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. (Plug 1), 220/240 Volt/50 Hz (Plugs 2 or 3), or
220 Volt/60Hz (Plug 3) AC only 10 ampere fused and grounded
(earthed) electrical supply is required.
It is recommended that a separate circuit serving only your
refrigerator be provided. Use an outlet that cannot be turned off
by a switch or pull chain. Do not use an extension cord.
NOTE:
Before performing any type of installation, cleaning, or
removing a light bulb, turn the control, (Thermostat, Refrigerator
or Freezer Control depending on the model) to OFF and then
disconnect the refrigerator from the electrical source. When you
are finished, reconnect the refrigerator to the electrical source
and reset the control (Thermostat, Refrigerator or Freezer Control
depending on the model) to the desired setting.
For Australia and New Zealand:
Your new appliance has been especially manufactured to meet all
Australian Standards and Conditions.
Some notations in the installation instructions may refer to
electrical requirements in other countries, so we draw your
particular attention to these specific notes.
Your appliance needs to be plugged into a 230/240 Volt 50 Hz 10
amp (Plug 4) AC only earthed outlet.
Removing the Door Handles

Apply firm pressure with hand on face of trim. Slide top trim up
and bottom trim down away from handle, then lift off of shoulder
screws. Remove handle screws.
Water Supply Connection

Read all directions carefully before you begin.
IMPORTANT:
■
All installations must be in accordance with local plumbing
code requirements.
■
Contact your dealer or Whirlpool designated service
company for proper installation and parts.
■
Connect to potable water only.
■
Water pressure: 30 to 150 psi (207 KPa - max. 1030 KPa).
■
Install ice maker tubing in areas where temperatures are
above freezing.
■
If operating the refrigerator before installing the water
connection, turn ice maker to the OFF position to prevent
operation without water (See “Water System Preparation”).
■
It may take up to 24 hours for your ice maker to begin
producing ice.
