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 qualied service technician.
IMPORTANT
CFC/HCFC Disposal
Some old refrigerators may have a cooling
system that used CFCs or HCFCs (chlorouorocarbons or hydrochlorouorocarbons). 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 qualied 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 qualied 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 insufcient 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/

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 relled 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.
16
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.

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 efciently 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 efciently 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 efciently.
• 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-efciency 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-efciency
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 efcient 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.
