IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
WARNING!
Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described in this Owner’s Manual.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following:
This refrigerator must be properly installed
and located in accordance with the Installation Instructions before it is used.
Do not allow children to climb, stand or hang
on the shelves in the refrigerator. They could damage the refrigerator and seriously injure themselves.
Do not touch the cold surfaces in the freezer
compartment when hands are damp or wet. Skin may stick to these extremely cold surfaces.
Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable
vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.
In refrigerators with automatic icemakers,
avoid contact with the moving parts of the ejector mechanism, or with the heating element located on the bottom of the icemaker. Do not place fingers or hands on the automatic icemaking mechanism while the refrigerator is plugged in.
Keep fingers out of the “pinch point” areas;
clearances between the doors and between the doors and cabinet are necessarily small. Be careful closing doors when children are in the area.
Set the master power switch to the O (off) position
before cleaning or making repairs.
NOTE: We strongly recommend that any servicing be performed by a qualified individual.
Do not refreeze frozen foods that have
thawed completely.

PROPER DISPOSAL OF THE REFRIGERATOR
Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of the past. Junked or abandoned refrigerators are still dangerous…even if they will sit for “just a few days.” If you are getting rid of your old refrigerator, please follow the instructions below to help prevent accidents.
Before You Throw Away Your Old Refrigerator or Freezer:
Take off the doors.
Leave the shelves in place so that children may
not easily climb inside.
Refrigerants
All refrigeration products contain refrigerants, which under federal law must be removed prior to product disposal. If you are getting rid of an old refrigeration product, check with the company handling the disposal about what to do.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
WARNING!
HOW TO CONNECT ELECTRICITY
Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord. For personal safety, this appliance must be properly grounded.
The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a 3-prong (grounding) plug, which mates with a standard 3-prong (grounding) wall outlet to minimize the possibility of electric shock hazard from this appliance.
Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the outlet is properly grounded.
If the outlet is a standard 2-prong outlet, it is your personal responsibility and obligation to have it replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet.
The refrigerator should always be plugged into its own individual electrical outlet which has a voltage rating that matches the rating plate.
This provides the best performance and also prevents overloading house wiring circuits, which could cause a fire hazard from overheated wires.
Never unplug your refrigerator by pulling on the power cord. Always grip plug firmly and pull straight out from the outlet.
Repair or replace immediately all power cords that have become frayed or otherwise damaged. Do not use a cord that shows cracks or abrasion damage along its length or at either end.
When moving the refrigerator, be careful not to roll over or damage the power cord.
DONOT USE AN ADAPTER PLUG OR EXTENSION CORD
(Adapter plugs not permitted in Canada)
Do not use an adapter plug to connect the refrigerator to a 2-prong outlet. Do not use an extension cord with this appliance.
READ AND FOLLOW THIS SAFETY INFORMATION CAREFULLY.

About the temperature controls. ElectroluxUSA.com
The temperature controls are preset in the factory at 37°F for the refrigerator compartment and 0°F for the freezer compartment. Allow 24 hours for the temperature to stabilize to the preset recommended settings.
The actual temperature may vary slightly from the set temperature based on usage and operating environment.
NOTE: The refrigerator is shipped with protective film covering the
temperature controls. If this film was not removed during installation, remove it now.
The Performance Air-Flow System is designed to maximize temperature control in the refrigerator and freezer compartments. This unique special feature consists of the Air Tower along the back
wall of the refrigerator and the freezer. Placing food in front of the louvers on these components will not affect performance.
Performance Air Flow System
To change the temperature, press and release the up or down arrow button. To change the temperature, tap either the up arrow for warmer temperatures or the down arrow for colder temperatures until the desired temperature is displayed. Refrigerator temperatures can be adjusted between 34 °F and 46°F and the freezer temperatures can be adjusted between -6 °F and + 6°F .
Once the desired temperature has been set, the temperature display will clear after 60 seconds.
To display the temperature, the Disp T emp button may be tapped.
Several adjustments may be required. Each time you adjust controls, allow 24 hours for the refrigerator to reach the temperature you have set.

Water Filter Cartridge
The water filter is located in the fresh food compartment in the upper right side.
When to Replace the Filter
There is a replacement indicator light for the water filter cartridge on the dispenser. This light will turn amber to tell you that you need to replace the filter soon.

Insert the new filter with approximately 1 lb. of force so that the filter is completely seated
NOTE: If the filter is not seated properly, water may leak from the filtration system or no water will be dispensed.
Run water from the dispenser for 3 minutes (about 11⁄2 gallons) to clear the system and prevent sputtering.
Press and hold the button on the dispenser for 3 seconds.
NOTE: The dispenser and the icemaker will not operate without the filter.
Replacement Filters: To order additional filter cartridges

About the refrigerator doors.
Refrigerator Doors
The refrigerator doors may feel different than the ones you are used to. The special door opening/closing feature makes sure the doors close all the way and are securely sealed.
When opening and closing the door, you will notice a stop position. When the door is at the 90° stop position, it will automatically close.
The resistance you feel at the stop position will be reduced as the door is loaded with food.
When the door is at 90° open, it will automatically close.
Beyond this stop the door will stay open.
Door Alignment
If doors are uneven, adjust the refrigerator door .
Using a 7/32socket wrench, turn the door adjusting screw clockwise to raise the door, counterclockwise to lower the door. (A nylon plug, imbedded in the threads of the pin, prevents the pin from turning unless a wrench is used.)
After one or two turns of the wrench, open and close the refrigerator door and check the alignment at the top of the doors.

Ice Storage Bin
To remove:
Lift up the access door to reach the icemaker. Set the icemaker power switch to the O (off) position. With the access door closed, support the storage bin at the bottom while slightly lifting. Pull bin straight out.
To replace:

Important facts about your ice and water dispenser
Do not add ice from trays or bags to the
storage bin. It may not crush or dispense well.
Avoid overfilling glass with ice and use of
narrow or extra-tall glasses. Backed-up ice can jam the chute or cause the door in the chute to freeze shut. If ice is blocking the chute, poke it through with a wooden spoon.
Beverages and foods should not be
quick-chilled in the ice storage bin. Cans, bottles or food packages in the storage bin may cause the icemaker or auger to jam.
To keep dispensed ice from missing
the glass, put the glass close to, but not touching, the dispenser opening.
Some crushed ice may be dispensed
even though you selected Cubed Ice. This happens occasionally when a few cubes accidentally get directed to the crusher .
After crushed ice is dispensed, some
water may drip from the chute.
The first glass of water dispensed may
be warmer than the following ones. This is normal.
A newly installed refrigerator may take 12 to 24 hours to begin making ice.
Automatic Icemaker
A newly-installed refrigerator may take 12–24 hours to begin making ice.
The icemaker will produce seven cubes per cycle—approximately 15 cycles or more in a 24-hour period, depending on freezer compartment temperature, room temperature, number of door openings and other use conditions.
If the refrigerator is operated before the water connection is made to the icemaker, set the power switch to O (off).
When the refrigerator has been connected to the water supply, set the power switch to I (on). The green light will come on.
Throw away the first full bucket of ice. Be sure nothing interferes with the sweep
of the feeler arm. When the bin fills to the level of the feeler
arm, the icemaker will stop producing ice. It is normal for several cubes to be joined
together .
If ice is not used frequently, old ice cubes will become cloudy, taste stale and shrink.
After the icemaker has been turned on again, there will be a delay of about 45 minutes before the icemaker resumes operations.
NOTE: In homes with lower-than-average water pressure, you may hear the icemaker water valve cycle on several times when making one batch of ice. Recommended
water pressure is 60 psi.

About the ice and water dispenser. ElectroluxUSA.com
To Use the Dispenser
Select Cubed Ice , Crushed Ice , or Water . Press the glass gently against the middle
of the dispenser pad. The spill shelf is not self-draining.
To reduce water spotting, the shelf and its grille should be cleaned regularly.
If no water is dispensed when the refrigerator is first installed, there may be air in the water line system. Press the dispenser arm for at least two minutes to remove trapped air from the water line and to fill the water system. To flush out impurities in the water line, throw away the first six glassfuls of water.
CAUTION: Never put fingers
or any other objects into the ice crusher discharge opening.
Locking the Dispenser
Press the LOCK/LIGHT button for 3 seconds to lock the dispenser and control panel. To unlock, press and hold the button again for 3 seconds.
Dispenser Light
This button turns the night light on the dispenser on and off. The light also comes on when the dispenser pad is pressed. If this light burns out, it should be replaced with a 6 watt 12V maximum bulb.
Express Ice
When you need ice in a hurry, press this button to speed up ice production. This will increase ice production for the following 48 hours or until you press the button again.
Door Alarm
To turn the Door Alarm on, press the DOOR ALARM button once. The ACTIVE light will come on. To turn it off, press it again. When the DOOR ALARM is active, the ACTIVE light will flash if you open the door and beep if you keep the door open for more than 2 minutes.

Cleaning the Outside
The spill shelf and the area beneath it should
be cleaned periodically with a mild liquid dish detergent.
Dispenser pad. Before cleaning, lock the dispenser by pressing the LOCK/LIGHT button for 3 seconds to prevent activating the dispenser. Clean with warm water and a mild liquid dish detergent. Rinse thoroughly and wipe dry. Unlock the dispenser by pressing the LOCK/LIGHT button for 3 seconds.
Door handles. Clean with a cloth dampened with soapy water. Dry with a soft cloth.
Keep the outside clean. Wipe with a clean cloth lightly dampened with mild liquid dish detergent. Dry with a clean, soft cloth.
Do not wipe the refrigerator with a soiled dish cloth or wet towel. These may leave a residue that can damage the finish. Do not use scouring pads, powdered cleaners, bleach or cleaners containing bleach because these products can scratch and damage the finish.
Stainless steel. Regularly clean and polish the Stainless Steel Doors with a commercially available stainless steel cleaner .
Do not use appliance wax or polish on the stainless steel.
Cleaning the Inside
Turn off power at the circuit breaker or fuse box before cleaning. If this is not practical,
wring excess moisture out of sponge or cloth when cleaning around switches, lights or controls.
Use warm water and baking soda solution— about a tablespoon (15 ml) of baking soda to a quart (1 liter) of water. This both cleans and neutralizes odors. Thoroughly rinse and wipe dry.
Other parts of the refrigerator, including door gaskets, snack pan and vegetable drawers, ice storage bin and all plastic parts, can be cleaned the same way.
Do not wash the tray or any plastic refrigerator parts in the dishwasher.
Avoid cleaning cold glass shelves with hot water because the extreme temperature difference may cause them to break. Handle glass shelves carefully. Bumping tempered glass can cause it to shatter.
Dispenser drip area.
Care and cleaning of the refrigerator.

For long vacations or absences, remove food and unplug the refrigerator. Clean the interior with a baking soda solution of one tablespoon (15 ml) of baking soda to one quart (1 liter) of water. Leave the doors open.
Set the icemaker power switch to the O (off) position and shut off the water supply to the refrigerator.
If the temperature can drop below freezing, have a qualified servicer drain the water supply system to prevent serious property damage due to flooding.

2 INSTALL WATER LINE
A cold water supply is required for automatic icemaker operation. The water pressure must be between 40 and 120 psi.
Route 1/4″ O.D. copper tubing between cold water line and the water connection location.
Tubing should be long enough to extend to the front of the refrigerator. Allow enough tubing to accommodate bend leading into the water line connection.
NOTE: Certain types of plastic may crack or rupture with age and cause water damage to your home.
Shut off the main water supply.
Turn on the nearest faucet long enough to purge all the water from the line.
Install a shutoff valve between the icemaker water valve and cold water pipe in a basement or cabinet. The shutoff valve should be located where it will be easily accessible.
NOTE: It is best to install the valve into a vertical water pipe. If you install the valve into a horizontal water pipe, make the connection at the top or side to avoid drawing off any sediment from the water pipe.
Drill a 1/4hole in the water pipe.
Fasten the shutoff valve to the pipe with
pipe clamp.
Tighten the clamp screws until the sealing washer begins to swell. Do not
OVERTIGHTEN.
Place a compression nut and ferrule (sleeve) for copper tubing onto the end of the tubing and connect it to the shutoff valve. Make sure the tubing is fully inserted into the valve and ferrule is tightened.
Turn on the main water supply and flush debris. Run about a quart of water through the tubing into a bucket. Shut off water supply at the shutoff valve.
NOTE: Saddle type shutoff valves are included in many water supply kits. Before purchasing, make sure a saddle type valve complies with your local plumbing codes.
NOTE: Commonwealth of Massachusetts Plumbing Codes 248CMR must be adhered to. Saddle valves are illegal and use is not permitted in Massachusetts. Consult with your licensed plumber.

Normal operating sounds.
Newer refrigerators sound different from older refrigerators. Modern refrigerators have more features and use newer technology.
HUMMM...
WHOOSH...
The new high efficiency compressor may run faster and longer than your old refrigerator and you may hear a high-pitched hum or pulsating sound while it is operating.
You may hear a whooshing sound when the doors close. This is due to pressure equalizing within the refrigerator.
You may hear the fans spinning at high speeds. This happens when the refrigerator is first plugged in, when the doors are opened frequently or when a large amount of food is added to the refrigerator or freezer compartments. The fans are helping to maintain the correct temperatures.
If either door is open for over 3 minutes, you may hear the fans come on in order to cool the light bulbs.
The fans change speeds in order to provide optimal cooling and energy savings.
CLICKS , POPS,
CRACKS and CHIRPS
You may hear cracking or popping sounds when the refrigerator is first plugged in. This happens as the refrigerator cools to the correct temperature.
The compressor may cause a clicking or chirping sound when attempting to restart (this could take up to 5 minutes).
The electronic control board may cause a clicking sound when relays activate to control refrigerator components.
Expansion and contraction of cooling coils during and after defrost can cause a cracking or popping sound.
After an icemaking cycle, you may hear the ice cubes dropping into the ice bucket.
WA TER SOUNDS
The flow of refrigerant through the freezer cooling coils may make a gurgling noise like boiling water.
Water dropping on the defrost heater can cause a sizzling, popping or buzzing sound during the defrost cycle.
A water dripping noise may occur during the defrost cycle as ice melts from the evaporator and flows into the drain pan.
Closing the door may cause a gurgling sound due to pressure equalization.
Do you hear what I hear? These sounds are normal.
For additional information on normal icemaker and dispenser operating sounds, see the About the automatic icemaker and About the ice and water dispenser sections.
