• Consider water supply availability for
models equipped with an automatic ice
maker. If you do not hook up water to
the refrigerator, remember to turn the ice
maker off.
DoNot install the refrigerator where the
temperature will drop below 55°F (13°C) or
rise above 110°F (43°C). The compressor
will not be able to maintain proper
temperatures inside the refrigerator.
Do Not block the toe grille on the lower front
of your refrigerator. Sufficient air circulation
is essential for the proper operation of your

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:
= 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).
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 roUers:
1 Open both doors and remove the toe
grille (see "Toe Grille Installation and
Removal" in the "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.
Raise
To level the doors using the adjustable
lower hinge (some models):
Before leveling either door, remove set
screw that locks door height into position.
(The door cannot be adjusted without set
screw removed).
If the refrigerator door is lower than the
freezer door, raise the refrigerator door by
turning the adjustment screw clockwise
using a 7/i6 inch wrench. (See illustration.)
If the freezer door is lower than the
refrigerator door, raise the freezer door by
turning the adjustment screw clockwise
using a V16 inch wrench. (See illustration.)

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.frigidaire.com/store for more
information.

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 time& This system needs to be
completely filled with water when first connected
to an external supply line.
For proper dispenser operation, recommended pounds of ice every 24 hours, depending on
water supply pressure should fall between 30 usage conditions. ]:cois produced at a rate of 8
psi and 100 psi. Excessive pressure may cause cubes every 75 to 90 minutes.
water filter to malfunction, Using the Ice Maker after
To prime the water supply system: Installation
Begin filling the tank by pressing and holding
a drinking glass against the water dispenser
paddle.
Keep the glass in this position until water
comes out of the dispenser. :It may take
about 11/= 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.
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 isinstalled
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.
Ice Production: What to Expect
How Much Ice Will a Side Mounted Ice
Maker Produce in 24 Hours?
A side mounted icemaker will produce 4 to 4.5
pounds of ice every 24 hours, depending on
usage conditions. Ice is produced at a rate of 8
cubes every 75 to 90 minutes.
How Much Ice Will a Rear Mounted :ice
Maker Produce in 24 Hours?
A rear mounted ice maker will produce 3 to 4
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
with the wire signal arm in the ON position
(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 UP position (side mounted)
or turn the On/Off switch to the Off (O)
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

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 icecubes
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.
o 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.
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.
Chemicalsfromamalfunctioningwater Whenremovingorreplacingtheice bin,

water supply to your refrigerator is softened, If the auger is accidentally rotated, you
be sure the softener is maintained to work
properly, must realign the auger by turning it in 90
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 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.
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.
Auger
NEVER use an ice pick or similar sharp
instrument to break up the ice. This could
damage the ice storage bin and dispenser
mechanism.

Locating the Filter
Your refrigerator is equipped with a water
filtering system. The water filter system filters
all dispensed drinking water, as well as the
water used to produce ice.
Air Filter (some models)
The air filter is located at the top of the fresh
food compartment next to the water filter.
Replacing the Air Filter
In general, you should change the air filter
every six months (the filter status light on the
control panel prompts you to replace the filter
after six months) to ensure optimal filtering
of refrigerator odors. You may want to adjust
this time period depending on the types and
amounts of food you typically store in your
refrigerator. To replace your PureSource
Ultra TM air filter:
1 Pull the air filter housing straight out.
2 Remove the old filter and discard it.
3 Unpack the new filter and place it inside
the housing.
4 Slide the housing back into position.
Air Filter
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 (200
gallons/757 liters for PureSource Ultra TM
and PureSource 3 TM) 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
]:f your refrigerator is equipped with a
PureSource 3 TM water filter, it can be
replaced with a PureSource Ultra TM water
filter. Replacing your PureSource 3TM water
filter with a PureSource Ultra TM water
filter removes more potential contaminants
as tested by NSF.The contaminants or other
substances removed or reduced by this
water filter are not necessarily in all users'
water,
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

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.
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.
Compressor Modern, high-efficiency
compressors run much faster than in the
past. The compressor may have a high-
pitched hum or pulsating sound.
H Water valve Makes 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.
K Motorized damper May produce a light
humming during operation.
Ice chute When dispensing ice, you will
hear a snapping or clicking sound when
the solenoid opens and closes the ice
chute.
Energy efficient foam in your refrigerator is
not a sound insulator.
During automatic defrost cycle, a red glow
in the back wall vents of your freezer
compartment is normal.
