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 efciency 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-efciency compressor to run for extended periods of time at varying speeds in order to consume only the energy necessary for optimum efciency. 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.

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® Certied 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 certied 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.

More Storage Space

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

Infinity 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 your 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.

Small Items Bin

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

Enable Wi-Fi

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

LED Lighting

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

House LED

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

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.

replacement, door adjustment, water

filter installation, air filter installation,

shelf adjustment or removal, and

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 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, 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 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 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 “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 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 sufcient water ow to the refrigerator, a minimum

⁄2" (12.7 mm) size household supply line is recommended.

C. Copper tubing (to refrigerator) D. Household supply line (½" minimum)

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 to 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.

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 final 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 tube 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.
