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.
Proper Disposal of Refrigerators/Freezers

so the door can be opened wider.
Door Opening
The refrigerator doors are designed to shut by
themselves within 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"
= Allfour corners of the cabinet must rest firmly on
the floor.
o 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).
Doors should align with each other and be level.
All of these conditions can be met by
raising or lowering the adjustable front
rollers,
To level the cabinet using the front rollers:
1 Open both doors and remove the toe grille (see
"Toe Grille Installation and Removal" inthe
"Installation" section).
2 Close the doors and use a fiat-blade screwdriver or
3/8 inch socket wrench to raise or lower the front
rollers.
3 Ensure both doors are bind-free with their seals
touching the cabinet on all four sides.
To level the doors using the adjustable lower
hinge (some models):
1 Before leveling either door, remove set screw that
locks door height into position. (The door cannot
be adjusted without set screw removed).
2 If the refrigerator door is lower than the freezer
door, raise the refrigerator door by turning the
adjustment screw clockwise using a 7/16inch

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.
For proper dispenser operation, recommended water
supply pressure should fall between 30 psi and 100
psi. Excessive pressure may cause water filter to
malfunction.
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 11/2
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).
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, turn the ice maker's
On/Off switch to Off. Otherwise, the ice maker's
fill valve may make a loud chattering noise when it
........attempts to operate without water. ............................................
Turning the 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
extra shelf out (some models). Press the switch to the
"O" position to turn it Off and press to the 'T' position to
turn it On,
I ON
Signal Arrr
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.
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. It can completely fill an ice bin in about two days.
The ice maker produces four to six pounds of ice every
24 hours depending on usage conditions. Ice is produced
at a rate of eight 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.
The ice maker also has a built-in wire signal 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.
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
is jamming 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 ice container as explained below.
* Occasionally shake the ice container to keep ice
separated.
If your refrigerator is not connected to a water
supply or the water supply is turned off, turn off
the ice maker by pressing the On/Off switch.
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 ice
maker 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 ice maker 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.
6 Replace the ice bin. Press the ice maker's Off/On
switch 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.
NEVER use an ice pick or similar sharp instrument to
break up the ice. This could damage the ice storage bin
and dispenser mechanism: ....................................................................................................................................................................................................................
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 air to
leak into the freezer.
Chemicals from a malfunctioning water softener
can damage the ice maker. If 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 clean the ice maker:
1 Turn off ice production by pressing the ice maker's
Off/On switch.
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.
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
flesh 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
(200 gallons/757 liters for PureSource 3TM) 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.
Ordering Replacement Filters
To order your replacement filters, please visit our online
store at www.frigidaire.com/store, by calling toll-free
at 877-808-4195, or by visiting the dealer where you
purchased your refrigerator. Electrolux recommends

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.

2 Remove the filter by pushing on the end/face of the
filter.
3
Slide the old water filter cartridge straight out of the
housing and discard it.
4
Unpackage the new filter cartridge. Using the
alignment guide, slide it gently into the filter housing
until it stops against the snap-in connector at the
back of the housing.
5
Push firmly until the cartridge snaps into
place (you should hear a click as the cartridge
engages the snap=in connector),
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.
7
After f!lling one glass of water, continue flushing the
system for about four minutes.
8
Turn On the ice maker.
9 Press and hold the Water Filter button on the Ice
& Water Dispenser control panel for three seconds.
When the display changes from Red to Green, the
status has been reset.
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.
Energy efficient foam in your refrigerator isnot a sound
nsu ator...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!!!iiii
During automatic defrost cycle, a red glow in the back
wall vents of your freezer compartment is normal.
F Condenser fan You may hear air being forced
through the condenser.
G Compressor Nodern, high-efficiency compressors
run much faster than in the past. The compressor
may have a high-pitched hum or pulsating sound.
H Water valve Nakes a buzzing sound each time it
opens to fill the ice maker.
1[ Drain pan (not removable) You may hear water
dripping into the drain pan during the defrost cycle.
J Condenser May create minimal sounds from
forced air.
!( Motorized damper May produce a light
humming during operation.
L Ice chute When dispensing ice, you will hear
a snapping or clicking sound when the solenoid
opens and closes the ice chute.
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 products 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.
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.
