ENERGY SAVER MODE AND NORMAL
OPERATING SOUNDS
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.
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.
Energy Saver Mode
A selectable feature that turns off the heaters around the
refrigerator doors and dispenser. When this feature is enabled,
condensation may form on the front of the refrigerator cabinet,
gasket, or on top of the freezer drawer. Savings may vary based
on the relative humidity of environment.
WATER FILTER INSTALLATION
❑
Locate the water filter compartment in the lower left-hand side
of the refrigerator compartment. Push on the right side of the
filter door to open.
❑
Align the arrow on the water filter cap with the cutout notch in
the filter housing and insert filter.
❑
Once the filter is inserted, turn the filter clockwise 90° (quarter
turn) until it locks into the housing.
❑
Push water filter door closed to latch.
❑
Flush 3 gallons of water through the water system to clear air
from the water line and to keep the dispenser from dripping
and/or avoiding decreased dispenser flow.
NOTE:
If the filter is not installed correctly, water may
dispense at a lower flow rate and there will be slower ice
production. Improper filter installation may also cause the
water filter housing to leak.
DOOR ALIGNMENT

✔
If doors are uneven:
❑
Ensure the refrigerator is level.
❑
Keeping both refrigerator doors closed, pull out the freezer
drawer. Locate the bottom hinge pin of the right-hand

hinge pin.
❑
Insert the short end of the ¹⁄
8
" hex-key wrench (packed with the
Door Handle Installation Instructions) into the bottom hinge pin
until it is fully engaged in the alignment screw.
To raise the refrigerator door, turn the hex key to the right.
To lower the door, turn the hex key to the left.
❑
Continue to turn the alignment screw until the tops of the door
are aligned.
