Energy and Normal Operating Sounds
Your new French door bottom mount refrigerator has been
designed with a Linear Compressor to optimize energy efciency
and better regulate temperatures to match cooling demand. You
may notice that it operates differently than your previously owned
refrigerator. It is normal for the high-efciency compressor to
run for extended periods of time at varying speeds in order to
consume only the energy necessary for optimum efciency. In
addition, during various stages of the cooling cycle, you may
hear normal operating sounds that are unfamiliar to you.
In-Door-Ice
®
Ice Dispensing System
The ice maker and ice storage bin are located in the door for easy
access to ltered ice while freeing up valuable shelf space inside.
Dual Evaporator
The refrigerator and freezer compartments have separate
evaporators to provide fresh food and frozen food with optimal
storage climates: cool and humid in the fresh food, cold and dry
in the freezer, no mixing of air between the compartments to
reduce the transfer of food odors and tastes from refrigerator to
freezer, and allows freezer air to remain dry to control frost and
reduce freezer burn.
Air Filter
An air lter is 15 times more powerful than baking soda at
reducing common food odors inside the refrigerator. Replace
your air lter every 6 months for maximum odor reduction.
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.
EveryDrop™ Water Filter
EveryDrop™ water lters are NSF
®
Certied to reduce most
contaminants, including chlorine taste and odor, lead, pesticides,
and trace amounts of pharmaceuticals. EveryDrop™ brand
lters are the only lters tested and certied for your refrigerator
system. Replace your EveryDrop™ lter every 6 months for
maximum contaminant reduction.
Water Dispenser with Measured Fill
The Measured Fill feature allows you to dispense a desired
amount of ltered water in handy increments like 8, 16, or 24 oz.
More Storage Space
This French door bottom mount refrigerator has the most shelf
space and door bin space available.
Infinity Slide Shelf
Your new Innity slide shelf or shelves (on some models) is
designed to maximize accessibility to items of all shapes and
sizes. Small items t perfectly around the shelf perimeter and
remain accessible, while tall items nestle perfectly in the center
when the glass is pushed back. And, with the Innity Slide Shelf,
you don’t lose an entire half shelf to tall item storage—just push
the glass portion back as far as you need to accommodate your
tall items—innite adjustability.
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.

power supply may occur, resulting in loss of cooling. Food quality
and flavor may be affected. If nuisance tripping has occurred,
and if the condition of the food appears poor, dispose of it.
NOTE: Before performing any type of installation or cleaning,
turn off Cooling and then disconnect the refrigerator from
the electrical source. When you have nished, reconnect the
refrigerator to the electrical source and turn on Cooling. See
“Using the Controls” section.
Water Supply Requirements
A cold water supply with water pressure between 35 and 120 psi
(241 and 827 kPa) is required to operate the water dispenser and
ice maker. If you have questions about your water pressure, call
a licensed, qualied plumber.
NOTE: If the water pressure is less than what is required, the ow
of water from the water dispenser could decrease or ice cubes
could be hollow or irregular shaped.
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 120 psi (241 and
827 kPa).
If a reverse osmosis water ltration 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).
■ Check to see whether the sediment lter in the reverse
osmosis system is blocked. Replace the lter if necessary.
■ Allow the storage tank on the reverse osmosis system to rell
after heavy use. The tank capacity could be too small to keep
up with the requirements of the refrigerator.
NOTE: Faucet-mounted reverse osmosis systems are
not recommended.
■ If your refrigerator has a water lter, it may further reduce
the water pressure when used in conjunction with a reverse
osmosis system. Remove the water lter. See “Water Filtration
System” section.
If you have questions about your water pressure, call a licensed,
qualied plumber.
Connect the Water Supply
Read all directions before you begin.
IMPORTANT:
■ Plumbing must be installed in accordance with the
International Plumbing Code and any local codes and
ordinances.
■ Copper and PEX tubing connections from the household
water line to the refrigerator are acceptable and will help
avoid off-taste or odor in your ice or water. Check for leaks.
If PEX tubing is used instead of copper, we recommend
the following Part Numbers: W10505928RP (7 ft [2.14 m]
jacketed PEX), 8212547RP (5 ft [1.52 m] PEX), or
W10267701RP (25 ft [7.62 m] PEX).
■ Install tubing only in areas where temperatures will remain
above freezing.
Tools Needed:
Gather the required tools and parts before starting installation.
■ Flat-blade screwdriver

turn on main water supply to ush out tubing until water is
clear. Turn off shut-off valve on the water pipe.
NOTE: Always drain the water line before making the final
connection to the inlet of the water valve to avoid possible
water valve malfunction.
6. Bend the copper tubing to meet the water line inlet which
is located on the back of the refrigerator cabinet as shown.
Leave a coil of copper tubing to allow the refrigerator to be
pulled out of the cabinet or away from the wall for service.
Connect to Refrigerator
