instructions to help prevent accidents.
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.

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 efciency
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-efciency compressor to
run for extended periods of time at varying speeds in order to
consume only the energy necessary for optimum efciency. 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
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.
Infinity Slide Shelf
Your new Innity 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 Innity 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—innite 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.
Dual Evaporator
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 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.
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.
EveryDrop™ Water Filter
EveryDrop™ water lters are NSF® Certied to reduce most
contaminants, including chlorine taste and odor, lead, pesticides,
and trace amounts of pharmaceuticals. EveryDrop™ brand
lters are the only lters tested and certied for your refrigerator
system. Replace your EveryDrop™ lter every 6 months for
maximum contaminant reduction.
Water Dispenser with Measured Fill
The Measured Fill feature allows you to dispense a desired
amount of ltered water in handy increments like 8, 16, or 24 oz.
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.
More Storage Space
This French door bottom mount refrigerator has the most shelf
space and door bin space available.

replacement, door adjustment, water
filter installation, air filter installation,
shelf adjustment or removal, and
Wi-Fi connectivity, scan the code to

WARNING
Excessive Weight Hazard
Use two or more people to move and install
refrigerator.
Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.
Refrigerator Delivery
■ A minimum door opening of 33" (838 mm) is required. If
door opening is 36" (914 mm) or less, then removal of doors,
drawer, and hinges is required.
■ Cart the refrigerator from the side for all door openings.
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 ngers. Wipe with warm water and dry.
■ Do not use sharp instruments, rubbing alcohol, ammable
uids, or abrasive cleaners to remove tape or glue. These
products can damage the surface of your refrigerator.
■ Dispose of/recycle all packaging materials.
Location Requirements
WARNING
Explosion Hazard
Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as
gasoline, away from refrigerator.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
IMPORTANT: This refrigerator is designed for indoor, household
use only.
To ensure proper ventilation for your refrigerator, allow for a
¹⁄2" (1.25 cm) 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 xed wall,
leave a 3³⁄4" (9.5 cm) minimum space between the refrigerator
and wall to allow the door to swing open.
NOTE: 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.
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 the “Refrigerator Care” section.
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.

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 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 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 nished, 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, qualied 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 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 ltration 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 lter in the reverse
osmosis system is blocked. Replace the lter if necessary.
■ Allow the storage tank on the reverse osmosis system to rell
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 “Water Filtration
System” section.
If you have questions about your water pressure, call a licensed,
qualied 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 ow 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 sufcient water ow to the refrigerator, a minimum
1
⁄2" (12.7 mm) size household supply line is recommended.

Filters and Accessories
Water Filtration System
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.
The water lter should be replaced every 6 months based on a
ow rate of .50 gpm — .60 gpm that lters 200 gallons of water.
To order a replacement lter, contact us. See “Accessories”
section in the User Guide for information on ordering.

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 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 “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

Dispense
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.
