From p. 1 of the Manual:
Two customer-accessible memory module slots supporting up to 16 GB of RAM
So you can install a pair of DDR3L-1600 8 gig modules with, other than capacity, the same specs as that 4 gig module already in there.
Memory modules (PC3L-12800, 1600-MHz, DDR3L) 8-GB 693374-001
These will work:
Those are the only memory modules to use. There are no "gaming" or "performance" memory modules that are going to speed up the computer. Spending extra money on such memory is not beneficial.

Hi:
While the chipset supports 32 GB of memory, the memory slots only support 8 GB modules, which means your notebook would need 4 memory slots to install 32 GB of memory, which it doesn't have.
Of course you can find out the easy way that 32 GB won't work, and borrow 2 x 16 GB DDR3L memory chips from somebody.
The hard (and expensive) way to find out it won't work, would be buying 2 x16 GB memory chips.
