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

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.

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 7/32″ socket 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.

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.

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.

CUSTOMIZATION BASICS:
Stainless Steel Wrapped Models
Stainless Steel Wrapped Refrigerators
Stainless Steel wrapped refrigerators have
wrapped doors and grille panels, and beveled
edges. These models are shipped ready for
installation.
Trimmed Models
Trimmed Refrigerator Panels
Trimmed refrigerators are designed to be
customized with decorative panels. Field
installed custom door and grille panels are
required. There are three custom panel
options. You can install a 1/4″ framed panel,
a 3/4″ framed custom panel or a 3/4″ full-
width overlay custom panel.
1/4″ Framed Panels
You may install 1/4″ thick custom panels from
your cabinet manufacturer. The decorative
panel slides into the factory installed trim.
Door Handles On Trimmed Refrigerators
The handles can be used to accommodate
both framed or custom panels.
NOTE: For 3/4″ custom panels, please refer
to diagrams on page 23 for optimum handle
clearance.
3/4″ Framed Custom Panels
3/4″ framed custom panels are secured
to a 1/4″ finished backer panel. They are
designed to slide into the factory installed
trim, no kits required. The backer panel
will be exposed on the handle side and
therefore must be finished.
3/4″ Full-Width Overlay Custom Panels
3/4″ full-width overlay custom panels are
designed to slide into the factory installed
trim, no kits required. In this design, you
can achieve a nearly trimless appearance. A
spacer panel must be installed between the
finished backer and appearance panel. The
backer panel will be exposed on the handle
side and therefore must be finished.

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 1/4″ hole 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.
