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

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.
F

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
