IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Grounding type wall receptacle

Power cord with 3-prong grounded plug

Do not, under any circumstances, cut, remove, or bypass the grounding prong.

Proper Disposal of 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”. When disposing of an old refrigerator or freezer, please follow the instructions below to help prevent accidents.

Proper Disposal of Refrigerators/Freezers

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

Before disposing of an old refrigerator/ freezer:

• Remove doors.

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

• Have refrigerant

removed by a qualied service technician.

IMPORTANT

CFC/HCFC Disposal

Some old refrigerators may have a cooling

system that used CFCs or HCFCs (chlorouorocarbons or hydrochlorouorocarbons). CFCs

and HCFCs are believed to harm stratospheric ozone if released to the atmosphere. Other refrigerants may also cause harm to the environment if released to the atmosphere.

If disposing of an old refrigerator, make sure the refrigerant is removed for proper disposal by a qualied technician. Intentionally released refrigerant may subject one to

nes and imprisonment under provisions of

environmental legislation.

Electrical information

• The refrigerator must be plugged into its own dedicated 115 Volt, 60 Hz., 15 Amp, AC only electrical outlet. The power

cord of the appliance is equipped with a

three-prong grounding plug for 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 qualied electrician. Avoid connecting

refrigerator to a Ground Fault Interrupter (GFI) circuit. Do not use an extension cord or adapter plug.

• If the power cord is damaged, it should be replaced by an authorized service technician to prevent any risk.

• Never unplug the refrigerator by pulling on the power cord. Always grip the

plug rmly, and pull straight out from

the receptacle to prevent damaging the power cord.

• Unplug the refrigerator before cleaning and before replacing a light bulb to avoid electrical shock.

• Performance may be affected if the voltage varies by 10% or more. Operating

the refrigerator with insufcient power

can damage the compressor. Such damage is not covered under the warranty.

• Do not plug the unit into an electrical outlet controlled by a wall switch or pull cord to prevent the refrigerator from being turned off accidentally.

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.

• A shutoff valve to connect the water supply line to the household water system. DO NOT use a self-piercing type shutoff valve.

• Do not re-use compression tting or use

thread seal tape.

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

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 water softener can damage the ice maker. If a water softening system is present, ensure the softener is maintained and working properly.

IMPORTANT

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

To install the water supply line, the following are needed:

• Basic Tools: adjustable wrench, at-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 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 the cold water pipe. Then add approximately 7 feet (2.1 meters), so the refrigerator can be moved out for cleaning.

NOTE



Check with local building authority for recommendations on water lines and associated materials prior to installing refrigerator. Depending on local/state building codes, Frigidaire recommends for homes with existing valves its Smart Choice® water line kit 5304437642 with a 6 ft. (1.8 meters) Stainless Steel Water Line. Please refer to www.frigidaire.com/ Filters--Accessories/Refrigerator-Accessories/ for more information.

Page 16

USING THE DISPENSER

Using the ice maker after installation

Before making ice for the rst 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 ushed, the rst ice cubes may be discolored or have an odd avor.

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 the system to malfunction.

1 Begin lling the system by pressing and

holding a drinking glass against the dispenser.

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 four

minutes to ush the system and plumbing

connections of any impurities (stopping to empty the glass as necessary).

NOTE



After the initial 26 ounces (750 ml), water will remain room temperature until the tank

has relled and been given enough time to

chill the next 26 ounces (750 ml) of water. May take up to 8 hours to chill.

Ice maker operation & care

After the refrigerator is installed properly and has cooled for several hours, the ice maker can produce ice within 24 hours. The ice maker will

ll the ice bin from the rear. Dispense some

ice to force the ice forward in the bin. This will

allow the bin to ll completely.

Ice Maker and Storage Bin Capacity

This ice maker should produce 2 to 3 pounds of ice per 24 hours. The ice bin will hold about 4 pounds of ice.

Turning the fresh food ice maker on and off

IMPORTANT

The ice maker is turned on at the factory so it can work as soon as the refrigerator is installed. If it is not possible to connect a water supply, set the ice maker’s On/Off

feature to Off; otherwise, the ice maker’s ll

valve may make a loud chattering noise when it attempts to operate without water.

Dispenser

NOTE



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

Ice production is controlled by the ice maker’s On/Off feature on the control panel. Pressing the On/Off feature turns the ice maker on & of f.

NOTE



The ice maker also has a built-in plastic 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.

IMPORTANT

Turning off the ice maker simply disables ice making. Existing ice can still be dispensed, and water can be dispensed.

Page 17

USING THE DISPENSER

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 happening frequently, it may be

an indication of low water pressure or the

water lter needs to be replaced. As the water lter 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 last changing the water lter, replace it with a new one. Poor quality household water may require the lter to be changed more frequently.

CAUTION

If the water supply to the refrigerator is softened, be sure the softener is properly maintained. Chemicals from a water softener can damage the ice maker.

Ice maker/dispenser tips

• If refrigerator is not connected to a water

supply or the water supply is turned off, turn off the ice maker as described in the previous section.

• 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 a large quantity of ice is needed at one

time, it is best to get cubes directly from the ice bin.

• Ice cubes stored too long may develop an

odd avor. 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.

• To avoid splashing, dispense ice into the

container before adding liquids.

• It is normal for ice to ll to the top of the

ice bin.

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 lifting upward and

pulling straight out.

3 Empty and carefully clean the ice bin

with mild detergent. Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaners. Do not place in dishwasher. Rinse with clear water.

4 Allow the ice bin to dry completely before

replacing in the freezer.

5 Replace the ice bin. Turn the ice maker

on.

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 refreeze together after power is restored, jamming the dispenser mechanism.

• Ice dispenser is used infrequently. Ice

cubes will freeze together in the bin, jamming the dispenser mechanism.

(2) Pull Bin Straight Out

(1) Lift

Upward

Removing Ice Bin

Remove the ice bin by (1) lifting upward and (2) pulling straight out, then shake to loosen the cubes or clean as explained above.

Page 18

USING THE DISPENSER

CAUTION

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

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, avoid rotating the auger in the ice bin. If the auger is accidentally rotated, realign the auger by turning it in 45 degree turns (see

below) until the ice bin ts 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.

STORING FOOD AND SAVING ENERGY

Ideas for storing foods

Fresh food storage

• Keep the fresh food compartment between 34°F and 44°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.

• Do not wash items until ready to use. Remove excess water before placing inside unit.

• 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 Custom-FlexTM Temp Drawer to store meat/poultry 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 efciently when it

is at least ⅔ 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-avor (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

“quick freeze” so newly purchased

food designated for the freezer will be

preserved as quickly as possible.

• Activating “quick freeze” also will help the freezer more efciently 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 efciently.

• 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 and use more energy.

• 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 AND SIGHTS

Understanding the sounds coming from the refrigerator

High-efciency refrigerators may introduce

unfamiliar sounds. These sounds normally indicate the refrigerator is operating correctly.

Some surfaces on oors, walls, and kitchen

cabinets may make these sounds more noticeable.

The following is a list of major components in the refrigerator and the sounds they can cause:

A Evaporators Refrigerant through the

evaporators may create a boiling or gurgling sound.

B Evaporator fans Sounds of air being

forced through the refrigerator by the evaporator fans may be heard.

C Defrost heaters During defrost cycles,

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

D Automatic ice maker When ice has

been produced, sounds of ice cubes falling into the ice bin may be heard. Ice maker fan, water valve activation, and refrigerant

gas uid may create sounds from its

operation.

E 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 Sounds of air being

forced through the condenser may be heard.

G Compressor Modern, high-efciency

compressors run much faster than older models. The compressor may have a highpitched hum or pulsating sound.

H Water valves Make a buzzing sound

each time they open to ll the ice maker.

I Drain pan (not removable) Sounds of

water dripping into the drain pan during the defrost cycle may be heard.

J Condenser May create minimal sounds

from forced air.

K Motorized damper May produce a light

humming during operation.

L Ice dispenser When dispensing ice, a

snapping, clicking, or popping sound may be heard.

NOTE

Energy efcient foam in the refrigerator is

not a sound insulator.

NOTE

During automatic defrost cycle, a red glow in the back wall vents of the freezer compartment is normal.
