IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Safety Instructions
• DO NOT store or use gasoline, or
other flammable liquids in the vicinity
of this or any other appliance. Read
product labels for warnings regarding flammability and other hazards.
• DO NOT operate the refrigerator in
the presence of explosive fumes.
• Avoid contact with any moving parts
of automatic ice maker.
• Remove all staples from the carton.
Staples can cause severe cuts, and
also destroy finishes if they come in
contact with other appliances
or furniture.
WARNING
Do not use electrical appliances inside
the food storage compartments of the
appliance unless they are of the type
recommended by the manufacturer.
Child Safety
Destroy or recycle the carton, plastic
bags, and any exterior wrapping material
immediately after the refrigerator is
unpacked. Children should NEVER use
these items to play. Cartons covered with
rugs, bedspreads, plastic sheets or stretch
wrap may become airtight chambers, and
can quickly cause suocation.
Proper Disposal of Refrigerator
or Freezer
Risk of child entrapment
Child entrapment and suocation 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 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
qualified service technician.
IMPORTANT
CFC/HCFC Disposal
Some old refrigerators may have a
cooling system that used CFCs or
HCFCs (chlorofluorocarbons or
hydrochlorofluorocarbons). 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 qualified
technician. Intentionally released
refrigerant may subject one to fines
and imprisonment under provisions of
environmental legislation.

WATER SUPPLY CONNECTION
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.
CAUTION
• A shuto valve to connect the water
supply line to the household water
system. DO NOT use a self-piercing
type shuto valve.
• Do not reuse compression fitting or
use thread seal tape.
• A compression nut and ferrule
(sleeve) for connecting a copper
water supply line to the main water
inlet valve.
To Avoid Property Damage:
• We recommend copper or stainless
Steel braided tubing for the water
supply line. We do not recommend
using water supply tubing made of
¼ in. plastic. Plastic tubing greatly
increases the potential for water
leaks, and the manufacturer will not
be responsible for any damage if you
use plastic tubing 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 you maintain the
softener and it is working properly.
IMPORTANT
Ensure the water supply line connections
comply with all local plumbing codes.
To install the water supply line, you need
the following:
• Basic Tools: adjustable wrench,
flat-blade screwdriver, and Phillips
screwdriver
• Access to a household cold water
line with water pressure between 30
and 100psi.
• A water supply line made of ¼"
(6.4mm) OD, copper or braided
stainless steel tubing. To determine
the length of tubing needed,
measure the distance from the main
water inlet valve at the back of the
refrigerator to the cold water pipe.
Then add approximately 6' (1.8m), so
you can move the refrigerator 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, we recommend
for homes with existing valves its Smart
Choice® water line kit 5304437642 with
a 6' (1.8 meters) braided Stainless Steel
Water Line. Please refer to
Frigidaire.com for more information.
NOTE
Expect the first ice harvest within the first
24hours of unit operation. To prevent any
issues concerning ice production, please ensure you prime all water lines. See Priming
the water supply system in the AUTOMATIC ICE AND WATER DISPENSER section.
IMPORTANT
The refrigerator’s water supply system
includes several tubing lines, a water filter,
and a water valve. To ensure the water
dispenser works properly, completely
fill this system with water when you first
connect the refrigerator to the household
water supply line.

AUTOMATIC ICE AND WATER DISPENSER
Using the ice maker
after installation
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.
Priming the water supply system
Before dispensing water for the first
time, be sure to prime the water supply
system. If the system is not flushed, the
first glasses of water may have discolored
water or have an odd flavor.
CAUTION
For proper dispenser operation,
recommended water supply pressure
should fall between 30psi and 100psi.
Excessive pressure may cause the
system to malfunction.
1. Hold a glass against the paddle for
about 4 minutes to purge air from
the system.
2. Continue dispensing at least 1 full
gallon (3.6 L) of water and discard.
NOTE
The water dispenser has a built-in device that shuts o the water flow after
two minutes of continuous use. To reset
this shuto device, simply release the
dispenser paddle.
NOTE
After the initial 26 oz (750 ml), water
will remain room temperature until the
tank has refilled and been given enough
time to chill the next 26 oz (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 24hours.
The ice maker will fill the ice bin from the
rear. Dispense some ice to force the ice
forward in the bin. This will allow the bin
to fill completely.
Ice Maker and Storage
Bin Capacity
Both counter depth and standard depth
model ice makers should produce 3.2 to
3.7 lbs of ice per 24 hours depending on
usage conditions. The counter depth ice
bin will hold about 4 lbs of ice, and the
standard depth ice bin will hold about 5
lbs of ice.
Turning the ice maker on and o
Dispenser
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/O feature to O either
by using the display or by pressing
the switch (features vary by model).
Otherwise, the ice maker’s fill valve may
make a loud chattering noise when it
attempts to operate without water.
Press and hold Ice Maker on the external
appliance control display for 3 seconds to
turn ice production on and o.
AUTOMATIC ICE AND WATER DISPENSER
21
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 o the ice maker simply disables ice making. Existing ice can still be
dispensed, and water can be dispensed.
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 filter
needs to be replaced. 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. Remember, if it’s been
six months or longer since last changing the water filter, replace it with a
new one. Poor quality household water
may require the filter 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 o, turn o 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 flavor. 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 fill 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 o the ice maker using the
button on the display.
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.
22
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.
• The ice dispenser is used
infrequently. Ice cubes will freeze
together in the bin, jamming the
dispenser mechanism. Shake the
bin to loosen the cubes, or clean as
explained above.
AUTOMATIC ICE AND WATER DISPENSER

STORING FOOD AND SAVING ENERGY
27
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 AND
SETTINGS 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
(-18°C) or lower.
• A freezer operates most eciently
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 o-flavor (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
Freeze Boost
so newly purchased
food designated for the freezer will
be preserved as quickly as possible.
• Activating Freeze Boost also will
help the freezer more eciently
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 eciently.
• Level the refrigerator so that the
doors close tightly.
Temperature settings
• Refer to CONTROLS AND
SETTINGS for illustration and
recommended 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
Understanding the sounds
coming from the refrigerator
High-eciency refrigerators may
introduce unfamiliar sounds. These
sounds normally indicate the refrigerator
is operating correctly. Some surfaces on
floors, 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 fluid 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 o.
F Condenser fan Sounds of air being
forced through the condenser may be
heard.
G Compressor Modern, high-eciency
compressors run much faster than
previous models. The compressor may
have a noticeable hum or pulsating
sound during operation.
H Water valves Make a buzzing sound
each time they open to fill 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 ecient foam in the refrigerator
is not a sound insulator.
