Important Safety Instructions
WARNING |
WARNING |
Please Read All Instructions Before Using This |
These Guidelines Must Be Followed To Ensure That |
Refrigerator. |
Safety Mechanisms In This Refrigerator Will Operate |
|
Properly. |
FOR YOUR SAFETY |
Electrical information |
•Do not store or use gasoline, or other flammable liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance. Read product labels for warnings regarding flammability and other hazards.
•Do not operate the refrigerator in the presence of explosive fumes.
•Avoid contact with any moving parts of automatic ice maker.
•Remove all staples from the carton. Staples can cause severe cuts, and also destroy finishes if they come in contact with other appliances or furniture.
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. Junked 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.
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.
3
•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 Interruptor (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.
IMPORTANT
Pressing and holding the On/Off button for 3 seconds, located on the left side of the temperature control panel (Electronic controls), or turning the Freezer and Fresh Food controls
to “0” (Mechanical controls) 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.

Your refrigerator should be positioned to allow easy access to a counter or table when removing food. For best use of drawers and freezer baskets, the refrigerator should be in a position where both the refrigerator and freezer doors can be fully opened.
Guidelines for final positioning of your refrigerator:
•All four corners of the cabinet must rest firmly on the floor.
•The cabinet should be level at the front and rear.
•The sides should tilt ¼ inch (6 mm) from front to back (to ensure that doors close and seal properly).
•Doors should align with each other and be level.
All of these conditions can be met by raising or lowering the adjustable front rollers.

Connecting household Water Supply to refrigerator
ENGLISH
WARNING
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.
CAUTION
To Avoid Property Damage:
•Copper or stainless steel braided tubing is recommended for the water supply line.Water supply tubing made of ¼” 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 supply line.
•DO NOT install water supply tubing in areas where temperatures fall below freezing.
•Chemicals from a malfunctioning softener can damage the ice maker. If the ice maker is connected to soft water, ensure that the softener is maintained and working properly.
IMPORTANT
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, flat-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 ¼ 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).
•A shutoff valve to connect the water supply line to your household water system. DO NOT use a self-piercing type shutoff valve.
•A compression nut and ferrule (sleeve) for connecting a copper water supply line to the ice maker inlet valve.
NOTE
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, Electrolux 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, Electrolux recommends its Smart Choice water line kit 5304410264 (with a 20 ft. copper water line with self-tapping saddle valve). Please refer to www.CROSLEY.com/store for more information.
To Connect Water Supply Line To Ice Maker Inlet Valve
1Disconnect refrigerator from electric power source.
2Place end of water supply line into sink or bucket. Turn
ON water supply and flush supply line until water is clear.
Turn OFF water supply at shutoff valve.
3Remove plastic cap from water valve inlet and discard cap.
4If you use copper tubing - Slide brass compression nut, then ferrule (sleeve) onto water supply line. Push water supply line into water valve inlet as far as it will go (¼ inch/6.4 mm). Slide ferrule (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 Figure 2.
5With steel clamp and screw, secure water supply line (copper tubing only) to rear panel of refrigerator as shown.
6Coil excess water supply line (copper tubing only) about 2½ turns behind refrigerator as shown and arrange coils so they do not vibrate or wear against any other surface.
7Turn ON water supply at shutoff valve and tighten any connections that leak.
8Reconnect refrigerator to electrical power source.
9To turn ice maker on, lower wire signal arm (side mounted) or set the ice maker’s On/Off power switch to the “I” position (rear mounted).

electronic Temperature Controls
Allowing Cooling Time Before Use
To ensure safe food storage, allow your refrigerator to operate with the doors closed for at least 8 to 12 hours before placing food inside. During this cooling period, you do not need to adjust the controls, which are preset at the factory.
Setting Cooling Temperatures
Your refrigerator comes with a state-of-the-art electronic digital control system. The system’s control panel is located at the top of the fresh food compartment.
The two digital displays on the left half of the control panel indicate the current settings or temperatures of your freezer and fresh food compartments. The models with a 2-digit temperature display are for reference only, and do not display the current accurate compartment temperature. Should you desire to see what the current accurate temperature is, place a separate thermometer inside the freezer or fresh food compartment in the desired location.
(Single Digit Display - Features may vary.) |
NOTE
The advanced electronic control system in your refrigerator includes additional display modes that service professionals can use to rapidly diagnose performance issues.
To adjust the temperature to a higher or lower setting, press the Up (Cold) or Down (Colder) button closest to the display. The first time you press the button, the display shows current setting you entered. Each press of the button after that changes the setting by one.
The display shows your new setting momentarily, then changes back to the current temperature.
