This Use & Care Guide provides general
operating instructions for your model. Use
the refrigerator only as instructed in this
Use & Care Guide. Before starting the
refrigerator, follow these important first
steps.
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
isessential for the proper operation of your
refrigerator.

Removing Toe Grille
If your refrigerator is placed with the door

allow additional space so the door can be
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 1/4 inch (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
rollers:
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 flat-blade
screwdriver or 3/8inch 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 7/I6 inch wrench. (See illustration.)
Raise
Door
After leveling, verify door stop contacts
lower hinge and top of door does
not contact upper hinge through full
movement of door (from fully closed to
fully open).
Reinstall set screw, locking the door

Toavoid electric shock, which cancause
death or severe personal injury, disconnect
the refrigerator from electrical power before
connecting a water supply line to the
A shutoff valve to connect the water supply
line to your household water system. Do not
use a self-piercing type shutoff valve.
o
Do not re-use compression fitting or use
thread seal tape.
o
A compression nut and ferrule (sleeve) for
connecting a copper water supply line to 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 Installing The Water Supply Line,
You Will Need:
e
Basic Tools: adjustable wrench, flat-blade
screwdriver, and Phillips TM screwdriver
e
Access to a household cold water line with
water pressure between 30 and 100 psi.
e
A water supply line made of 1/4inch
(6.4 ram) 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
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.

To Connect Water Supply Lime To Ice
Maker Inlet Valve
1
Disconnect refrigerator from electric
power source.
2
Place end of water supply line into sink or
bucket. Turn ON water supply and flush
supply line until water is clear. Turn OFF
water supply at shutoff valve.
3
Remove plastic cap from water valve inlet
and discard cap.
4
If you use copper tubing - Slide brass
compression nut, then ferrule (sleeve)
onto water supply line. Push water supply
line into water valve inlet as far as it
will go (1/4inch/6.4 mm). Slide ferrule
(sleeve) into valve inlet and finger tighten
compression nut onto valve. Tighten
another half turn with a wrench; DO NOT
over tighten. See Figure 1.
If you use stainless steel tubing - The
nut and ferrule are already assembled on
the tubing. Slide compression nut onto
valve inlet and finger tighten compression
nut onto valve. Tighten another half turn
with a wrench; DO NOT over tighten. See
Figure 2.
