Grounding instructions
Grounding method
Your refrigerator is equipped with
an electrical cord with a grounded
3-prong plug. To minimize the risk
of electrical shock, the cord must be
connected to a 3-prong wall outlet
grounded in accordance with the
National Electrical Code and all local
codes and regulations. If no such
outlet is available, it is the customer's
responsibility and obligation to have
a duly grounded 3-prong outlet
installed by a qualified electrician.
Water Dispenser (some models)
Your new refrigerator has an innovative
water dispenser on the door to keep
chilled water available and reduce the
number of times you open the refrigerator
door, which helps reduce the product's
power consumption.
Water storage tank
The water storage tank is filled manually and is located on the
inside of the refrigerator compartment door. It has a maximum
capacity of 4 liters of water.
IMPORTANT:
■ Clean the system before using it for the first time. To do so,
fill the storage tank with clean water and press the water
dispenser paddle with a large glass or jug until you have
removed at least a liter of water. Discard that water. This
process will help clean the system and flush air from the
dispenser valve. Once the system is clean, wait until the water
chills before using the dispenser again. If water is used, fill it
only with drinking water. The dispenser should be used with
liquids only.
■ Once the system is clean, wait until the water chills before
using the dispenser again.
■ If water is used, fill only with drinking water.
■ The dispenser should be used with liquids only.
NOTE: Drinks such as milk, juices with pulp and seeds may clog
the valve and cause the dispenser to malfunction.
■ Whirlpool is not responsible for damages to the dispenser and
its dispensing system caused by the use of liquids with pulp
and/or seeds.
NOTES
■ After 6 hours, carbonated drinks can lose their fizz.
■ Wash the tank before filling it with another beverage
(see Cleaning the Dispenser).

Filling the water storage tank
To fill the water storage tank, rotate the
small lid on the cover and remove it.
Then add water using a jug.
NOTE: The small lid cannot be
completely removed from the
cover of the storage tank.
IMPORTANT: Always fill the storage tank with water when it is
properly attached to the door.
How to use the water dispenser:
1. Press a sturdy glass or jug against the
center of the dispenser paddle.
2. Once the necessary water is obtained,
stop pressing against the paddle, but do
not remove the glass or jug until the water
stops running completely.
IMPORTANT: Always hold the glass
(or container) in your hand when dispensing
water. Do not try to leave a glass unattended
in the dispenser well.
NOTE: The water may taste strange if the
dispenser is not used periodically.
WARNING
Explosion Hazard
Use nonflammable cleaner.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
Cleaning the dispenser
Cleaning the water storage tank:

tank and tilt it slightly upwards, then
