Door Opening To level the doors using the adjustable
lower hinge:
The refrigerator doors are designed to shut
by themselveswith!n a 20 degree opening. 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 1/4inch (6 mm) from
front to back (to ensure that doors close
and seal properly).

e
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 softener can damage the ice maker. If the ice
maker is connected to soft water, ensure that the softener is maintained and
working properly.
Ensure that your water supply line
connections comply with all local plumbing
codes
Before Instelling 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 1/4inch (6.4mm) 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
i!
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.fdgidaire.com/store for more
information.
To Connect Water Supply Line To Ice Maker Inlet Valve
1 Disconnect refrigerator from electric power
source.
Place 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.
3
Remove plastic cap from water valve inlet and discard cap.
4
If 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 (1/4inch/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.
With steel clamp and screw, secure water supply line (copper tubing only) to rear panel of refrigerator as shown.
Coil excess water supply line (copper tubing only), about 21/2turns, behind refrigerator as shown and arrange coils so they do not vibrate or wear against any
other surface.
7
Turn ON water supply at shutoff valve and tighten any connections that leak.
8
Reconnect refrigerator to electrical power source.
9
To turn ice maker on, lower wire signal arm (side mounted) or set the ice maker's On/Off power switch to the 'T' position (rear mounted).

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
When changing control settings, wait 24 hours for the temperature to stabilize before making additional changes.
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 two-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.

TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT
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.
(Single Digit Display = Features may vary.)
ALARMS
Power Fail
In the event of a power failure, the 'power fail' alarm will sound three times. The 'power fail' alarm is an audible alarm only and does not display in the control panel,
High Temperature
When a warm refrigerator is first powered on, the 'power fail' alarm will sound and the current set points will be displayed for a few seconds. After 20 minutes the 'high temp' alarm will sound if the freezer temperature is above 26°F or if the fresh food temperature is above 55°F (or both are above).
If the unit is above the temperatures mentioned in the paragraph above, the affected compartment temperature display (fresh food, freezer or both) on the control panel will display
'HI' and an alarm will sound. To disable the alarm press any key on the control panel. After
which the control panel will then show the display temperature. The unit will continue to monitor the product temperatures for 'high temp' condition every 20 minutes. If the 'high temp'
condition persists, the alarm will sound again and can be reset again. Contact a customer service representative if the high temp alarm continues.
The audible portion of the alarm will silence itself once the product temperature is below 26°F for the freezer temperature and 55°F for the flesh food temperature. The control panel will still show 'HI' until it is acknowledged by the user by pressing any key on the control panel. After which the control panel will then show the display temperature.
Door Ajar
If the door has been left open for an extended period of time an alarm will sound. (Some models will have a 'door ajar' indicator on the control panel). The alarm will continue to sound
until the door is closed.
Alarm Hute
Alarms can be muted (except 'power fail') by pressing a key combination on the control panel. Press and hold the 'freezer temperature up' key while at the same time pressing the 'fresh food temperature down' key three times. This sequence must be completed within 5 seconds for the alarms to be muted. Once the alarms have been muted, they will stay muted even if the refrigerator is powered down. To turn the alarm sounds back on, use the same key combination
that was used to mute alarms.
IF TEMPERATURE DISPLAYS FLASH...
If ever you see "OP" or "SH" flashing, it may indicate that the control system has detected a performance problem. Call your service representative, who can interpret the flashing message.
To maintain temperatures, a fan circulates air in the refrigerator and freezer compartments. For good circulation, do not block cold air vents with food items.

paddle. To stop dispensing water, pull the glass away from the dispensing paddle. Dispensed water is not cold. For colder water, add crushed ice or cubes before dispensing water. A drip tray located at the base of the dispenser catches small spills and allows them to evaporate. This drip tray is removable and dishwasher safe. Do not pour water and excess ice in this area because there is no drain.
Priming the Water Supply System
Your refrigerator's water supply system includes several tubing lines, an advanced water filter, a distribution valve bank, and a reserve tank to ensure ample supply to the ice and water dispenser at all times. This system needs to be completely filled with water when first connected to an external supply line.
Ice Maker Operation & Care
The ice maker, ice bin, and dispenser feeding
mechanism are located in the top of the freezer compartment. After the refrigerator is installed
properly and has cooled for several hours, the
ice maker can produce ice within 24 hours. ]:t can completely fill an ice bin in about two days.
Ice Production: What to Expect
How Huch Ice Will a Side Hountad Ice
Haker Produce in 24 Hours?
For proper dispenser operation, recommended
water supply pressure should fall between 30 A side mounted ice maker will produce 4 to 4.5
psi and 100 psi. Excessive pressure may cause pounds of ice every 24 hours, depending on
filtertomalfunction.
water
To prime the water supply system:
1 Begin filling the tank 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 :[1/z minutes.
3 Continue dispensing water for about four
minutes to flush the system and plumbing connections of any impurities (stopping to empty the glass as necessary).
The water dispenser has a built-in device that shuts off the water flow after three minutes of continuous use. To reset this shutoff
device, simply release the dispenser paddle, with the wire signal arm in the ON position
usage conditions. Ice is produced at a rate of 8 cubes every 75 to 90 minutes.
How Much :Ice Will a Rear Mounted :Ice
Haker Produce in 24 Hours?
A rear mounted ice maker will produce 3 to 4
pounds of ice every 24 hours, depending on
usage conditions. Ice is produced at a rate of 8 cubes every 75 to 90 minutes.
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.
Your ice maker is shipped from the factory
(side mounted) or with the switch turned ON (rear mounted). To ensure proper function of your ice maker, hook up water supply
immediately or turn ice maker OFF by lifting the wire signal arm until it clicks and locks in the UPposition (side mounted) or turn the
On/Off switch to the Off (0) position (rear mounted). If the ice maker is not turned off
and the water supply is not connected, the water valve will make a loud chattering noise.

Turning the SIDE MOUNTED Ice Maker On and Off
To begin ice production, lower the wire signal arm to the DOWN or ON position. The ice maker turns off automatically when the ice container becomes full. To stop the ice maker, raise the wire signal arm until it clicks and locks in the UP or OFF position.
Turning the REAR MOUNTED Ice Maker On and Off
Ice production is controlled by the ice maker's ON/OFF power switch. To gain access to the ice maker, pull the ice cream shelf out. Press the switch to the "0" position to turn it Off and press it to the 'T' position to turn it On. The ice maker also has a built-in wire signal arm, which automatically stops ice production when the ice bin is full. DO NOT use this signal arm to manually stop the ice maker,

Signal Arm
halArm
Small ice cubes or ice chips jamming in the ice maker may be a sign that your water filter needs changing. If you have a side mounted ice maker you may also experience hollow cubes partially frozen cubes with water inside. When these cubes are harvested, they break open and spill water over the other ice cubes in the ice container, forming a solid mass of
ice. 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. The ice maker can't fill every cube in the ice maker mold, leading to small cubes or chips that can get caught between the ice ejector blades and the stripper. Remember, if your ice maker isjamming with small ice cubes or 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.
Ice Maker/Dispenser Tips
Ice cubes stored too long may develop an odd flavor. Empty the icecontainer as
explained below.
, Occasionally shake the ice container to keep
iceseparated.
, If your refrigerator is not connected to a
water supply or the water supply is turned off, turn Off the ice maker.
, If you need a large quantity of ice at one
time, it is best to get cubes directly from the
ice container.
The following sounds are normal when the
icemaker is operating:
Motor running
Ice dropping into ice container Water valve opening or closing
Ice loosening from tray
Running water
, When dispensing ice, you will hear a
snapping or clicking sound when the ice chute opens and closes.
, Turn Off the icemaker when cleaning the
freezer and during vacations.
If you turn Off the ice maker for a
long period of time, you should also
turn off the water supply valve.
Chemicals from a malfunctioning water softener can damage the ice maker. ]:f the water supply to your refrigerator is softened,
be sure the softener is maintained to work
properly.
Cleaning the Ice Maker
Clean the ice maker and ice bin at regular intervals, particularly before you take a
vacation or move.
To dean the ice maker:
1 Turn Off the ice maker. 2 Remove the ice bin by lifting up and out. 3 Empty and carefully clean the ice bin with
mild detergent. Rinse with clear water. Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaners.
4 Allow the ice bin to dry completely before
replacing in the freezer.
5 Remove ice chips and clean the ice bin
shelf and the freezer door chute.
6 Replace the ice bin. Turn On the ice maker
to resume ice production.
Remove and empty the ice storage bin if:
= An extended power failure (one hour or
longer) causes ice cubes in the ice storage 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 storage bin and shake to loosen the cubes or clean as explained above.
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 90 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
only dispense Crushed Ice. The freezer door may also not close properly causing warm

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. 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 ice cubes falling into the ice bin.
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 in the past. The compressor may have a high- pitched hum or pulsating sound.

During automatic defrost cycle, a red glow in the back wall vents of your freezer compartment is normal.
Protecting your investment
Keeping your refrigerator clean maintains appearance and prevents odor build-up. Wipe up any spills immediately and clean the freezer and fresh food compartments at least twice a year. When cleaning, take the following precautions:
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.
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.
Do not use abrasive cleaners such as window sprays, scouring cleansers, brushes, flammable fluids, cleaning waxes, concentrated detergents, bleaches or cleansers containing petroleum
)roducts on plastic parts, interior doors, gaskets or cabinet liners. Do not use paper towels,
metallic scouring pads, or other abrasive cleaning materials or strong alkaline solutions.
]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.
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.
Sudden temperature changes can cause glass breakage.
]:f 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
