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

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.

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.
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.

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.

• The water supply line is kinked.
• Water pressure is extremely low. Cut-off and cut-on pressures are too low (well systems only).
• Reverse osmosis system is in regenerative phase.
• Ice cubes are not being
used frequently enough or
interruption of power for prolonged time.
• Ice cubes are hollow (shells of ice with water inside). The hollow cubes break open in the bin and leak their water onto existing ice, which causes it to freeze together.
• Turn on ice maker. For the fresh food ice maker, press ice maker on-off button once.
• Connect the unit to the household water supply and ensure the water valve is open.
• Ensure that the supply line does not kink when the refrigerator is pushed into place against the wall.
• Remove and re-install the water lter.
Be sure to seat it fully into the locked position.
• If water dispenses slowly or not at all, or
if the lter is six months old or older, it
should be replaced.
• The ice maker will produce approximately 2 to 3 pounds of ice every 24 hours depending on usage conditions.
• If water dispenses slower than normal,
or if the lter is six months old or older,
it should be replaced.
• Ensure that the supply line does not kink when the refrigerator is pushed into place against the wall.
• Have someone turn up the cut-off and cut-on pressure on the water pump system (well systems only).
• It is normal for a reverse osmosis system to be below 20 psi during the regenerative phase.
• Remove ice container and discard ice. The ice maker will produce fresh supply. Ice should be used at least twice weekly to keep the cubes separated.
• This generally occurs when the ice maker does not get enough water. This is usually the result of a clogged water
lter or restricted water supply. Replace the water lter and if the condition still
occurs, check to see if the water valve is not turned on all the way or if there is a kinked water supply line.
