Child Safety

Destroy or recycle the carton, plastic bags, and
any exterior wrapping material immediately
after the refrigerator is unpacked. Children
should NEVER use these items to play.
Cartons covered with rugs, bedspreads, plastic
sheets or stretch wrap may become airtight
chambers, and can quickly cause suffocation.

Proper Disposal of your
Refrigerator or Freezer

Risk of child entrapment

Child entrapment and suffocation are not
problems of the past. 3unked or abandoned
refrigerators or freezers are still dangerous

- even if they will sit for "just a few days': If
you are getting rid of your old refrigerator or
freezer, please follow the instructions below to
help prevent accidents.

Proper Disposal of Refrigerators/
Freezers

We strongly encourage responsible appliance
recycling/disposal methods. Check with your utility
company or visit www.energystar.gov/recyde for
more information on recycling your old refrigerator.

Before you throw away your old refrigerator/
freezer:

• Remove
doors.

* Leave

shelves in
place so

children
may not

easily climb
inside.

* Have

refrigerant
removed by
a qualified service technician.

Electrical information

The refrigerator must be plugged into its
own dedicated 115 Volt, 60 Hz., 15 Amp,

AC only electrical outlet. The power cord of
the appliance is equipped with a three-

prong grounding plug for your protection

against electrical shock hazards. It must be

plugged directly into a properly grounded

three prong receptacle. The receptacle

must be installed in accordance with local

codes and ordinances. Consult a qualified
electrician. Avoid connecting refrigerator to

a Ground Fault Interrupter (GFI) circuit. Do

not use an extension cord or adapter plug.

* If the power cord is damaged, it should

be replaced by an authorized service

technician to prevent any risk.

Never unplug the refrigerator by pulling on
the power cord. Always grip the plug firmly,
and pull straight out from the receptacle to

prevent damaging the power cord.

• Unplug the refrigerator before cleaning
and before replacing a light bulb to avoid

electrical shock.

Performance may be affected if the voltage

varies by 10% or more. Operating the

refrigerator with insufficient power can

damage the compressor. Such damage is

not covered under your warranty.
Do not plug the unit into an electrical outlet

controlled by a wall switch or pull cord to

prevent the refrigerator from being turned

off accidentally.

CFClHCFCDisposal

Your old refrigerator may have a cooling system
that used CFCsor HCFCs(chlorofluorocarbons

or hydrochlorofluorocarbons). CFCs and HCFCs
are believed to harm stratospheric ozone if

released to the atmosphere. Other refrigerants
may also cause harm to the environment if

released to the atmosphere.

If you are throwing away your old refrigerator,

make sure the refrigerant is removed for
proper disposal by a qualified technician. If

you intentionally release refrigerant, you may

be subject to fines and imprisonment under
provisions of environmental legislation.

Pressing and holding the On/Off button for
three seconds, located on the temperature
control panel, will disable your refrigerator's
cooling system but does not disconnect the
power to the light bulb and other electrical
components. To turn off power to your
refrigerator you must unplug the power cord

from the electrical outlet.

Position fresh food handle
end caps over upper and
lower pre-installed shoulder

bolts (A) that are fastened
into door, ensuring the holes

for the set screws are facing
towards the opposite door.

While holding handle firmly
against door, fasten upper

and lower Allen set screws
(B) with supplied Allen

wrench.
Repeat steps 2 and 3 to

install opposite handle.
Ensure the holes for the set

screws are facing towards
the first door.

Position freezer handle end
caps over left and right

pre-installed shoulder bolts
that are fastened to the door,
ensuring the holes for the set

screws are facing down.
While holding handle firmly

against door, loosely tighten
right Allen set screw (B) with
supplied Allen wrench until
there is no gap between

handle and door.
Still holding the handle firmly

to the door, firmly tighten
left Allen set screw (B) with
supplied Allen wrench.

Return to the right Allen set
screw (B) and firmly tighten
with supplied Allen wrench.

Mounting Refrigerator Handles

Mounting Freezer Handle

All set screws should be tightened so the screw is below
the surface of the handle. The handles should be drawn

tight to freezer and refrigerator doors with no gaps.
Opening the opposite door while tightening the Allen

screw makes installation easier.
The door handle may loosen over time or if it was

installed improperly. If this happens, tighten the set

screws on the handles.

Wear gloves and safety goggles. Use extreme CAUTIONwhen installingthese handles.

To avoid electric shock, which can cause
death or severe personal injury, disconnect
the refrigerator from electrical power before
connecting a water supply line to the

refrigerator.

A shutoff valve to connect the water supply

line to your household water system. DO
NOT use a self-piercing type shutoff valve.

Do not re-use compressionfitting or use

thread sealtape.

A compression nut and ferrule (sleeve) for
connecting a copper water supply line to

the ice maker inlet valve.

To Avoid Property Damage:

• Copper or Stainless Steel braided tubing
is recommended for the water supply

line. Water supply tubing made of 1/4
inch plastic is not recommended to be
used. Plastic tubing greatly increases
the potential for water leaks, and the
manufacturer will not be responsible for
any damage if plastic tubing is used for
the supply line.

• DO NOT install water supply tubing in
areas where temperatures fall below
freezing.

• Chemicals from a malfunctioning water
softener can damage the ice maker. If
your home has a water softening system,

ensure the softener is maintained and
working properly.

Ensure that your water supply line
connections comply with all local plumbing
codes.

Before Installing The Water

Supply Line, You Will Need:

• Basic Tools: adjustable wrench, fiat-blade

screwdriver, and PhillipsTM screwdriver

• Access to a household cold water line with

water pressure between 30 and 100 psi.

• A water supply line made of 1/4 inch

(6.4 mm) OD, copper or stainless steel

tubing. To determine the length of tubing

needed, measure the distance from the
ice maker inlet valve at the back of the

refrigerator to your cold water pipe. Then
add approximately 7 feet (2.1 meters),
so the refrigerator can be moved out for
cleaning (as shown).

Check with your local building authority
for recommendations on water lines and

associated materials prior to installing your
new refrigerator. Depending on your local/
state building codes, Frigidaire recommends
for homes with existing valves its Smart
Choice ® water line kit 5305513409 (with
a 6 ft. Stainless Steel Water Line) and for
homes without an existing valve, Frigidaire

recommends its Smart Choice ® water line
kit 5305510264 (with a 20 ft. Copper Water

Line with self-tapping saddle valve). Please
refer to www.frigidaire.com/store for more

information.

(sleeve) into valve inlet and finger tighten
compression nut onto valve. Tighten
another half turn with a wrench; DO NOT
over tighten. See Figure 1.

If you use stainless steel tubing - The
nut and ferrule are already assembled on
the tubing. Slide compression nut onto
valve inlet and finger tighten compression
nut onto valve. Tighten another half turn
with a wrench; DO NOT over tighten. See

Ice maker/dispenser tips

• If your refrigerator is not connected to a
water supply or the water supply is turned
off, turn off the ice maker by holding the
On/Off soft-touch icon for three seconds.

The following sounds are normal when the

ice maker is operating:

Motor running
Ice dropping into ice bin
Water valve opening or closing

Running water

When dispensing ice, you will hear a
snapping or clicking sound when the ice
chute opens and closes.

If you need a large quantity of ice at one

time, it is best to get cubes directly from
the ice bin.

Ice cubes stored too long may develop an
odd flavor. Empty the ice bin as explained

below.
When dispensing cubed ice, it is normal to

have a small quantity of little pieces along
with the whole cubes.

If the water supply to your refrigerator is
softened, be sure the softener is properly

maintained. Chemicals from a water softener

can damage the ice maker. ....

Cleaning the ice maker

Clean the ice maker and ice bin at regular
intervals, especially prior to vacation or moving.

1 Turn off the ice maker,
2 Remove

abrasive cleaners. Rinse with clear water.

4 Allow the ice bin to dry completely before

replacing in the freezer.

5 Replace the ice bin. Turn the ice maker on.

Remove and empty the ice bin if:

An extended power failure (one hour or

longer) causes ice cubes in the ice bin to
melt and freeze together, jamming the

dispenser mechanism.
You do not use the ice dispenser frequently.

Ice cubes will freeze together in the bin,
jamming the dispenser mechanism.

Remove the ice bin and shake to loosen the

cubes or clean as explained above.

NEVER use an ice pick or similar sharp
instrument to break up the ice. This could

damage the ice bin and dispenser mechanism.
To loosen stuck ice, use warm water.

Before replacing the ice bin, make sure it is
completely dry.

When removing or replacing the ice bin,
DO NOT rotate the auger in the ice bin. If
the auger is accidentally rotated, you must
realign the auger by turning it in 45 degree
turns (see below) until the ice bin fits into
place with the drive mechanism. If the
auger is not properly aligned when replacing
the ice bin, the refrigerator will not dispense

ice. The fresh food door also may not close
properly causing warm air to leak into the

freshfood€ompa_ment. .................

Ideas for storing foods

Fresh food storage

* Keep the fresh food compartment

between 34 ° Fand 40° F with an optimum

temperature of 37° E

* Avoid overcrowding the refrigerator

shelves, which reduces air circulation and
causes uneven cooling.

Fruits and vegetables

* Store fruits and vegetables in crisper

drawers, where trapped moisture helps
preserve food quality for longer time
periods.

. Wash items and remove excess water.
* Wrap any items that have strong odors or

high moisture content.

Meat

* Wrap raw meat and poultry separately

and securely to prevent leaks and

contamination of other foods or surfaces.

* Use the dell drawer to store meat/poultry

for short-term storage. Any meat to be

kept longer than two days should be

frozen.

Frozen food storage

* Keep the freezer compartment at 0° F or

lower.

* A freezer operates most efficiently when it

is at least % full.

Packaging foods for freezing

* To minimize food dehydration and quality

deterioration, use aluminum foil, freezer
wrap, freezer bags, or airtight containers.
Force as much air out of the packages as
possible and seal them tightly. Trapped air
can cause food to dry out, change color,
and develop an off-flavor (freezer burn).

* Wrap fresh meats and poultry with suitable

freezer wrap prior to freezing.

* Do not refreeze meat that has completely

thawed.

Loading the freezer

* Prior to grocery shopping, activate

"quick freeze" so that on your return you

can ensure your newly purchased food
designated for the freezer will be preserved
as quickly as possible.

Activating "quick freeze" also will help
your freezer more efficiently maintain the
selected temperature after placing new

purchases with pre-existing frozen foods.

Avoid adding too much warm food to the
freezer at one time. This overloads the

freezer, slows the rate of freezing, and can

raise the temperature of frozen foods.

Leave a space between packages, so cold
air can circulate freely, allowing food to
freeze as quickly as possible.

Ideas for saving energy

:Installation

* Locate the refrigerator in the coolest part

of the room, out of direct sunlight, and
away from heating ducts or registers.

Do not place the refrigerator next to heat-

producing appliances such as a range,
oven, or dishwasher. If this is not possible,
a section of cabinetry or an added layer
of insulation between the two appliances
will help the refrigerator operate more
efficiently.

* Level the refrigerator so that the doors

close tightly.

Temperature settings

* Refer to the "Controls" section for

procedures on temperature settings.

Food storage

Avoid overcrowding the refrigerator or

blocking cold air vents. Doing so causes
the refrigerator to run longer and use more

energy.

* Cover foods and wipe containers dry before

placing them in the refrigerator. This cuts
down on moisture build-up inside the unit.

Organize the refrigerator to reduce door
openings. Remove as many items as

needed at one time and close the door as
soon as possible.

Do not place a hot container directly on
a cold shelf. Remember, such an extreme
temperature change may damage the
glass.

Understanding the sounds you
may hear

Your new, high-efficiency refrigerator may
introduce unfamiliar sounds. These sounds

normally indicate your refrigerator is operating
correctly. Some surfaces on floors, walls, and
kitchen cabinets may make these sounds more

noticeable.
The following is a list of major components

in your refrigerator and the sounds they can
cause:

Evaporator Refrigerant through the
evaporator may create a boiling or
gurgling sound.

Evaporator fan You may hear air being
forced through the refrigerator by the
evaporator fan.

Defrost heater During defrost cycles,
water dripping onto the defrost heater

may cause a hissing or sizzling sound.
After defrosting, a popping sound may

OCCU £

Automatic ice maker When ice has
been produced, you will hear ice cubes

falling into the ice bin. Ice maker fan,
water valve activation, and refrigerant gas
fluid may create sounds from its operation.

Electronic control & automatic
defrost control These parts can produce

a snapping or clicking sound when turning
the cooling system on and off.

F

Condenser fan You may hear air being

forced through the condenser.

G

Compressor Modern, high-efficiency

compressors run much faster than older
models. The compressor may have a high-
pitched hum or pulsating sound.

H

Water valve Makes a buzzing sound each

time it opens to fill the ice maker.

I

Drain pan (not removable) You may hear
water dripping into the drain pan during
the defrost cycle.

J

Condenser May create minimal sounds
from forced air.

L

Ice dispensing paddle When dispensing
ice, you will hear a snapping, clicking, or
popping sound when the solenoid opens

and closes the ice chute.

M

Motorized damper May produce a light
humming during operation.

Energy efficient foam in your refrigerator is
not a sound insulator.

During automatic defrost cycle, a red glow
in the back wall vents of your freezer
compartment is normal.

Locating the Filters

Your refrigerator is equipped with water filtering
system. The water filter system filters all
dispensed drinking water, as well as the water
used to produce ice.

Water Filter

The water filter is located at the top right side
of the flesh food compartment.

Replacing the Water Filter

]:ngeneral, you should change the water filter
every six months to ensure the highest possible

water quality. Water Filter Status on the user
interface prompts you to replace the filter after

a standard amount of water (200 gallons/757
liters for PureSource Ultra TM) has flowed

through the system.
