PARTS AND FEATURES

Energy and Normal Operating Sounds

  1. Your new French Door Bottom Mount refrigerator has been designed to optimize energy efficiency, and better regulate temperatures to match cooling demand. You may notice that it operates differently from your previously owned refrigerator.
  2. It is normal for the high-efficiency compressor to run for extended periods of time at varying speeds in order to consume only the energy necessary for optimum efficiency. In addition, during various stages of the cooling cycle, you may hear normal operating sounds that are unfamiliar to you.

More Storage Space

  • The French Door Bottom Mount has the most fresh food storage space available, including a full-width, temperature controlled, pantry drawer perfect for storing veggie trays or party platters.

In-Door-Ice® Ice Dispensing System

  • The ice storage bin located in the door provides an entire extra shelf of storage space, and the storage bin is removable for easy access to filtered ice.

Dual Evaporator (on some models)

  • The refrigerator and freezer compartments have dedicated evaporators to provide fresh and frozen foods with separate climates. Frozen food stays cold and dry, while fresh food remains at the ideal temperature and humidity.

Platter Pocket

  • This full-width slide-out shelf tucked between the crispers and the lowest shelf is perfect for leftover family-sized casserole dishes, pizza boxes, and large party platters.

Water Filter

  • NSF® Certified filter reduces chlorine taste and odor, particulates class I), lead, and mercury. Replacing the water filter every 6 months ensures clean, filtered drinking water.

Air Filter

  • An air filter is 15 times more powerful than baking soda at reducing common food odors inside the refrigerator.

Produce Preserver (on some models)

  • Ethylene is a natural gas produced by fruits and vegetables to promote ripening.
  • The Produce Preserver absorbs ethylene, to delay the over-ripening of fresh produce. As a result, certain produce items will stay fresh longer.

CoolVox® Kitchen Sound System (on some models)

  • We made the kitchen pulse with energy by adding music where it’s never been before. The CoolVox® kitchen sound system pairs easily with smart phones, tablets or other Bluetooth®† mobile devices.

Water Pressure

  • A 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 “Problem Solver” 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.

  • Release the dispenser paddle for 5 seconds. Repeat steps 1 and 2 until water begins to flow.
  • Once water begins to flow, continue depressing and releasing the dispenser pad (5 seconds on, 5 seconds off) until a total of 3 gal. (12 L) has been dispensed.

Dispensing

Press ICE/WATER to toggle through the following choices in a continuous loop:

Water (default) - Dispenses water

Cubed - Dispenses cubed ice

Crushed - Dispenses crushed ice

NOTES:

The word “ICE” appears on the display screen when either crushed or cubed ice is selected.

For crushed ice, cubes are crushed before being dispensed. This may cause a slight delay when dispensing crushed ice. Noise from the ice crusher is normal, and pieces of ice may vary in size.

When changing from crushed to cubed, a few ounces of crushed ice will be dispensed along with the first cubes.

The Water Dispenser

IMPORTANT:

  • Dispense at least 1 qt (1 L) of water every week to maintain a fresh supply.
  • If the flow of water from the dispenser decreases, it could be caused by low water pressure.
  • With the water filter removed, dispense 1 cup (237 mL) of water. If 1 cup (237 mL) 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 mL) of water, the water pressure to the refrigerator is lower than recommended. See “Water Supply
  • Requirements” and “Problem Solver” or “Troubleshooting” for suggestions.

To Dispense Water:
