Your safety and the safety of others are very important.

We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and obey all safety messages.

KITCHENAID KBRA22KRWH - Your safety and the safety of others are very important. - 1

This is the safety alert symbol.

This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others.

All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word "DANGER" or "WARNING."

These words mean:

DANGER

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't immediately follow instructions.

WARNING

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't follow instructions.

All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can happen if the instructions are not followed.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury when using your refrigerator, follow these basic precautions:

■ Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
■ Do not remove ground prong.
■ Do not use an adapter.
■ Do not use an extension cord.
■ Disconnect power before servicing.
■ Replace all parts and panels before operating.
■ Remove doors from your old refrigerator.

- Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as gasoline, away from refrigerator.
■ Use two or more people to move and install refrigerator.
■ Disconnect power before installing ice maker (on ice maker kit ready models only).
■ Use a sturdy glass when dispensing ice or water (on some models).

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Proper Disposal of Your Old Refrigerator

WARNING

Suffocation Hazard

Remove doors from your old refrigerator.

Failure to do so can result in death or brain damage.

IMPORTANT: Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of the past. Junked or abandoned refrigerators are still dangerous – even if they will sit for “just a few days.” If you are getting rid of your old refrigerator, please follow these instructions to help prevent accidents.

Before You Throw Away Your Old Refrigerator or Freezer:

■Take off the doors.

■Leave the shelves in place so that children may not easily climb inside.

KITCHENAID KBRA22KRWH - WARNING - 1

natural_image Line drawing of a refrigerator with open doors and shelves (no text or symbols)

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Unpack the Refrigerator

WARNING

Excessive Weight Hazard

Use two or more people to move and install refrigerator.

Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.

Remove the Packaging

■Remove tape and glue residue from surfaces before turning on the refrigerator. Rub a small amount of liquid dish soap over the adhesive with your fingers. Wipe with warm water and dry.
■Do not use sharp instruments, rubbing alcohol, flammable fluids, or abrasive cleaners to remove tape or glue. These products can damage the surface of your refrigerator. For more information, see "Refrigerator Safety."
■Properly dispose of packaging.

When Moving Your Refrigerator:

Your refrigerator is heavy. When moving the refrigerator for cleaning or service, be sure to protect the floor. Always pull the refrigerator straight out when moving it. Do not wiggle or "walk" the refrigerator when trying to move it, as floor damage could occur.

Clean Before Using

After you remove all of the packaging materials, clean the inside of your refrigerator before using it. See the cleaning instructions in "Refrigerator Care."

Important information to know about glass shelves and covers:

Do not clean glass shelves or covers with warm water when they are cold. Shelves and covers may break if exposed to sudden temperature changes or impact, such as bumping. For your protection, tempered glass is designed to shatter into many small, pebble-size pieces. This is normal. Glass shelves and covers are heavy. Use special care when removing them to avoid impact from dropping.

Location Requirements

WARNING

KITCHENAID KBRA22KRWH - WARNING - 1

Explosion Hazard

Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as gasoline, away from refrigerator.

Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.

■Your refrigerator is designed for indoor, household use only.
■To ensure proper ventilation for your refrigerator, allow for a 12 " (1.25 cm) space at the top and behind the refrigerator.
■If your refrigerator has an ice maker, allow extra space at the back for the water line connections.
■When installing your refrigerator next to a fixed wall, leave 2½" (5.4 cm) minimum on each side (depending on your model) to allow for the door to swing open.

NOTE: It is recommended that you do not install the refrigerator near an oven, radiator, or other heat source. Do not install the refrigerator in a location where the temperature will fall below 55°F (13°C).

Electrical Requirements

WARNING

KITCHENAID KBRA22KRWH - WARNING - 1

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.

Before you move your refrigerator into its final location, it is important to make sure you have the proper electrical connection.

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 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 the control (Thermostat, Refrigerator or Freezer Control depending on the model) 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.

Water Supply Requirements

Read all directions before you begin.

IMPORTANT:

■If you turn the refrigerator on before the water line is connected, turn the ice maker OFF.
■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.

TOOLS NEEDED: Gather the required tools and parts before starting installation. Read and follow the instructions provided with any tools listed here. Flat-blade screwdriver, 716 " and 12 " open-end wrenches or two adjustable wrenches, 14 " nut driver and drill bit, hand drill or electric drill (properly grounded).

NOTE: Your refrigerator dealer has a kit available with a 14 " (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 316 " (4.76 mm) saddle valve which reduces water flow and clogs more easily.

Water Pressure

A cold water supply with water pressure of between 35 and 100 psi (241-689 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 35 and 100 psi (241-689 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 - 414 kPa). If the water pressure to the reverse osmosis system is less than 40 to 60 psi (276 - 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."

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

Connect to Water Line

  1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.
  2. Turn OFF main water supply. Turn ON nearest faucet long enough to clear line of water.
  3. Find a 12 " to 114 " (12.7 mm to 3.18 mm) vertical cold water pipe near the refrigerator.
    ■Make sure it is a cold water pipe.
    ■Horizontal pipe will work, but the following procedure must be followed: Drill on the top side of the pipe, not the bottom. This will help keep water away from the drill. This also keeps normal sediment from collecting in the valve.
  4. To determine the length of copper tubing you will need, measure from connection on lower right rear of refrigerator to water pipe. Add 7 ft (2.1 m) to allow for moving refrigerator for cleaning. Use 14'' (6.35 mm) O.D. (outside diameter) copper tubing. Be sure both ends of copper tubing are cut square.
  5. Using a grounded drill, drill a 14 " hole in the cold water pipe you have selected.

  1. Fasten shutoff valve to cold water pipe with pipe clamp. Be sure outlet end is solidly in the 14 " drilled hole in the water pipe and that rubber washer is under the pipe clamp. Tighten packing nut. Tighten the pipe clamp screws slowly and evenly so rubber washer makes a watertight seal. Do not overtighten or you may crush the copper tubing, especially if soft (coiled) copper tubing is used. Now you are ready to connect the copper tubing.
  2. Slip compression sleeve and compression nut on copper tubing as shown. Insert end of tubing into outlet end squarely as far as it will go. Screw compression nut onto outlet end with adjustable wrench. Do not overtighten.
  3. Place the free end of the tubing into a bucket or sink. Turn ON main water supply and flush out tubing until water is clear. Turn OFF shutoff valve on the water pipe. Check for leaks. Coil copper tubing.

Connect to Refrigerator

  1. Remove plastic cap from water valve inlet port. Attach the copper tube to the valve inlet using a compression nut and sleeve as shown. Tighten the compression nut. Do not overtighten. Confirm copper tubing is secure by pulling on copper tubing.
  2. Create a service loop using extreme care to avoid kinks. Secure copper tubing to refrigerator cabinet with a "P" clamp.

Normal Sounds

Your new refrigerator may make sounds that your old one didn't make. Because the sounds are new to you, you might be concerned about them. Most of the new sounds are normal. Hard surfaces, such as the floor, walls, and cabinets, can make the sounds seem louder. The following describes the kinds of sounds and what may be making them.

If your refrigerator is equipped with an ice maker, you will hear a buzzing sound when the water valve opens to fill the ice maker for each cycle.
■Your refrigerator is designed to run more efficiently, to keep your food items at the desired temperatures and to minimize energy usage. The high efficiency compressor and fans may cause your refrigerator to run longer than your old one. You may also hear a pulsating or high-pitched sound from the compressor or fans adjusting to optimize performance.
■You may hear the evaporator fan motor circulating air through the refrigerator and freezer compartments. The fan speed may increase as you open the doors or add warm food.
■Rattling noises may come from the flow of refrigerant, the water line, or items stored on top of the refrigerator.
■Water dripping on the defrost heater during a defrost cycle may cause a sizzling sound.
■As each cycle ends, you may hear a gurgling sound due to the refrigerant flowing in your refrigerator.
■Contraction and expansion of the inside walls may cause a popping noise.
■You may hear air being forced over the condenser by the condenser fan.
■You may hear water running into the drain pan during the defrost cycle.

REFRIGERATOR USE

Ensuring Proper Air Circulation

In order to ensure proper temperatures, you need to permit airflow between the refrigerator and freezer sections. As shown in the illustration, cool air enters the freezer section through vents in the rear and top. The air flows forward through the freezer section and recirculates under the freezer floor. Cool air enters the refrigerator section through the top, flows down and across shelves to the doors and recirculates to return air vents at the bottom.

KITCHENAID KBRA22KRWH - Ensuring Proper Air Circulation - 1

natural_image Diagram of a mechanical or fluidic system inside a transparent cube, showing curved flow paths with no text or symbols.

Do not block any of these vents with food packages. If the vents are blocked, airflow will be prevented and temperature and moisture problems may occur.

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 prevent odor transfer and drying out of food, wrap or cover foods tightly.

Using the Controls

The control center is located at the top front of the refrigerator compartment.

Temperature Controls

For your convenience, your temperature controls are preset at the factory. When you first install your refrigerator, make sure the controls are still set to the recommended set points as shown.

KITCHENAID KBRA22KRWH - Turning the Ice Maker On/Off - 1

Ice Production Rate

■Normal Ice Production: The ice maker should produce a complete batch of ice every 3 hours. If ice is not being made fast enough, adjust the Freezer Control to a lower (colder) number in steps. Wait 24 hours. If necessary, gradually adjust the Freezer Control to the lowest setting, waiting 24 hours between each adjustment.
■OptimIce Production (on some models): The ice maker should produce approximately 16 to 20 batches of ice in a 24-hour period. If your refrigerator has the OptimIce production feature, press the OptimIce touchpad.

Remember

■Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice. Discard the first three batches of ice produced.
■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 store anything on top of the ice maker or in the ice storage bin.

To Clean Your Refrigerator:

  1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.
  2. Remove all removable parts from inside, such as shelves, crispers, etc.
  3. 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.

■Do not use abrasive or harsh cleaners such as window sprays, scouring cleansers, flammable fluids, cleaning waxes, concentrated detergents, bleaches or cleansers containing petroleum products on plastic parts, interior and door liners or gaskets. Do not use paper towels, scouring pads, or other harsh cleaning tools. These can scratch or damage materials.

■To help remove odors, you can wash interior walls with a mixture of warm water and baking soda (2 tbs to 1 qt [26 g to 0.95 L] of water).

  1. Determine whether your refrigerator exterior is painted metal, brushed aluminum or stainless steel and choose the appropriate cleaning method.

Painted metal: Wash exteriors with a clean sponge or soft cloth and a mild detergent in warm water. Do not use abrasive or harsh cleaners, or cleaners designed for stainless steel. Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth. For additional protection against damage to painted metal exteriors, apply appliance wax (or auto paste wax) with a clean, soft cloth. Do not wax plastic parts.

Brushed aluminum: Wash with a clean sponge or soft cloth and a mild detergent in warm water. Do not use abrasive or harsh cleaners, or cleaners designed for stainless steel. Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.

Stainless steel finish: Wash with a clean sponge or soft cloth and a mild detergent in warm water. Do not use abrasive or harsh cleaners. Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.

■To keep your stainless steel refrigerator looking like new and to remove minor scuffs or marks, it is suggested that you use the manufacturer's approved Stainless Steel Cleaner & Polish. To order the cleaner, see the "Accessories" section.

IMPORTANT: This cleaner is for stainless steel parts only!

Do not allow the Stainless Steel Cleaner & Polish to come into contact with any plastic parts such as the trim pieces, dispenser covers or door gaskets. If accidental contact does occur, clean plastic part with a sponge and mild detergent in warm water. Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.

  1. 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. See "Base Grille" graphic or "Base Grille" section.
■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.

  6. Take out all removable parts, wrap them well, and tape them together so they don't shift and rattle during the move.
  7. Depending on the model, raise the front of the refrigerator so it rolls more easily OR screw in the leveling legs so they don't scrape the floor. See "Adjust the Doors."
  8. Tape the doors closed and tape the power cord to the back of the refrigerator.

When you get to your new home, put everything back and refer to the "Installation Instructions" section for preparation instructions. Also, if your refrigerator has an automatic ice maker, remember to reconnect the water supply to the refrigerator.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Try the solutions suggested here first in order to avoid the cost of an unnecessary service call.

Your refrigerator will not operate

■ Is the power cord unplugged? Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
■Has a household fuse blown, or has a circuit breaker tripped? Replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker. If the problem continues, call an electrician.
■Is the Refrigerator Control turned to the OFF position? See "Using the Control(s)," depending on the model.
Is the refrigerator defrosting? Recheck to see whether the refrigerator is operating in 30 minutes. Your refrigerator will regularly run an automatic defrost cycle.

The lights do not work

■ Is the power cord unplugged? Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
■ Is a light bulb loose in the socket or burned out? See "Changing the Light Bulb(s)," depending on the model.

There is water in the defrost drain pan

■ Is the refrigerator defrosting? The water will evaporate. It is normal for water to drip into the defrost pan.
■ Is it more humid than normal? When it is humid, expect that the water in the defrost pan will take longer to evaporate.

The motor seems to run too much

Is the room temperature hotter than normal? The motor will run longer under warm conditions. At normal room temperatures, your motor will run about 40% to 80% of the time. Under warmer conditions, it will run even more.
■Has a large amount of food just been added to the refrigerator? Adding a large amount of food warms the refrigerator. The motor normally will run longer to cool the refrigerator back down.
■ Are the doors opened often? The motor will run longer when this occurs. Conserve energy by getting all items out at one time, keeping food organized, and closing the door as soon as possible.
■Is the control set correctly for the surrounding conditions? See “Using the Control(s),” depending on the model.
Are the doors closed completely? Close the doors firmly. If they do not close completely, see “The doors will not close completely” later in this section.
Are the condenser coils dirty? This prevents air transfer and makes the motor work harder. Clean the condenser coils. See "Cleaning."

NOTE: Your new refrigerator will run longer than your old one due to its high-efficiency motor.

The refrigerator seems to make too much noise

■ The sounds may be normal for your refrigerator. See "Normal Sounds."

The ice maker is not producing ice or not enough ice

■ Has the ice maker just been installed? Wait 72 hours for full ice production to begin. Once your refrigerator is cooled, the ice maker should produce 70-120 cubes every 24 hours.
■Is the freezer temperature cold enough to produce ice? Wait 24 hours after hookup for ice production. See “Using the Control(s),” depending on the model.
■Is the wire shutoff arm in the OFF (arm up) position? Lower the wire shutoff arm to the ON (arm down) position. See “Ice Maker.”
■Is the water line shutoff valve to the refrigerator turned on? Turn on the water valve. See “Connect the Water Supply.”
■Does the ice maker mold have water in it or has no ice been produced? Be sure your refrigerator has been connected to a water supply and the supply shutoff valve is turned on. See “Connect the Water Supply.”
Is an ice cube jammed in the ejector arm? Remove the ice from the ejector arm with a plastic utensil. See "Ice Maker."
■ Has a large amount of ice just been removed? Allow 24 hours for ice maker to produce more ice.
Is the control set correctly? If too little ice is produced, see "Using the Control(s)," depending on the model.
Is there a water filter installed on the refrigerator? The filter may be full or incorrectly installed. Depending on your model, remove the water filter cartridge. See “Water Filtration System.” Operate the dispenser. If the water flow increases noticeably, your filter is full and needs to be replaced.
■Is a reverse osmosis water filtration system connected to your cold water supply? See "Water Supply Requirements."

NOTE: If not due to any of the above, there may be a problem with the water line. Call for service.

Off-taste, odor or gray color in the ice

■Are the plumbing connections new, causing discolored or off-flavored ice? Discard the first few batches of ice.
■ Have the ice cubes been stored too long? Throw old ice away and make a new supply.
■ Has food in the refrigerator been wrapped properly? See "Refrigerator Features."
■ Do the freezer and ice bin need to be cleaned? See "Cleaning."
■ Does the water contain minerals (such as sulfur)? A filter may need to be installed to remove the minerals.

■Is there a water filter installed on the refrigerator?

Gray or dark discoloration in ice indicates that the water filtration system needs additional flushing. Run additional water through the water dispenser to flush the water filtration system more thoroughly, at least 2 to 3 gal. (8 to 12 L) or 5 minutes initially. Discard discolored ice.

The water dispenser will not operate properly

  • Has the water system not filled? The water system needs to be filled the first time it is used. Use a sturdy container to depress the water dispenser until water begins to flow. Dispense and discard 2 to 3 gal. (8 to 12 L) of water. This will take approximately 5 minutes and will help clear air from the line. Additional flushing may be required in some households. See “Water Dispenser.”
    ■Is the water shutoff valve not turned on or the water line connected at the source? Be sure the water shutoff valve is turned on and the water source is connected to the refrigerator. See “Connect the Water Supply.”
    ■Is the water shutoff valve clogged or incorrectly installed? See “Connect the Water Supply.” If clogging or installation is not a problem, call for service or contact a plumber.
    Is there a kink in the home water source line? If you find or suspect a kink in the water line, contact a licensed, qualified plumber.
    Is there a water filter installed on the refrigerator? The filter may be clogged or incorrectly installed. First, check the filter installation instructions to ensure that the filter was installed correctly and is not clogged. If installation or clogging is not a problem, call for service.
    ■Is a reverse osmosis water filtration system connected to your cold water supply? See "Water Supply Requirements."

Water flow from the dispenser decreases noticeably

Is there a water filter installed on the refrigerator? The filter may be full or incorrectly installed. Depending on your model, remove the water filter cartridge. See "Water Filtration System." Operate the dispenser. If the water flow increases noticeably, your filter is full and needs to be replaced.

Water leaking from the dispenser

■Is the glass not being held under the water dispenser long enough? Hold the container under the water dispenser 2 to 3 seconds after releasing the dispenser lever. Water may continue to dispense during this time.
Is there a water filter installed on the refrigerator? The water filtration system may have air in the lines, causing water to drip. Additional flushing may help clear air from the lines. Normal dispenser use should flush air from the lines within 24 to 72 hours.

The dispenser water is not cool enough

■ Has the refrigerator been newly installed? Allow 24 hours for the refrigerator to cool completely.
■Has a large amount of water been recently dispensed? Allow 24 hours for the water to cool completely.
■ Has water not been recently dispensed? The first glass of water may not be cool. Discard the first glass of water.

The divider between the two compartments is warm

The warmth is probably due to normal operation of the automatic exterior moisture control.

Temperature is too warm

■ Are the air vents blocked in either compartment? This prevents cold air movement between the compartments. Move objects away from the air vents. See “Ensuring Proper Air Circulation” for air vent locations.
■ Are the door(s) opened often? The refrigerator will warm when this occurs. Keep the refrigerator cool by getting all items out at one time, keeping food organized, and closing the door as soon as possible.
■Has a large amount of food just been added to the refrigerator or freezer? Adding a large amount of food warms the refrigerator. It can take several hours for the refrigerator to return to the normal temperature.
■Are the controls set correctly for the surrounding conditions? See “Using the Control(s),” depending on your model.

There is interior moisture buildup

■ Are the air vents blocked in the refrigerator? Remove any objects from in front of the air vents. See “Ensuring Proper Air Circulation” for air vent locations.
■ Are the door(s) opened often? Avoid humidity buildup by getting all items out at one time, keeping food organized, and closing the door as soon as possible.
■ Is the room humid? It is normal for moisture to build up inside the refrigerator when the room air is humid.
Is the food packaged correctly? Check that all food is securely wrapped. Wipe off damp food containers before placing them in the refrigerator.
■Is the control set correctly for the surrounding conditions? See “Using the Control(s),” depending on your model.
■ Was a self-defrost cycle completed? It is normal for droplets to form after the refrigerator self-defrosts.

The doors are difficult to open

■ Are the gaskets dirty or sticky? Clean gaskets and the surface that they touch. Rub a thin coat of paraffin wax on the gaskets following cleaning.

The doors will not close completely

■ Are food packages blocking the door open? Rearrange containers so that they fit more tightly.
■ Is the ice bin out of position? Push the ice bin in all the way.

■Are the crisper cover, pans, shelves, bins, or baskets out of position? Put these items into their correct positions. See "Refrigerator Features" for more information.

■ Are the gaskets sticking? Clean gaskets and the surface that they touch. Rub a thin coat of paraffin wax on the gaskets following cleaning.
■ Does the refrigerator wobble or seem unstable? Level the refrigerator. See “Adjust the Doors.”
■Were the doors removed during product installation and not properly replaced? Remove and replace the doors according to “Refrigerator Doors,” or call a qualified service technician.
