you are getting rid of your 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 your utility company or visit www.energystar.gov/recycle for more information on recycling your old refrigerator.

Before you throw away your 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

Your old refrigerator 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 you are throwing away your old refrigerator, make sure the refrigerant is

removed for proper disposal by a qualied

technician. If you intentionally release

refrigerant, you may be subject to nes

and imprisonment under provisions of environmental legislation.

• 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 your 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.

IMPORTANT

Pressing and holding the On/Off button for three seconds, located on the temperature control panel, will disable your refrigerator’s cooling system but does not disconnect the power to the light bulb and other electrical components. To turn off power to your refrigerator you must unplug the power cord from the electrical outlet.

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 your 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.

CAUTION

To avoid personal injury or property damage, handle tempered glass shelves carefully. Shelves may break suddenly if nicked, scratched, or exposed to sudden temperature change.

Cabinet Leveling & Refrigerator Door Alignment (if necessary)

Guidelines for nal positioning of your

refrigerator:

• All four corners of the cabinet must rest

rmly on the oor.

• The front should be slightly elevated to ensure that doors close and seal properly.

• Doors should align with each other and be level.

Most of these conditions can be met by raising or lowering the adjustable front rollers.

To level the cabinet using the front rollers:

1 Slightly open freezer drawer if the toe grill

is installed. Lift the toe grille and gently pull forward.

2 Make initial cabinet adjustments by using

the front roller height adjusting screws. Use a 3/8 inch socket wrench to turn the adjustment screws (1 per side).

To raise: turn adjustment screw clockwise.

To lower: turn adjustment screw

counterclockwise.

3 Ensure both doors are bind-free with their

seals touching the cabinet on all four sides and that cabinet is stable.

4 After unit is leveled, lower anti-tip leg

using a 3/8 inch socket wrench until it

rmly contacts the oor.

CONNECTING THE WATER SUPPLY

• A shutoff valve to connect 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.

line to your 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 your home has a water softening system, ensure the softener is maintained and working properly.

IMPORTANT

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

Before Installing The Water Supply Line, You Will Need:

• 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 your cold water pipe. Then add approximately 7 feet (2.1 meters), so the refrigerator can be moved out for cleaning (as shown).

NOTE



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.

(1.8 meters) Stainless Steel Water Line, and for homes without an existing valve Frigidaire recommends its Smart Choice® water line kit 5305510264 with a 20 ft. (6 meters) Copper Water Line with self-tapping saddle valve. Please refer to www.frigidaire.com/store for more information.
