To reverse refrigerator/freezer handles:
Handles may be easier to reverse while doors are off. Reverse freezer and refrigerator handles as
shown.
Be sure doors are set aside in a secure position where they cannot fall and cause personal
injury,
Toavoid 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.
To Avoid Property Damage:
* Copper or Stainless Steel braided tubing
is recommended for the water supply line. Water supply tubing made of 1/4inch 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. 2.
. 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. 3.
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, fiat-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 1/4inch (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 5.
cold water pipe. Then add approximately 7
feet (2.1 meters), so the refrigerator can be
moved out for cleaning (as shown). 6.
A shutoff valve to connect the water supply
line to your household water system. DO NOT use a self-piercing type shutoff valve.
A compression nut and ferrule (sleeve) for 7.
connecting a copper water supply line to the ice maker inlet valve. 8.
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 Line To Ice Maker Inlet Valve
1. Disconnect refrigerator from electric power
source. 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.
Remove plastic cap from water valve inlet and discard cap.
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.
With steel clamp and screw, secure water supply line (copper tubing only) to rear panel of refrigerator as shown.
Coil excess water supply line (copper tubing only), about 21/2turns, behind refrigerator as shown and arrange coils so they do not vibrate or wear against any other surface.
Turn ON water supply at shutoff valve and tighten any connections that leak.
Reconnect refrigerator to electrical power source.

If your refrigerator has an automatic ice maker, no ice will be produced during the first 24 hours of operation. Air in new plumbing lines may cause the ice maker to cycle two or three times before making a full tray of ice. With no usage, it will take approximately one to two days to fill the ice container.
New plumbing connections may cause the first production of ice cubes to be discolored or have an odd flavor. Discard ice made during the first 24 hours.
Automatic ice makers are also optional accessories that may be installed in most models at any time.
Call your local dealer for information.
Turning your Ice Haker On
After the plumbing connections have been completed, the water supply valve must be opened. Place the ice container under the ice maker, pushing it as far back as possible. Lower the wire signal arm to its "down" or ON position.
Cool Down Period
To ensure safe food storage, allow the refrigerator to operate with the doors closed for at least 8 to
12 hours before loading it with food.
Refrigerator & Freezer Controls
When first turning refrigerator on, move control(s) to Normal. This is the recommended initial setting.
After 24 hours, adjust the controls as needed.
Normal
Cold ' er
Turning your Ice Maker Off
To stop the ice maker, lift the wire signal arm until it clicks and locks in the "up" or OFF position. The ice maker also turns off automatically when the
ice container isfull.
Signal Ar m
Your ice maker is shipped from the factory with the wire signal arm in the ON position. To ensure proper function for your ice maker, hook up water supply immediately or turn ice maker OFF by
lifting the wire signal arm until it clicks and locks in the UP position. If the ice maker is not turned off and the water supply is not connected, the
water valve will make a loud chattering noise.

Understanding the sounds you may hear
Your new, high-efficiency refrigerator may introduce unfamiliar sounds. These sounds normally indicate your refrigerator is operating correctly. Some surfaces on floors, walls, and kitchen cabinets may
make these sounds more noticeable.
Rigid foam insulation is very energy efficient, but is not a sound insulator.
Following is a list of major components in your refrigerator and the sounds they can cause:
A Evaporator Refrigerant through the
evaporator may create a boiling or gurgling sound.
B Evaporator fan You may hear air being
forced through the refrigerator by the evaporator fan.
Defrost heater During defrost cycles, water dripping onto the defrost heater may cause a hissing or sizzling sound. After defrosting, a popping sound may occur.
During the automatic defrost cycle, you may notice a red glow in the vents on the back wall
of your freezer compartment. This is normal during the defrost cycle.

H
I
Automatic ice maker When ice has been produced, you will hear ice cubes falling into
the ice bin. The ice maker will produce 2.5 to 3 pounds of ice every 24 hours depending on usage conditions.
Automatic defrost control These parts can produce a snapping or clicking sound when turning the cooling system on and off.
Condenser fan You may hear air being forced through the condenser.
Compressor Modern, high-efficiency compressors run much faster than in the past. The compressor may have a high- pitched hum or pulsating sound.
Water valve Makes a buzzing sound each time it opens to fill the ice maker.
Drain pan (not removable) You may hear water dripping into the drain pan during the defrost cycle.
Condenser May create minimal sounds from forced air.
Prote_ing your investment
Keeping your refrigerator clean maintains appearance and prevents odor build-up. Wipe up any spills immediately and clean the freezer and fresh food compartments at least twice a year. When cleaning, take the following precautions:
Never use CHLORIDE or cleaners with bleach to clean stainless steel.
Do not wash any removable parts in a dishwasher.
Always unplug the electrical power cord from the wall outlet before cleaning.
Remove adhesive labels by hand. Do not use razor blades or other sharp instruments which can scratch the appliance surface.
