WRF736SDA

Electrical: 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) 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. See “Using the Controls.”

Water: A cold water supply with water

pressure between 30 and 120 psi (207 and

827 kPa) is required to operate ice maker

and water dispenser. If you have questions

about your water pressure, call a licensed,

qualified plumber.

IMPORTANT: The pressure of the water

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).

Reverse Osmosis Water Supply: 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).

Because Whirlpool Corporation policy includes a continuous commitment to improve

our products, we reserve the right to change materials and specifications without notice.

¹⁄₂" (1.25 cm)

To ensure proper ventilation for your refrigerator, allow for a

⁄2" (1.25 cm) space on

each side and at the top. Allow for 1" (2.54 cm) of space behind the refrigerator. If

your refrigerator has an ice maker, make sure you leave some extra space at the

back for the water line connections.

If you are installing your refrigerator next to a fixed wall, leave 3

⁄4" (9.5 cm)

minimum on the hinge 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, nor in a location where the temperature will fall below

55°F (13°C).
