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 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 finished,
reconnect the refrigerator to the electrical source and turn on
Cooling. See “Using the Control(s).”
Water Supply Requirements
A cold water supply with water pressure between 30 and 120 psi
(207 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.
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 30 and 120 psi
(207 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).
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 blocked. Replace the filter if necessary.
■ Allow the storage tank on the reverse osmosis system to refill
after heavy usage. The tank capacity could be too low to keep
up with the requirements of the refrigerator.
■ 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.”
Connect the Water Supply
Read all directions before you begin.
IMPORTANT:
■ All installations must meet local plumbing code requirements.
■ Use copper tubing or Whirlpool supply line, Part
Number 8212547RP, and check for leaks.
■ Install copper tubing only in areas where the temperatures
will remain above freezing.
TOOLS NEEDED:
Gather the required tools and parts before starting installation.
Read and follow the instructions provided with any tools
listed here.
NOTE: Your refrigerator dealer has a kit available with a ¹⁄₄"
(6.35 mm) saddle-type shutoff valve, a union, and copper tubing.
Before purchasing, make sure a saddle-type valve complies with
your local plumbing codes. Do not use a piercing-type or ³⁄₁₆"
(4.76 mm) saddle valve which reduces water flow and clogs
more easily.
Connect to Water Line
Style 1
1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.
2. Turn off main water supply. Turn on nearest faucet long enough
to clear line of water.
3. Locate a ½" to 1¹⁄₄" (1.25 cm to 3.18 cm) vertical cold
water pipe near the refrigerator.
IMPORTANT:
■ Make sure it is a cold water pipe.
■ Horizontal pipe will work, but drill on the top side of the
pipe, not the bottom. This will help keep water away from
the drill and normal sediment from collecting in the valve.
4. Determine the length of copper tubing you need. Measure
from the connection on the lower left rear of 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 tubing.
Be sure both ends of copper tubing are cut square.
5. Using a cordless drill, drill a ¹⁄₄" hole in the cold water pipe
you have selected.
6. Fasten the shut-off valve to the cold water pipe with the pipe
clamp. Be sure the outlet end is solidly in the ¹⁄₄" (6.35 mm)
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 washer makes a watertight seal.
Do not overtighten or you may crush the copper tubing.
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.

3. Use the tube clamp on the back of the refrigerator to secure
the tubing to the refrigerator as shown. This will help avoid
damage to the tubing when the refrigerator is pushed back
against the wall.
4. Turn shut-off valve on.
5. Check for leaks. Tighten any connections (including
connections at the valve) or nuts that leak.
6. On models with ice makers, the ice maker is equipped with
a built-in water strainer. If your water conditions require a
second water strainer, install it in the ¹⁄₄" (6.35 mm) water line
at either tube connection. Obtain a water strainer from your
nearest appliance dealer.
Style 2
1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.
2. Remove and discard the black nylon plug from the gray
water tube on the rear of the refrigerator.
3. If the gray water tube supplied with the refrigerator is not
long enough, a ¹⁄₄" x ¹⁄₄" (6.35 mm x 6.35 mm) coupling is
needed in order to connect the water tubing to an existing
household water line. Thread the provided nut onto the
coupling on the end of the copper tubing.
NOTE: Tighten the nut by hand. Then tighten it with
a wrench two more turns. Do not overtighten.
4. Turn shut-off valve on.
5. Check for leaks. Tighten any nuts or connections
(including connections at the valve) that leak.

Install Air Filter
(on some models)
The air filter reduces the buildup of odors. This helps to maintain
a cleaner environment inside the refrigerator.
On some models, your refrigerator's accessory packet includes
an air filter, which must be installed prior to use. On some models,
the air filter is already installed at the factory.
Installing the Air Filter
Install the air filter behind the vented door, located along
the rear interior wall of the refrigerator compartment.
1. Remove the air filter from its packaging.
NOTE: An air filter status indicator is included with the air
filter. The indicator is not needed for models that display
the air filter status on the control panel.
2. Lift open the vented door.
3. Snap the filter into place.
Air Filter Status Indicator
The control panel displays the Air Filter status.
■ GOOD - The air filter icon on the control panel lights up
in BLUE.
■ ORDER a replacement - The air filter icon on the control
panel lights up in YELLOW.
■ REPLACE air filter - The air filter icon on the control panel
lights up in RED and “Replace Filter” will appear.
■ EXPIRED - The air filter icon lights up in RED and “Replace
Filter” flashes on the control panel.
After replacing the air filter, press and hold the Air Filter button for
3 seconds. The filter icons will turn off. See “Using the Control(s).”
When the system is reset, the air filter icon will return to BLUE and
the words “Replace Filter” will disappear from the control panel.
NOTE: At any filter status, pressing and holding the Air Filter button
for 3 seconds will reset the air filter status to Good and the air filter
icon will turn off.

To order a replacement air filter, contact us. See “Accessories.”
1. Remove the used air filter by squeezing in on the side tabs.
2. Install the new air filter and reset the status indicator using
the instructions in the previous section.
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 to
Ethylene
Ethylene
Production
Apples High Very High
Asparagus Med. Very Low
Berries Low Low
Broccoli High Very Low
Cantaloupe Med. High
Carrots Low Very Low
Citrus Fruit Med. Very Low
Grapes Low Very Low

of the dispenser.
1. Using a sturdy container, depress and hold the water dispenser
paddle for 5 seconds.
2. Release the dispenser paddle for 5 seconds.
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 until water begins to flow.
4. Once water begins to flow, continue depressing and releasing
the dispenser paddle (5 seconds on, 5 seconds off) until a
total of 4 gal. (15 L) has been dispensed.
Dispense Water
IMPORTANT:
■ The dispensing system will not operate when the
refrigerator door is open.
■ The display screen on the dispenser control panel will turn off
automatically and enter “sleep” mode when the control buttons
and dispenser paddles have not been used for 2 minutes or
more. While in “sleep” mode, the first press of a control button
will only reactivate the display screen, without changing any
settings. After reactivation, changes to any settings can then be
made. If no changes are made within 2 minutes, the display will
re-enter “sleep” mode.

discard 3 full containers of ice to prepare the water filter for use.
Turning the Ice Maker On/Off
To turn on the ice maker, simply lower the wire shut-off arm.
To manually turn off the ice maker, lift the wire shut-off 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 cubes will fill the ice storage bin and the ice cubes will raise
the wire shut-off arm to the OFF (arm up) position. Do not force the
wire shut-off arm up or down.
Ice Storage Bin
1. Wash the ice storage bin with mild soap and warm water.
2. Slide the ice storage bin under the ice maker and push
it toward the back as far as it will go.
3. Lower the arm on the ice maker to the ON position.
NOTE: It usually takes approximately 24 hours for the
ice maker to begin producing ice. You may notice the ice
has an “off-taste.” If so, discard the first 3 batches of
ice produced. After that the “off-taste” should be gone.
Ice Production Rate
■ The ice maker should produce approximately 8 to 12 batches
of ice in a 24-hour period. Allow 3 days to completely fill the
ice container.
■ To increase ice production, lower the freezer and refrigerator
temperature. See “Using the Control(s).” Wait 24 hours
between adjustments.
Remember
■ 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.
■ Do not use anything sharp to break up the ice in the bin.
This can cause damage to the ice storage bin and the
dispenser mechanism.
■ Do not store anything on top of or in the ice maker or
ice storage bin.

REFRIGERATOR CARE
Cleaning
Both the refrigerator and freezer sections defrost automatically.
However, clean both sections about once a month to avoid
buildup of odors. Wipe up spills immediately.
IMPORTANT:
■ Because air circulates between both sections, any odors
formed in one section will transfer to the other. You must
thoroughly clean both sections to eliminate odors. To
avoid odor transfer and drying out of food, wrap or cover
foods tightly.
■ For stainless steel models, stainless steel is corrosion-resistant
and not corrosion-proof. To help avoid corrosion of your
stainless steel, keep your surfaces clean by using the
following cleaning instructions.
To Clean Your Refrigerator:
NOTE: Do not use abrasive or harsh cleaners such as window
sprays, scouring cleansers, flammable fluids, muriatic acid,
cleaning waxes, concentrated detergents, bleaches or cleansers
containing petroleum products on exterior surfaces (doors and
cabinet), plastic parts, interior and door liners or gaskets. Do not
use paper towels, scouring pads, or other harsh cleaning tools.
1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.
2. Hand wash, rinse, and dry removable parts and interior
surfaces thoroughly. Use a clean sponge or soft cloth
and a mild detergent in warm water.
3. Clean the exterior surfaces.
Painted metal: Wash painted metal exteriors with a clean,
soft cloth or sponge and a mild detergent in warm water.
Rinse surfaces with clean, warm water and dry immediately
to avoid water spots.
Stainless steel: Wash stainless steel surfaces with a clean,
soft cloth or sponge and a mild detergent in warm water.
Rinse surfaces with clean, warm water and dry immediately
to avoid water spots.
NOTE: When cleaning stainless steel, always wipe in the
direction of the grain to avoid cross-grain scratching.
4. There is no need for routine condenser cleaning in normal
home operating environments. If the environment is particularly
greasy or dusty, or there is significant pet traffic in the home,
the condenser should be cleaned every 2 to 3 months to
ensure maximum efficiency.
If you need to clean the condenser:
■ Remove the base grille.
■ Use a vacuum cleaner with a soft brush to clean the grille,
the open areas behind the grille and the front surface area
of the condenser.
