Location Requirements
IMPORTANT: This refrigerator is designed for indoor, household
use only.
To ensure proper ventilation for your refrigerator, allow for ¹⁄₂"
(1.25 cm) of space on each side and at the top. Allow for 1"
(2.54 cm) of space ehind the refrigerator. If your refrigerator has
an ice maker, allow extra space at the ack for the water line
connections. When installing your refrigerator next to a fixed wall,
leave 2¹⁄₂" (6.3 cm) minimum on the hinge side (some models
require more) to allow for 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 etween 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.
Electrical Requirements
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 15- or 20-amp fused, grounded
electrical supply is required. It is recommended that a separate
circuit serving only your refrigerator e provided. Use an outlet
that cannot e turned off y a switch. Do not use an extension
cord.
NOTE: Before performing any type of installation, cleaning, or
removing a light ul , turn the refrigerator to OFF. Depending on
your model, either turn the freezer control to the word OFF, or
press the Minus sign touch pads repeatedly until a dash (–)
appears in oth the Freezer and Refrigerator displays as shown.
Disconnect the refrigerator from the electrical source. When you
are finished, reconnect the refrigerator to the electrical source and
reset the temperature controls to the desired setting. See “Using
the Controls.”
Water upply Requirements
Gather the required tools and parts efore starting installation.
Read and follow the instructions provided with any tools listed
here.
TOOL NEEDED:
IMPORTANT:
All installations must meet local plum ing code requirements.
Do not use a piercing-type or ³⁄₁₆" (4.76 mm) saddle valve
which reduces water flow and clogs more easily.
Use copper tu ing and check for leaks. Install copper tu ing
only in areas where the household temperatures will remain
a ove freezing.
For models with water filters, the disposa le water filter
should e replaced at least every 6 months.
WARNING
Explosion Hazard
Keep flammable materials and vapors, suc as
gasoline, away from refrigerator.
Failure to do so can result in deat , explosion, or fire.
2¹⁄₂" (6.3 cm)

Water Pressure
A cold water supply with water pressure of etween 35 and
120 psi (241 and 827 kPa) is required to operate the water
dispenser and ice maker. If you have questions a out your water
pressure, call a licensed, qualified plum er.
Reverse Osmosis Water upply
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 e etween 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 e a minimum of 40 to 60 psi (276 to 414 kPa).
If the water pressure to the reverse osmosis system is less than
40 to 60 psi (276 to 414 kPa):
Check to see whether the sediment filter in the reverse
osmosis system is locked. Replace the filter if necessary.
Allow the storage tank on the reverse osmosis system to refill
after heavy usage.
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.”
If you have questions a out your water pressure, call a licensed,
qualified plum er.
Connect the Water upply
Read all directions efore you egin.
IMPORTANT:
Plum ing shall e installed in accordance with the
International Plum ing Code and any local codes and
ordinances.
The gray water tu ing on the ack of the refrigerator (which is
used to connect to the household water line) is a PEX
(cross-linked polyethylene) tu e. Copper and PEX tu ing
connections from the household water line to the refrigerator
are accepta le, and will help avoid off-taste or odor in your ice
or water. Check for leaks.
If PEX tu ing is used instead of copper, we recommend the
following Whirlpool Part Num ers:
W10505928RP (7 ft [2.14 m] jacketed PEX),
8212547RP (5 ft [1.52 m] PEX), or
W10267701RP (25 ft [7.62 m] PEX).
Install tu ing only in areas where temperatures will remain
a ove freezing.
If you turn on the refrigerator efore the water line is
connected, turn off the ice maker to avoid excessive noise or
damage to the water valve.
Connect to Water Line
1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.
2. Turn OFF main water supply. Turn ON nearest faucet long
enough to clear line of water.
3. Find a ¹⁄₂" to 1¹⁄₄" (12.7 mm to 31.8 mm) vertical cold water
pipe near the refrigerator.
IMPORTANT:
Make sure it is a cold water pipe.
Horizontal pipe will work, ut the following procedure
must e followed: Drill on the top side of the pipe, not the
ottom. This will help keep water away from the drill. This
also keeps normal sediment from collecting in the valve.
4. Determine the length of copper tu ing you need. Measure
from the connection on the lower right rear of the refrigerator
to the water pipe. Add 7 ft (2.1 m) to allow for cleaning. Use
¹⁄₄" (6.35 mm) O.D. (outside diameter) copper tu ing. Be sure
oth ends of copper tu ing are cut square.
5. Using a cordless drill, drill a ¹⁄₄" hole in the cold water pipe you
have selected.
6. Fasten the shutoff valve to the cold water pipe with the pipe
clamp. Be sure the outlet end is solidly in the ¹⁄₄" drilled hole in
the water pipe and that the washer is under the pipe clamp.
Tighten the packing nut. Tighten the pipe clamp screws slowly
and evenly so the washer makes a watertight seal. Do not
overtighten.
7. Slip the compression sleeve and compression nut on the
copper tu ing as shown. Insert the end of the tu ing into the
outlet end squarely as far as it will go. Screw compression nut
onto outlet end with adjusta le wrench. Do not overtighten or
you may crush the copper tu ing.
8. Place the free end of the tu ing in a container or sink, and turn
ON the main water supply. Flush the tu ing until water is clear.

Using the Controls
The temperature controls are located at the top front of the
refrigerator or freezer compartments.
Temperature Controls
For your convenience, the temperature controls are preset at the
factory. When you first install your refrigerator, make sure the
controls are still set to the recommended setting as shown.
Recommended etting “4”
IMPORTANT:
The recommended setting should e correct for normal
household refrigerator use. The controls are set correctly
when milk or juice is as cold as you like and when ice cream is
firm.
Wait 24 hours for your refrigerator to cool completely efore
adding food. If you add food efore the refrigerator has cooled
completely, your food may spoil.
NOTE: Adjusting the refrigerator and freezer temperature
controls to a colder than recommended setting will not cool
the compartments any faster.
If the temperature is too warm or too cold in the refrigerator or
freezer, first check the air vents to e sure they are not
locked efore adjusting the controls.
To Turn Off/On:
Press oth Minus Sign touch pads repeatedly until a dash (-)
appears in oth the refrigerator and freezer displays. Neither
compartment will cool.
Humidity Control (on some models)
The humidity control turns on a heater to help reduce moisture on
the door hinge seal. Use in humid environments or when you
notice moisture on the door hinge seal. The refrigerator uses more
energy when Humidity Control is on.
Press the control to ON when the environment is warm and
more humid, or if you notice moisture on the door hinge seal.
Press the control to OFF to save energy when the environment
is less humid.
Adjusting Controls
If you need to adjust the temperature in either the refrigerator or
freezer compartment, use the settings listed in the chart elow as
a guide.
Press the up or down arrow touch pads to adjust the temperature.
Except when starting the refrigerator, do not adjust either control
more than one setting at a time. Wait 24 hours etween
adjustments for the temperature to sta ilize.
Crisper Humidity Control
You can control the amount of humidity in the moisture-sealed
crisper. Depending on your model, adjust the control to any
setting etween FRUIT and VEGETABLES or LOW and HIGH.
FRUIT/LOW (open) for est storage of fruits and vegeta les with
skins.
VEGETABLE /HIGH (closed) for est storage of fresh, leafy
vegeta les.
Ice Maker
(on some models)
IMPORTANT: Flush the water system efore turning on the ice
maker. See “Water Dispenser.”
Turning the Ice Maker On/Off
To turn the ice maker ON, simply lower the wire shutoff arm.
To manually turn the ice maker OFF, lift the wire shutoff arm to the
OFF (arm up) position and listen for the click.
NOTE: Your ice maker has an automatic shutoff. As ice is made,
the ice cu es will fill the ice storage in and the ice cu es will
raise the wire shutoff arm to the OFF (arm up) position. Do not
force the wire shutoff arm up or down.
NOTE: Turn off the ice maker efore removing the ice storage in
to serve ice or to clean the in. This will keep the ice cu es from
dropping out of the ice maker and into the freezer compartment.
After replacing the ice storage in, turn on the ice maker.
Ice Production Rate
The ice maker should produce a complete atch of ice
approximately every 3 hours.
To increase ice production, lower the freezer and refrigerator
temperature. See “Using the Controls.” Wait 24 hours
etween adjustments.
CONDITION/REA ON: ADJU TMENT:
REFRIGERATOR too warm REFRIGERATOR Control

14
Remember
Allow 24 hours to produce the first atch of ice. Allow 3 days
to completely fill the ice storage in. Discard the first three
atches of ice produced.
The quality of your ice will e 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 e avoided,
make sure the water softener is operating properly and is well
maintained.
Do not store anything on top of the ice maker or in the ice
storage in.
Water Dispenser
(on some models)
IMPORTANT:
After connecting the refrigerator to a water source or replacing
the water filter, flush the water system. Use a sturdy container
to depress and hold the water dispenser lever for 5 seconds,
then release it for 5 seconds. Repeat until water egins to
flow. Once water egins to flow, continue depressing and
releasing the dispenser lever (5 seconds on, 5 seconds off)
until a total of 4 gal. (15 L) has een dispensed. This will flush
air from the filter and water dispensing system, and prepare
the water filter for use. Additional flushing may e required in
some households. As air is cleared from the system, water
may spurt out of the dispenser.
NOTE: After 5 minutes of continuous dispensing, the
dispenser will stop dispensing water to avoid flooding. To
continue dispensing, press the dispenser utton again.
Allow 24 hours for the refrigerator to cool down and chill
