Electrical Requirements

WARNING

Electrical Shock Hazard

Plug into a grounded (earthed) 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.

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 60 Hz. (Plug 3) AC only 10-amp fused and grounded (earthed) electrical supply is required.

Plug 1

Plug 2

Plug 3

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.

WARNING

Electrical Shock Hazard

Disconnect power before servicing.

Replace all parts and panels before operating.

Failure to do so can result in death or electrical shock.

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 Saudi Arabia:

Your new appliance has been especially manufactured to meet all Saudi Arabia 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 220 Volt 60 Hz 10-amp (Plug 3) AC only earthed outlet.

Water Supply Requirements

Gather the required tools and parts before starting installation. Read and follow the instructions provided with any tools listed here.

TOOLS NEEDED:

Flat-blade screwdriver

¹⁄₄" Nut driver

⁷⁄₁₆" and ¹⁄₂" Open-end or two

¹⁄₄" Drill bit

 

adjustable wrenches

Cordless drill

 

 

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.

IMPORTANT:

All installations must meet local plumbing code requirements.

Use copper tubing and check for leaks. Install copper tubing only in areas where the household temperatures will remain above freezing.

Water Pressure

A potable cold water supply with water pressure of 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.

If your refrigerator has a water dispenser: After installation is complete, use the water dispenser to check the water pressure.

With the water filter removed, dispense 1 cup (237 mL) of water. If 1 cup of water is dispensed in 8 seconds or less, the water pressure to the refrigerator meets the minimum requirement.

If it takes longer than 8 seconds to dispense 1 cup of water, the water pressure to the refrigerator is lower than recommended. See “Troubleshooting” for suggestions.

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.

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” in the User Instructions, User Guide, or Use & Care Guide.

If you have questions about your water pressure, call a licensed, qualified plumber.

whirlpool specifications

Whirlpool, a leading name in home appliances, offers a wide range of washing machines designed to provide efficient cleaning and convenience. Renowned for their innovative technologies and user-friendly features, Whirlpool washing machines cater to a diverse range of washing needs.

One of the standout features of Whirlpool washing machines is their load sensing technology. This smart feature detects the weight of the load and automatically adjusts the water levels and cycle duration, ensuring optimal water and energy use. This not only enhances performance but also contributes to sustainability by minimizing unnecessary water consumption.

Whirlpool also incorporates advanced washing cycles in their machines. The EcoWash cycle, for instance, is designed for efficient cleaning while using less water and energy, making it an ideal choice for environmentally conscious consumers. Additionally, the Delicate cycle ensures that fragile fabrics receive a gentle wash, protecting them from damage while effectively removing dirt.

Another notable characteristic is the FreshCare option, available in several Whirlpool models. This technology periodically tumbles the laundry after the cycle has finished, preventing wrinkles and musty odors, and keeping clothes fresh for hours. This is particularly useful for those who might not be able to move their laundry immediately after the wash cycle concludes.

Whirlpool washing machines also come equipped with an intuitive control panel featuring a range of pre-set programs. Users can easily select the desired wash type based on fabric type and soil level, ensuring tailored care for garments. Many models also offer a delay start feature, allowing users to schedule their wash cycles to start at a convenient time.

Durability and ease of maintenance are other key characteristics of Whirlpool washers. Many of their models come with a reliable stainless steel drum, which is both resistant to rust and capable of handling large loads without compromising performance. The self-cleaning technology found in select models further enhances longevity by automatically washing the drum and maintaining optimal hygiene.

In conclusion, Whirlpool washing machines combine cutting-edge technology and thoughtful design to deliver effective, efficient, and user-friendly laundry solutions. With features like load sensing, diverse washing cycles, FreshCare technology, and intuitive control options, Whirlpool continues to set the standard for innovation and reliability in the home appliance market. Whether for everyday use or special care garments, Whirlpool washing machines provide versatility and peace of mind for every household.
