until you have read the safety precautions
in this manual. Safety items throughout this
manual are labeled with a Danger, Warning,
or Caution based on the risk type.

Definitions

This is the safety alert symbol. It is
used to alert you to potential personal
injury hazards. Obey all safety messages
that follow this symbol to avoid possible
injury or death.

DANGER

DANGER indicates an imminently hazardous
situation which, if not avoided, will result in
death or serious injury.

General Safety

WARNING

• Do not operate the refrigerator in the
presence of explosive fumes.

• Avoid contact with any moving parts
of the automatic ice maker.

• Remove all staples from the carton to
avoid injury. Staples can also damage
finishes if they come in contact with
other appliances or furniture.

Child Safety

Packing Materials:

• Packing cartons covered with rugs,
bedspreads, plastic sheets, or stretch
wrap may become airtight chambers
and can quickly cause suffocation.

• Destroy or recycle the product’s carton,
plastic bags, and any other exterior
wrapping material immediately after
the refrigerator is unpacked. Children
should never play with these items.

Child Entrapment and Suffocation:

• These problems are not limited to the
past. Whether junked, abandoned,
or temporarily stored (even for a few
hours), unattended refrigerators and
freezers are dangerous. Please take
the precautions listed below.

Proper Disposal of Refrigerators/
Freezers

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

Before you recycle or dispose of your
old refrigerator/freezer:

• Remove the doors.

• Leave the shelves and baskets in place
so children may not easily climb inside.

• Have refrigerant and compressor oil
removed by a qualified service technician.

Please read all safety instructions before
using your new refrigerator.

• Do not store or use gasoline or other
flammable liquids near this or any
other appliance. Read product labels
for warnings regarding flammability
and other hazards.

Safety

Electrical information

WARNING

You must follow these guidelines to
ensure that your refrigerator’s safety
mechanisms are operating correctly.

• The refrigerator must be plugged into
its own dedicated 115 Volt, 60 Hz,
AC-only non-GFCI electric 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. Do not use an
extension cord or adapter plug.

• If the power cord is damaged,
it should be replaced by the
manufacturer, service technician, or a
qualified person.

• 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.

• To avoid electrical shock, unplug the
refrigerator before cleaning and before
replacing a LED light.

• 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 outlet
controlled by a wall switch or pull cord
to prevent the refrigerator from being
turned off accidentally.

IMPORTANT

To turn off power to your refrigerator,
unplug the power cord from the wall
outlet.

Cabinet Leveling & Re­frigerator Door Alignment
(if necessary)

Guidelines for final positioning of your
refrigerator:

• All four corners of the cabinet must
rest firmly on the floor.

• The front should be slightly elevated
to ensure that doors close and seal
properly.

• Doors should align with each other
and be level.

Most of these conditions can be met by
raising or lowering the adjustable front rollers.

To level the cabinet using the front rollers:
1 Slightly open freezer drawer if the toe

grill is installed. Lift the toe grille and
gently pull forward.

2 Make initial cabinet adjustments by using

the front roller height adjusting screws.
Use a 3/8 inch socket wrench to turn the
adjustment screws (1 per side).

To raise: turn adjustment screw

clockwise.

To lower: turn adjustment screw

counterclockwise.

3 Ensure both doors are bind-free with

their seals touching the cabinet on all
four sides and that cabinet is stable.

4 After unit is leveled, lower anti-tip leg

using a 3/8 inch socket wrench until
it firmly contacts the floor.

Connecting the Water Supply

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 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
softener can damage the ice maker.
If the ice maker is connected to soft
water, ensure that the softener is
maintained and working properly.

15

Before installing the water supply line,
you will need:

1. Basic Tools: adjustable wrench,
flat-blade screwdriver, and PhillipsTM
screwdriver

2. Access to a household cold water
line with water pressure between 30
and 100 psi.

3. 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.

4. A shutoff valve to connect the water
supply line to your household water
system.

5. Do NOT reuse compression fitting or
use thread seal tape.

6. A compression nut and ferrule
(sleeve) for connecting a copper
water supply line to the ice maker
inlet valve.

NOTE

IMPORTANT

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

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. (1.8 meters) Stainless Steel Water
Line and for homes without an existing
valve, Electrolux recommends its Smart
Choice® water line kit 5305510264 with
a 20 ft. (6 meters) Copper Water Line
with self-tapping saddle valve). Please
refer to www.electroluxappliances.com
for more information.

Dispenser Model
Automatic Ice Maker/Water Dispenser

Priming the water supply
system

CAUTION

For proper dispenser operation,
recommended water supply pressure
should fall between 30 psi and 100 psi.
Excessive pressure may cause water
filter to malfunction.

1 Begin filling the filter by pressing and

holding a drinking glass against the
water dispenser paddle.

2 Keep the

glass in this
position
until water
comes
out of the
dispenser.
It may take
about 1½
minutes.

3 Continue dispensing water for about three

minutes to flush the system and plumbing
connections of any impurities (stopping to
empty the glass as necessary).

NOTE

The water dispenser has a built-in device that
shuts off the water flow after two minutes of
continuous use. To reset this shutoff device,
simply release the dispenser paddle.

Ice maker operation & care

After the refrigerator is installed properly and
has cooled for several hours, the ice maker
can start producing ice within 24 hours. The
ice maker will fill the ice bin from the rear.
You must dispense some ice to force the ice
forward in the bin. Full bin should be expected
after 48 to 60 hours with no ice usage. Ice
rate is 2.3 lbs. per day. For extra capacity you
can add an ice maker kit for the freezer.

IMPORTANT

Your ice maker is turned on at the factory
so it can work as soon as you install
your refrigerator. If you cannot connect a
water supply, set the ice maker’s On/Off
icon to Off and turn off the water supply
valve; otherwise, the ice maker’s fill valve
may make a loud chattering noise when
it attempts to operate without water.

Turning the fresh food ice maker
on and off

Ice production is controlled by the ice maker’s
On/Off icon on the control panel. Press and
hold the Ice Off icon for three seconds to
turn the ice maker ON or OFF. If there is no
indicator, then the ice maker is ON.

IMPORTANT

Turning off the ice maker stops ice
production only.

NOTE

The ice maker also has a built-in signal
bale arm that automatically stops ice
production when the ice bin is full.
This signal arm should not be used to
manually stop the ice maker.

Using the ice maker after installation

Before making ice for the first time, be sure
to prime the water supply system. Air in new
plumbing lines can result in two or three
empty ice maker cycles. Furthermore, if the
system is not flushed, the first ice cubes may
be discolored or have an odd flavor.

IMPORTANT

On occasion, unusually small ice cubes may
be noticed in the bucket or in dispensed
ice. This could occur in normal operation
of the ice maker. If you start seeing these
more frequently, it may be an indication of
low water pressure or the water filter needs
to be replaced. As the water filter nears the
end of its useful life and becomes clogged
with particles, less water is delivered to the
ice maker during each cycle. Remember, if
it’s been six months or longer since you last
changed your water filter, replace the water
filter with a new one. Poor quality household
water may require the filter to be changed
more frequently.

Automatic Ice Maker/Water Dispenser

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

• 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.

CAUTION

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

the ice
bin by
pulling
straight
out.

3 Empty

and
carefully
clean the ice bin with mild detergent.
Do not use harsh or abrasive
cleaners. Rinse with clear water.

4 Allow the ice bin to dry completely

before replacing.

5 Replace the ice bin. Turn the ice

maker on.

Removing Ice Bin

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.

CAUTION

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

To loosen stuck ice, use warm water.
Before replacing the ice bin, make sure
it is completely dry.

IMPORTANT

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 fresh food
compartment.

Ice maker operation &
care (select models)

After the refrigerator is installed properly,
the ice maker can produce ice within 24
hours. It can completely fill an ice bin in
about three days.

When using the ice maker for the first
time and in order for the ice maker to
work properly, it is necessary to clear air
from water filter tubing. Once ice maker
begins making ice, allow the bucket to
fill completely, then discard the first TWO
FULL buckets of ice. It will take at least
two days to completely fill the bucket on
regular ice making mode or 1½ days on
fast ice mode.

The ice maker produces approximately
four pounds of ice every 24 hours
depending on usage conditions.

IMPORTANT

Your ice maker is turned on at the
factory so it can work as soon as you
install your refrigerator. If you cannot
connect a water supply, lift the ice
maker’s wire signal arm to turn it off.
Otherwise, the ice maker’s fill valve may
make a loud chattering noise when it
attempts to operate without water.

Storing Food and Saving Energy

Ideas for storing foods

Fresh food storage

• Keep the fresh food compartment
between 37°F and 40°F with an
optimum temperature of 37°F.

• Avoid overcrowding the refrigerator
shelves, which reduces air circulation
and causes uneven cooling.

• Avoid placing food in front of air ports.
(See Controls Section for illustration.)

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 Cool Zone drawer or Perfect
TempTM drawer and set to meat/
poultry setting 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 2/3 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
fast 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 fast 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
using more energy and freezing food.

• 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.

Normal Operating Sounds

33

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:

A Evaporator Refrigerant through the

evaporator may create a boiling or
gurgling sound.

B Evaporator fan You may hear air

being forced through the refrigerator
by the evaporator fan.

C Defrost heater During defrost

cycles, water dripping onto the
defrost heater may cause a hissing
or sizzling sound. After defrosting, a
popping sound may occur.

D Automatic ice maker When ice

has been produced, you will hear

Changing The Water and Air Filters

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 fresh food compartment.

Replacing the Water Filter

In general, 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 (125 gallons/473 liters for
PureAdvantage UltraTM) has flowed through
the system.

If your refrigerator has not been used for a
period of time (during moving for example),
change the filter before reinstalling the
refrigerator.

Filter Cartridge

NOTE

When ordering your replacement filter,
please reorder the same filter type that is
currently in your refrigerator.

More about your Advanced Water Filter

The PureAdvantage UltraTM
ice and water filter system is
tested and certified to NSF/ANSI
Standards 43, 53 and 401 for
the reduction of claims specified
on the performance data sheet.

Do not use with water that is
microbiologically unsafe or of unknown
quality without adequate disinfection before
or after the system. Systems certified for
cyst reduction may be used on disinfected
waters that may contain filterable cysts.

Test & certification results:

• Rated Capacity - 125 gallons/473 liters for
PureAdvantage UltraTM ice and water filter

• Rated service flow - .65 gallons per minute

• Operating Temp: Min. 33°F, Max. 100°F

• Maximum Rated Pressure ­100pounds per square inch

• Recommended Minimum Operating
Pressure: 30pounds per square inch

To replace your PureAdvantage UltraTM water filter:
It is not necessary to turn the water supply

off to change the filter. Be ready to wipe
up any small amounts of water released
during the filter replacement.

1 Turn Off the ice maker power switch.
2 Remove the old filter by rotating it

counter-clockwise (to the left) 90
degrees to release it.

3 Slide the old filter cartridge straight

out of the housing and discard it.

4 Unpackage the new filter cartridge.

Slide it into the filter housing as far as
it will go with the grip end horizontal.

5 Push lightly inward on the filter while

rotating it clockwise (to the right). The
filter will then pull itself inward as it is
rotated. Rotate the filter 90 degrees
until it stops and the grip end is
vertical. You may be able to feel a very
light click as the filter locks into place.

6 Press a drinking glass against the

water dispenser while checking for
any leaks at the filter housing. Any
spurts and sputters that occur as
the system purges air out of the
dispenser system are normal.

Care and Cleaning

Protecting your investment

Keeping your refrigerator clean maintains its appearance and prevents odor build-up.
Wipe up any spills immediately and clean the freezer and fresh food compartments at
least twice a year.

NOTE

Do not use abrasive cleaners such as window sprays, scouring cleansers, flammable
fluids, cleaning waxes, concentrated detergents, bleaches, or cleansers containing
petroleum products on plastic parts, interior doors, gaskets, or cabinet liners. Do not
use paper towels, scouring pads, or other abrasive cleaning materials.

• Never use metallic scouring pads, brushes, abrasive cleaners, or strong alkaline
solutions on any surface.

• Never use CHLORIDE or cleaners with bleach to clean stainless steel.

• Do not wash any removable parts in a dishwasher.

• Always unplug the electrical power cord from the wall outlet before cleaning.

NOTE

If you set your temperature controls to turn off cooling, power to lights and other
electrical components will continue until you unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.

• Remove adhesive labels by hand. Do not use razor blades or other sharp
instruments which can scratch the appliance surface.

• Do not remove the serial plate. Removal of your serial plate voids your warranty.

• Before moving your refrigerator, raise the anti-tip brackets so the rollers will work
correctly. This will prevent the floor from being damaged.

CAUTION

• Pull the refrigerator straight out to move it. Shifting it from side to side may
damage flooring. Be careful not to move the refrigerator beyond the plumbing
connections.

• Damp objects stick to cold metal surfaces. Do not touch refrigerated surfaces with
wet or damp hands.

IMPORTANT

If you store or move your refrigerator in freezing temperatures, be sure to completely drain
the water supply system. Failure to do so could result in water leaks when the refrigerator
is put back into service. Contact a service representative to perform this operation.

Refer to the guide on the next page for details on caring and cleaning specific areas of
your refrigerator.

Solutions to Common Problems

Before you call...

If you experience a problem with your refrigerator or notice a product behavior or
condition that you do not understand, you can usually avoid a call to your service
representative by referring to this section for an answer. Beginning with the following
table, this information includes common concerns, causes, and suggested solutions.

Concern Potential Cause Common Solution
Automatic Ice Maker

Ice maker is
not making
any ice.

• Ice maker is turned off.

• Refrigerator is not
connected to water line or
water valve is not open.

• The water supply line is
kinked.

• The water filter is not
seated properly.

• The water filter may be
clogged with foreign
material.

• Freezer ice maker wire
signal arm is being held
up by an item not allowing
it to go in the on or down
position.

• Turn on ice maker. For the fresh food
ice maker, press ice maker on-off
once. For the freezer ice maker,
lower the arm to turn the ice maker
on, or raise it and snap it in its upper
position to turn the ice maker off.

• Connect the unit to the household
water supply and ensure the water
valve is open.

• Ensure that the supply line does not
kink when the refrigerator is pushed
into place against the wall.

• Remove and re-install the water
filter. Be sure to rotate it fully into the
locked position position.

• If water dispenses slowly or not at
all, or if the filter is six months old or
older, it should be replaced.

• Move any item or frozen ice cubes
that may block the signal arm from
being in the on or down position.
Additionally, the ice bin itself may be
out of position so that it prevents the
signal arm from dropping all the way
down. Be sure the bin is pushed all
the way to the rear of the shelf. See
Automatic Ice Maker-Freezer section
in manual.

Solutions to Common Problems

Concern Potential Cause Common Solution
Automatic Ice Maker (Cont’d)

Ice maker is
not making
enough ice.

Freezer ice
maker will
not stop
making
ice (select
models).

Ice cubes
are freezing
together.

• Ice maker is producing
less ice than you expect.

• The water filter may be
clogged with foreign
material.

• The water supply line is
kinked.

• Saddle valve on cold
water pipe is clogged
or restricted by foreign
material.

• Heavy traffic, opening
or closing of the doors
excessively.

• Freezer control is set too
warm (freezer ice maker).

• Water pressure is
extremely low. Cut-off and
cut-on pressures are too
low (well systems only).

• Reverse osmosis system
is in regenerative phase.

• Ice maker wire signal arm
is being held down by a
package in the freezer
that has fallen against ice
maker.

• Ice cubes are not being
used frequently enough or
interruption of power for
prolonged time.

• Ice cubes are hollow
(shells of ice with water
inside). The hollow cubes
break open in the bin
and leak their water onto
existing ice, which causes
it to freeze together.

• The ice maker will produce
approximately 2.3 pounds of ice (fresh
food ice maker) and 2.5 pounds of
ice (freezer ice maker) every 24 hours
depending on usage conditions.

• If water dispenses slower than
normal, or if the filter is six months
old or older, it should be replaced.

• Ensure that the supply line does not
kink when the refrigerator is pushed
into place against the wall.

• Turn off household water line
valve. Remove valve. Ensure that
valve is not a self-piercing saddle
valve. Clean valve. Replace valve if
necessary.

• Press Fast Freeze to temporarily
increase ice production rate. (Freezer
ice maker only.)

• Set freezer control to colder setting
to improve performance of the ice
maker (freezer ice maker). Allow 24
hours for temperature to stabilize.

• Have someone turn up the cut-off
and cut-on pressure on the water
pump system (well systems only).

• It is normal for a reverse osmosis
system to be below 20 psi during the
regenerative phase.

• Move any item or frozen ice cubes
that may block the signal arm from
being in the off or upward position.
See Automatic Ice Maker-Freezer
section in manual.

• Remove ice container and discard
ice. The ice maker will produce fresh
supply. Ice should be used at least
twice weekly to keep the cubes
separated.

• This generally occurs when the ice
maker does not get enough water.
This is usually the result of a clogged
water filter or restricted water supply.
Replace the water filter and if the
condition still occurs check for a
Saddle Valve, water valve not turned
on all the way or kinked water supply
line.
