Location
Choose a place that is near a grounded electrical outlet. Do Not use an extension
cord or an adapter plug.
If possible, place the refrigerator out of direct sunlight and away from the range,
dishwasher or other heat sources.
The refrigerator must be installed on a floor
that is level and strong enough to support
a fully loaded refrigerator.
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.)

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 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 "O" 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,

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.

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.

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 visiting the dealer where you purchased your refrigerator. Frigidaire recommends that you order extra filters when you first install your refrigerator, and that you replace your filters at least once every six months.

1 Turn Off the ice maker.
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. 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.
Push firmly until the cartridge snaps into place (you should hear a click as the
cartridge engages the snap-in connector).
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.
After filling one glass of water, continue flushing the system for about four
minutes.

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.

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.
