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.

(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.

Replacing the Air Filter

The disposable air filter should be replaced every 6 months

or when the status indicator air filter icon turns on and starts

flashing when the refrigerator door is opened.

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

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

Lettuce High Very Low

Pears High Very High

Spinach High Very Low

Installing the Produce Preserver

1. Find the Produce Preserver housing inside the refrigerator.

2. Open the housing by pulling up and out on the back.

3. Remove the Produce Preserver pouches from the

packaging and place them into the housing.

NOTE: For best performance, always use 2 pouches.

4. Adhere the Produce Preserver housing to the back wall

of the crisper drawer according to the instructions included

in the package.

Installing the Status Indicator

The produce preserver comes with a status indicator, which

should be activated and installed at the same time the pouches

are installed.

1. Place the indicator face-down on a firm, flat surface.

2. Apply pressure to the bubble on the back of the indicator

until the bubble pops to activate the indicator.

3. Slide open the cap on the top of the produce

preserver housing.

4. Place the indicator in the top of the housing, facing outward.

5. Slide the cap closed, and check that the indicator is

visible through the rectangular hole in the cap.

NOTE: The cap will not easily close if the indicator’s bubble

has not been popped.

Replacing the Produce Preserver

The disposable pouches should be replaced every 6 months or

when the status indicator changes completely from white to red.

To order replacements, contact us. See “Accessories”

for information on ordering.

1. Remove the used pouches from the produce

preserver housing.

2. Remove the used status indicator.

3. Install the replacement pouches and status indicator using

the instructions in the previous sections.

the first three batches of ice produced.

■ The dispensing system will not operate when the

refrigerator door is open.

Flush the Water System

Air in the water dispensing system can cause the water dispenser

to drip. After connecting the refrigerator to a water source or

replacing the water filter, flush the water system.

Flushing the water dispensing system forces air from the water

line and filter and prepares the water filter for use. Additional

flushing may be required in some households.

NOTE: As air is cleared from the system, water may spurt out

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.

To dispense water:

1. Press a sturdy glass against the water dispenser paddle.

2. Remove the glass to stop dispensing.

again to turn off the Moisture Control feature.

■ The dispenser lights are LEDs that cannot be changed.

If it appears that your dispenser lights are not working,

see “Troubleshooting” for more information.

Dispenser Lock

The dispenser can be turned off for easy cleaning or to avoid

unintentional dispensing by small children and pets.

NOTE: The lock feature does not shut off power to the refrigerator,

to the ice maker, or to the dispenser light. It simply deactivates the

controls and dispenser paddles. To turn off the ice maker, see “Ice

Maker and Storage Bin.”

■ Press and hold FAST COOL for 3 seconds to lock

the dispenser.

■ Press and hold FAST COOL for 3 seconds again to

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.
