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.

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 suocation.

Proper Disposal of Refrigerator or Freezer

Risk of child entrapment

Child entrapment and suocation 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 www.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.

Page 5

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

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 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 qualiﬁed electrician. Avoid connecting refrigerator to a Ground Fault Interrupter (GFI) circuit. Do not use an extension cord or adapter plug.

• 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 ﬁrmly, 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 aected if the voltage varies by 10% or more. Operating the refrigerator with insucient power can damage the compressor. Such damage is not covered under the 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 o accidentally.

Grounding type wall receptacle

Do not, under any circumstances, cut, remove, or bypass the grounding prong.

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

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 water softener can damage the ice maker. If a water softening system is present, ensure the softener is maintained and working properly.

IMPORTANT

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

To install the water supply line, the following are needed:

• Basic Tools: adjustable wrench,

ﬂat-blade screwdriver, and Phillips screwdriver

• Access to a household cold water

line with water pressure between 30 and 100psi.

• A water supply line made of 1/4inch

(6.4mm) OD, copper or braided 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 the cold water pipe. Then add approximately 7feet (2.1meters), so the refrigerator can be moved out for cleaning.

• 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 re-use compression ﬁtting or use thread seal tape.

• A compression nut and ferrule (sleeve) for connecting a copper water supply line to the ice maker inlet valve.

NOTE

Check with local building authority for recommendations on water lines and associated materials prior to installing refrigerator. Depending on local/state building codes, Frigidaire recommends for homes with existing valves its Smart

Choice

water line kit 5304437642 with a 6ft. (1.8 meters) braided Stainless Steel Water Line. Please refer to www.frigidaire.com for more information.

NOTE

Expect the ﬁrst ice harvest within ﬁrst 24hours of unit operation. To prevent any issues concerning ice production, please ensure that all water lines are primed. 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 that the water dispenser works properly, this system must be completely ﬁlled with water when the refrigerator is ﬁrst connected to the household water supply line.

Fresh Food Ice Maker

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

CAUTION

For proper dispenser operation, recommended water supply pressure should fall between 30psi and 100psi. Excessive pressure may cause the system to malfunction.

1. Begin ﬁlling the system by pressing and holding a drinking glass against the dispenser.

2. Keep the glass in this position until water comes out of the dispenser. It may take about 1

3. Continue dispensing water for about four minutes to ﬂush the system and plumbing connections of any impurities (stopping to empty the glass as necessary).

Ice maker operation & care

After the refrigerator is installed properly and has cooled for several hours, the ice maker can produce ice within 24hours. 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

This ice maker should produce 2 to 2.5 pounds of ice per 24 hours. The ice bin will hold about 4 pounds of ice.

Page 27

AUTOMATIC ICE AND WATER DISPENSER

Turning the fresh food ice maker on and o

CAUTION

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; otherwise, the ice maker’s ﬁll valve may make a loud chattering noise when it attempts to operate without water.

Ice production is controlled by the ice maker’s On/O feature on the control panel. Pressing the On/O feature turns the ice maker on and o.

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.

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.

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.

STORING FOOD AND SAVING ENERGY

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 Section 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-Flex 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 or lower.

• A freezer operates most eciently when it is at least Ҁ 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 “Quick Freeze/Freeze Boost” so

Temp Drawer

newly purchased food designated for the freezer will be preserved as quickly as possible.

• Activating “Quick Freeze/Freeze Boost” also will help the freezer more eciently 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 eciently.

• Level the refrigerator so that the doors close tightly.

Temperature settings

• Refer to the “Controls” section for procedures on temperature 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-eciency 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-eciency

compressors run much faster than older models. The compressor may have a high-pitched hum or pulsating sound.

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 ecient foam in the refrigerator is not a sound insulator.

NOTE

During automatic defrost cycle, a red glow in the back wall vents of the freezer compartment is normal.

Concern Potential Cause Common Solution Automatic Ice Maker

Ice maker is not making any ice.

• Ice maker is turned o.

• Refrigerator is not connected to water line or water valve is not open.

• The water supply line is kinked.

• The water ﬁlter is not seated properly.

• The water ﬁlter may be clogged with foreign material.

• Freezer ice maker signal arm is being prevented from lowering down to check the ice level in the bin at the appropriate time.

• Turn on ice maker. Fresh Food Ice Maker - press and hold the ice maker button on the side user interface for 3 seconds. The LED indicator will illuminate to indicate that the ice maker is ON. Freezer Ice Maker - press and release the power button on the front of the ice maker. The LED indicator will illuminate to indicate that the ice maker is ON.

• Connect the unit to the household water supply and ensure the water valve is open.

• Ensure that the supply line does not kink when the refrigerator is pushed into place against the wall.

• Remove and re-install the water ﬁlter. Be sure to seat it fully into the locked position.

• If water dispenses slowly or not at all, or if the ﬁlter is six months old or older, it should be replaced.

• Remove any item or frozen clump of cubes that may prevent the signal arm from lowering down to check the ice level in the bin. Additionally, be sure the bin is in its properly installed position.

Concern Potential Cause Common Solution Automatic Ice Maker (Continued)

Ice maker is not making enough ice.

Ice cubes are freezing together.

• Ice maker is producing less ice than expected.

• The water ﬁlter may be clogged with foreign material.

• The water supply line is kinked.

• Saddle valve on cold water pipe is clogged or restricted by foreign material.

• Heavy trac, opening or closing of the doors excessively.

• Freezer control is set too warm (freezer ice maker).

• Water pressure is extremely low. Cut-o and cut-on pressures are too low (well systems only).

• Reverse osmosis system is in regenerative phase.

• Ice cubes are not being used frequently enough or interruption of power for prolonged time.

• Ice cubes are hollow (shells of ice with water inside). The hollow cubes break open in the bin and leak their water onto existing ice, which causes it to freeze together.

• The ice maker will produce approximately 2 to 2.5 pounds of ice every 24 hours depending on usage conditions.

• If water dispenses slower than normal, or if the ﬁlter is six months old or older, it should be replaced.

• Ensure that the supply line does not kink when the refrigerator is pushed into place against the wall.

• Turn o household water line valve. Remove valve. Ensure that valve is not a self-piercing saddle valve. Clean valve. Replace valve if necessary.

• Press FREEZE BOOST to temporarily increase ice production rate. (Freezer ice maker only.)

• Set freezer control to colder setting to improve performance of the ice maker (freezer ice maker). Allow 24 hours for temperature to stabilize.

• Have someone turn up the cut-o and cut-on pressure on the water pump system (well systems only).

• It is normal for a reverse osmosis system to be below 20 psi during the regenerative phase.

• Remove ice container and discard ice. The ice maker will produce fresh supply. Ice should be used at least twice weekly to keep the cubes separated.

• This generally occurs when the ice maker does not get enough water. This is usually the result of a clogged water ﬁlter or restricted water supply. Replace the water ﬁlter and if the condition still occurs, check to see if the water valve is not turned on all the way or if there is a kinked water supply line.

• Ice cubes are jammed between ice maker and back of ice container.

• Water ﬁlter not seated properly.

• Water ﬁlter is clogged.

• Household water line valve is not open.

• As warmer tap water goes through the ﬁlter and enters the water supply system, the chilled water is pushed through to the dispenser. Once the chilled water is used up, it will take several hours to bring the freshly replaced water to a cooler temperature.

• Water has not been dispensed for an extended period of time.

• Unit not properly connected to cold water line.

• See the “Ice maker is not making any ice” section.

• Be sure the refrigerator doors are completely closed.

• The motor overload protector will reset in about three minutes and then ice can be dispensed.

• Remove ice container, thaw, and empty the contents. Clean container, wipe dry, and replace in proper position. When new ice is made, dispenser should operate.
