REFRIGERATOR SAFETY

Proper Disposal of

Your Old Refrigerator

WARNING: Risk of child entrapment. 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.

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.

WARNING

Suffocation Hazard

Remove doors from your old refrigerator.

Failure to do so can result in death or

brain damage.

Important information to know about disposal of

refrigerants:

Dispose of refrigerator in accordance with Federal and Local

regulations. Refrigerants must be evacuated by a licensed,

EPA certified refrigerant technician in accordance with

established procedures.

PARTS AND FEATURES

What’s New Behind the Doors?

Your Whirlpool

French door refrigerator comes equipped with various

innovative storage and energy-efcient features.

Energy and Normal Operating Sounds

Your new French Door Bottom Mount refrigerator has been

designed to optimize energy efciency, and better regulate

temperatures to match cooling demand. You may notice that it

operates differently from 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.

More Storage Space

The French Door Bottom Mount has the most fresh food storage

space available, including a full-width, temperature controlled,

pantry drawer perfect for storing veggie trays or party platters.

In-Door-Ice

Ice Dispensing System

The ice storage bin located in the door provides an entire extra

shelf of storage space, and the storage bin is removable for easy

access to ltered ice.

Dual Evaporator (on some models)

The refrigerator and freezer compartments have dedicated

evaporators to provide fresh and frozen foods with separate

climates. Frozen food stays cold and dry, while fresh food

remains at the ideal temperature and humidity.

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.

Water Filter

NSF

Certied lter reduces chlorine taste and odor, particulates

(class I), lead, and mercury. Replacing the water lter every 6

months ensures clean, ltered drinking water.

Air Filter

An air lter is 15 times more powerful than baking soda at

reducing common food odors inside the refrigerator.

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.

CoolVox

Kitchen Sound System (on some models)

We made the kitchen pulse with energy by adding music where

it’s never been before. The CoolVox

kitchen sound system pairs

easily with smart phones, tablets or other Bluetooth

®†

mobile

devices.

Water Dispenser with Measured Fill

(on some models)

The measured ll feature allows you to dispense the desired

amount of ltered water.

Glo Shelves (on some models)

Industry-exclusive MicroEdge

Glo shelves make every snack

stand out in your refrigerator. By moving LED lighting to a new

spot under the shelves, this leading-edge technology elevates the

look and feel of your refrigerator.

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 the refrigerator has been without

power.

Unpack the Refrigerator

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. For

more information, see “Refrigerator Safety.”

■ Dispose of/recycle all packaging materials.

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 “Refrigerator Care.”

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.

When Moving Your Refrigerator:

Your refrigerator is heavy. When moving the refrigerator for

cleaning or service, be sure to cover the oor with

cardboard or hardboard to avoid oor damage. Always pull

the refrigerator straight out when moving it. Do not wiggle or

“walk” the refrigerator when trying to move it, as oor

damage could occur.

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

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Electrical Requirements

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.

NOTE: Before performing any type of installation, cleaning, or

removing a light bulb, 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 Control(s)” 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.

Connect the Water Supply

Read all directions before you begin.

IMPORTANT:

■ Connect to potable water supply only.

■ Plumbing must be installed in accordance with the

International Plumbing Code and any local codes and

ordinances.

■ The gray water tubing on the back of the refrigerator (which

is used to connect to the household water line) is a PEX

(cross-linked polyethylene) tube. 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.

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.

WARNING

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.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

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 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 nearest faucet long

enough to reduce water pressure in the water line.

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

a 1/2"

(12.7 mm)

household supply line.

NOTE: To allow sufcient water ow to the refrigerator, a minimum

1/2

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

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 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.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Refrigerator Leveling, Door Closing and Alignment

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 wrench

1. Remove the base grille. 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 break

feet by turning them counterclockwise. The front rollers will

be touching the oor.

2. Move the refrigerator to its nal location.

3. Lower the brake feet, by turning 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.

4. Make sure the doors close easily. If you are satised with the

door opening and closing, skip the next section and go to

“Align the Doors.” If, however, the doors do not close easily

or the doors pop open, adjust the tilt.

To Adjust the Cabinet Tilt:

■ Open the freezer drawer. Use a 1/4" hex driver to turn

both brake feet clockwise the same amount. This will

raise the front of the refrigerator. It may take several turns

to allow the doors to close easier.

NOTE: Having someone push against the top of the

refrigerator takes some weight off the brake feet. This makes

it easier to turn them.

Style 1

Style 2

5. 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.

6. Make sure the refrigerator is steady. If the refrigerator seems

unsteady or rolls forward when the 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 oor. Check again. If not satised, 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.

7. Replace the base grille by aligning the ends of the grille with

the leveling assemblies on each side and snapping the grille

into place.

Water Filtration System

Install the Water Filter

1. Locate the accessory packet in the refrigerator and remove

Install Produce Preserver (on some models)

The produce preserver absorbs ethylene, to slow the ripening

process of many produce items. As a result, certain produce

items will stay fresh longer.

Ethylene production and sensitivity varies depending on

the type of fruit or vegetable. To preserve freshness, it is

best to separate produce with sensitivity to ethylene from

fruits that produce moderate to high amounts of ethylene.

Sensitivity

Asparagus Medium Very Low

Berries Low Low

Broccoli High Very Low

Cantaloupe Medium High

Carrots Low Very Low

Citrus Fruit Medium Very Low

Grapes Low Very Low
