the high-efficiency compressor to

run for extended periods of time at varying speeds in order to consume only the energy necessary for optimum efficiency. In addition, during various stages of the cooling cycle, you may hear normal operating sounds that are unfamiliar to you.

In-Door-Ice® Ice Dispensing System

EveryDrop™ Water Filter

EveryDrop™ water filters are NSF® Certified to reduce most contaminants, including chlorine taste and odor, lead, pesticides, and trace amounts of pharmaceuticals. EveryDrop™ brand filters are the only filters tested and certified for your refrigerator system. Replace your EveryDrop™ filter every 6 months for maximum contaminant reduction.

Water Dispenser with Measured Fill

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

The ice maker and ice storage bin are located in the door for easy access to filtered ice while freeing up valuable shelf space inside.

Dual Evaporator

More Storage Space

This French door bottom mount refrigerator has the most shelf space and door bin space available.

The refrigerator and freezer compartments have separate evaporators to provide fresh food and frozen food with optimal storage climates: cool and humid in the fresh food, cold and dry in the freezer, no mixing of air between the compartments to reduce the transfer of food odors and tastes from refrigerator to freezer, and allows freezer air to remain dry to control frost and reduce freezer burn.

Air Filter

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

Produce Preserver (on some models)

Ethylene is a natural gas produced by fruits and vegetables to promote ripening. The Produce Preserver absorbs ethylene to delay the over-ripening of fresh produce. As a result, certain produce items will stay fresh longer.

Infinity Slide Shelf

Your new Infinity slide shelf or shelves (on some models) is designed to maximize accessibility to items of all shapes and sizes. Small items fit 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 Infinity 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 your tall items—infinite 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.

Small Items Bin

This bonus storage area is perfect for butter, cream cheese, or salad/condiment packets.

LED Lighting

There is bright white LED strip lighting for maximum illumination. LED lights do not require replacement.

Shelves with Under-Shelf Lighting (on some models)

By moving LED lighting to a new location under the shelves, this leading-edge technology improves interior refrigerator lighting and aids in locating storage items.

Door Alarm

A helpful alarm sounds when the refrigerator door or freezer drawer is left ajar.

Power Outage Indicator

If the power should go out while you are away from home, this indicator will let you know that the refrigerator has been without power.

Enable Wi-Fi

Touch and hold CRUSHED ICE and CUBED ICE together for 3 seconds to enable Wi-Fi.

House LED

House symbol becomes an amber color only if the user has “opt-in” or set up the Energy Advisor.

Electrical Requirements

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.

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 15or 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 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 or cleaning, turn off Cooling and then disconnect the refrigerator from the electrical source. When you have finished, reconnect the refrigerator to the electrical source and turn on Cooling. See “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, qualified plumber.

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

■■ 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 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 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” section.

If you have questions about your water pressure, call a licensed, qualified 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 offtaste 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 2 adjustable wrenches

■1⁄4" nut driver

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

Connect to Water Line

IMPORTANT: If you turn the refrigerator on before the water is 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 clear line of water.

3.Use a quarter-turn shut-off valve or the equivalent served by a 1⁄2" household supply line.

NOTE: To allow sufficient water flow to the refrigerator, a minimum 1⁄2" (12.7 mm) size household supply line is recommended.

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 final location.

Tools Needed: ¼" hex driver Tools Provided: ¼" hex key

1.Use a ¼" hex nut driver to remove both screws in base grille.

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

3.Move the refrigerator to its final location.

4.Using the 1⁄4" hex driver, lower the brake feet. Turn them clockwise until the rollers are off the floor and both brake feet are snug against the floor. 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.

To Align the Doors:

■■ Keeping both refrigerator doors closed, pull out the freezer drawer. Locate the bottom hinge pin of the right-hand refrigerator door. The alignment screw is inside the bottom hinge pin.

■■ Insert the short end of the ¹⁄8" hex key wrench (packed with the Door Handle Installation Instructions) into the bottom hinge pin until it is fully engaged in the alignment screw.

To raise the refrigerator door, turn the hex key to the right. To lower the door, turn the hex key to the left.

■■ Continue to turn the alignment screw until the doors are aligned.

A.Bottom hinge pin

B.¹⁄8" hex key wrench

7.Make sure the refrigerator is steady. If the refrigerator seems unsteady or rolls forward when a door or drawer is pulled open, adjust the brake feet.

To Steady the Refrigerator:

■Open the freezer drawer. Using a ¹⁄4" hex driver, turn both brake feet clockwise the same amount until the brake feet are snug against the floor. Check again. If not satisfied, continue to adjust the brake feet by half turns of the screw until the refrigerator does not roll forward when the drawer is opened.

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

8.Replace the base grille by aligning the ends of the grille with the leveling assemblies on each side and snapping the grille into place. Use a ¼" hex nut driver to reinstall screws.

Dispensing

Touch CUBED ICE or CRUSHED ICE 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 first cubes.

Dispensing Water

IMPORTANT:

■■ Dispense at least 1 qt (1 L) of water every week to maintain a fresh supply.

■■ If the flow of water from the dispenser decreases, it could be caused by low water pressure.

■■ With the water filter 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 “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.

NOTE: The Measured Fill button does not enable standard dispensing. It only functions in Measured Fill mode (see below).

To Dispense Water - Measured Fill:

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

1.Put a sturdy glass under waterspout. Touch MEASURED FILL to activate.

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 MEASURED FILL to turn on, then touch to select 8 oz (0.2 L), 16 oz (0.5 L), or 24 oz (0.7 L). Touch a fourth time to exit Measured Fill display.

3.Touch FILL (center ring button) and the selected amount of water will be dispensed.

NOTES:

■■ The Measured Fill dispenser will automatically time out after 1 minute of inactivity.

■■ You can refill several glasses with the same measurement by continuing to touch FILL (center ring button) after each glass fill.

Measured Fill Options are listed in the following chart:

Units

Ounces	8	16	24

Cups	1	2	3

Liters	0.2	0.5	0.7

NOTES:

■■ 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 underfill or to avoid unintentionally overfilling coffee cups.

4. Dispense water.

NOTE: While dispensing water, the center light circle will fill in. The flow 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 waterspout and touch FILL for hands-free dispensing.

5.To stop dispensing before the selected volume has been dispensed, touch FILL a second time or touch the water dispenser paddle.

NOTE: If you stop dispensing before the desired volume has been dispensed, the center light circle will continue to reflect how much water remains to be dispensed. The display will turn off after 1 minute of inactivity.

6.To select a new volume or start dispensing the same volume again, you must first finish dispensing the selected volume or turn off the Measured Fill feature (either by waiting 1 minute so it will automatically turn off or by touching CUBED ICE

or CRUSHED ICE to manually turn it off), and then select Measured Fill again.

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 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 2 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

Ice Maker and Storage Bin

IMPORTANT: To avoid low ice production and poor quality ice, flush the water system before turning on the ice maker. See “Water Dispenser” section.

■■ Following installation, allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice. Discard the first 3 batches of ice produced. Allow 2 to 3 days to fill 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.

Important information to know about glass shelves and covers:

Shelves and Shelf Frames

The shelves in your refrigerator are adjustable to meet your individual storage needs.

Storing similar food items together in your refrigerator and adjusting the shelves to fit different heights of items will make finding the exact item you want easier. It will also reduce the amount of time the refrigerator door is open and save energy.

Shelf Height Adjustment

Shelf height can be adjusted by changing the adjustable shelf mounts between their vertical and horizontal positions.

1.Carefully lift the shelf off the shelf mounts and turn the flipper to the desired orientation.

2.Repeat for remaining shelf mounts.

3.Apply pressure to the top of the shelf to ensure the shelf is properly seated on the shelf mounts.

To remove and replace shelves:

1.Make sure adjustable shelf mounts are in the lower position before removing shelves. Also, doors will need to be open at a 90˚ angle. If open wider, it will make it harder to remove the shelves.

2.Remove the middle shelf or top shelf by lifting it up and out of the shelf supports. Then pull the shelf forward and tilt down to a vertical position. Turn the shelf at an angle and pull out of the refrigerator.

NOTES:

■■ Will need to remove middle shelf first before removing top shelf.

■■ Infinity slide glass shelves should be pushed back in. When tilted up, make sure glass does not slide to front.

3.Remove the bottom shelf by lifting it up and out of the shelf supports. Then pull the shelf forward and tilt up to a vertical position. Turn the shelf at an angle and pull out of the refrigerator.

4.Replace the middle and top shelves by putting the shelf in the refrigerator at an angle with the shelf front down. Lift the front of the shelf up and in until rear shelf drops into the shelf supports. Lower the front of the shelf and make sure that the shelf is in position.

5.Replace the bottom shelf by putting the shelf in the refrigerator at an angle with the shelf up. Lift the front of the shelf down and in until rear shelf drops into the shelf supports. Lower the front of the shelf and make sure that the shelf is in position.

Shelves with under-shelf lighting (on some models)
