Risk of child entrapment
Child entrapment and suffocation
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." if you are getting rid of your
old refrigerator or freezer, please
follow the instructions below to
help prevent accidents.
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 qualified service
technician.
FOR YOUR SAFETY
• 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 ifthey 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 suffocation.
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 qualified electrician. Avoid
connecting refrigerator to a Ground Fault Interruptor (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 affected if the voltage varies by
10% or more. Operating the refrigerator with insufficient
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.

theseimportant first steps.
LOCATION
• Choose a place that is near a grounded electrical outlet.
Do Not use an extension cord or an adapter plug.
• If possible, place the refrigerator out of direct sunlight
and away from the range, dishwasher or other heat
sources.
• The refrigerator must be installed on a floor that is level
and strong enough to support a fully loaded refrigerator.
• Consider water supply availability for models equipped
with an automatic ice maker.
iNSTALLATiON
Guidelines for final positioning of your refrigerator:
• All four corners of the cabinet must rest firmly on the
floor.
The cabinet should be level at the front and rear.
The sides should tilt ¼-inch (6 ram) from front to back (to
ensure that doors close and seal properly).

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 tubing is recommended for the water supply
line. Water supply tubing made of 1/4"plastic is not
recommended since it greatly increases the potential
for water leaks. Manufacturer will not be responsible
for any damage if plastic tubing is used for supply
line.
• DO NOT install water supply tubing in areas where
temperatures fall below freezing.
• 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.
To Connect Water Supply Line To Ice Maker Inlet Valve
1. Disconnect refrigerator from electric power source.
2. 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.
3. Unscrew plastic cap from water valve inlet and discard
cap.
4. Shde brass compression nut, then ferrule (sleeve) onto
water supply hne, as shown.
5. Push water supply hne Into water valve inlet as far as it will
go (14 Inch). Shde ferrule (sleeve) Into valve inlet and
finger hghten compression nut onto valve. Tighten another
half turn with a wrench; DO NOT over tighten.
6. With steel clamp and screw, secure water supply hne to
rear panel of refrigerator as shown.
7. Coil excess water supply hne (about 212 turns) behind
refrigerator as shown and arrange coils so they do not
vibrate or wear against any other surface.
8. Turn ON water supply at shutoff valve and hghten any
connechons that leak.
9. Reconnect refrigerator to electrical power source.
10. To turn ice maker on, lower wire signal arm (side mounted)

poslhon (rear mounted).
iMPORTANT
Ensure that your water supply system and installation
comply with all state and local laws and regulations.
Before Installing The Water Supply Line, You Will Need:
• Basic Tools: adjustable wrench, fiat-blade screwdriver,
and Phillips TM screwdriver
• Access to a household cold water line with water pressure
between 30 and 100 psi. (supply with cold water only)
• A water supply line made of 14 inch (6.4 ram) OD, copper
tubing. To determine the length of copper tubing needed,
you will need to 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).
• 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 connecting the
water supply line to the Ice maker inlet valve.
NOTE
Water line kit number 5303917950, available from your
apphance dealer at additional cost, contains 25 feet (7.6
meters) of 14 inch OD copper tubing, a saddle type shutoff
valve (nonpiercing), (2) 1/4inch brass compression nuts,
(2) ferrules!sleeves, and instructions for instalhng a water
supply line.

After connecting the water supply, refer to "'How to Prime
the Water Supply System"for important information about
priming an empty water supply system.
Your refrigerator's water supply system includes
several tubing lines, a water filter, a water valve and a
water tank. To ensure that your water dispenser works
properly, this system must be completely filled with
water when your refrigerator is first connected to the
household water supply line.

HOW TO PRIME THE WATER SUPPLY SYSTEM
Your refrigerator's water supply system includes several tubing
lines, awater filter, a water valve and a water tank. To ensure
that your water dispenser works properly, this system must
be completely filled with water when your refrigerator is
first connected to the household water supply line and
whenever you replace the water filter.
TO PRIME THE WATER SUPPLY SYSTEM:
• Begin filling the tank by pressing and holding a drinking
glass against the water dispenser paddle.
• Keep the glass in this position until water comes out of
the dispenser. There wilt be noticeable spurts and
sputters as the system pushes air out through the
system and dispenser nozzle. This is normal. This may
take about 11/2minutes.
• Continue dispensing water for about 3 minutes to flush
the system of any air and impurities. Empty glass as
needed.
Because of new plumbing connections, the first production of
ice cubes may be discolored or have an odd flavor. Discard ice
made during the first 24 hours.
TURNING YOUR SIDE MOUNTED ICE MAKER ON/OFF
To begin ice production, lower the wire signal arm to the DOWN
or ON position. The ice maker turns off automatically when the
ice container becomes full. To stop the ice maker, raise the wire
signal arm until it clicks and locks in the UP or OFF position
(see Figure 1).
TURNING YOUR REAR MOUNTED ICE MAKER ON/OFF
Ice production is controlled by the ice maker's ON/OFF power
switch. To gain access to the ice maker, pull the ice cream shelf
out. Press the switch to the "O" position to turn it Off and press
it to the "1"position to turn it On (see Figure 2). The ice maker
also has a built-in wire signal arm, which automatically stops ice
production when the ice bin is full. DO NOT use this signal arm
to manually stop the ice maker.

HOW THE ICE MAKER WORKS
The ice maker and container are located in the top of the
freezer compartment. After the refrigerator is installed properly
and has cooled for several hours, the ice maker can begin
making ice within 24 hours. 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 two
days to fill the ice container.
Figure1 Figure 2
iCE PRODUCTION: WHAT TO EXPECT
How Much Ice Will a Side Mounted ice Maker Produce
in 24 Hours?
A side mounted ice maker will produce 4 to 4.5 pounds d
ice every 24 hours, depending on usage conditions. Ice is
produced at a rate of 8 cubes every 75 to 90 minutes.
How Much Ice Will a Rear Mounted Ice Maker
Produce in 24 Hours?
A rear mounted ice maker will produce 3 to 4 pounds of ice
every 24 hours, depending on usage conditions. Ice is produced
at a rate of 8 cubes every 75 to 90 minutes.
PURESOURCE TM ICE AND WATER FILTER (SOME
MODELS)
Order new filter cartridges through the dealer
where you bought the refrigerator, contact the
Electrolux Solutions Hotline at 1=800-944-9044, or
go to our web site at www.frigidaire.com, it might
be good to order some filter cartridges when you
first install your refrigerator. Be sure to ask for the
RG-100 PureSource TMreplacement cartridge.
System Startup:
Water supply does not need to be turned off, however, do not
use ice and water dispenser while installing filter. The filter
cartridge has already been installed in the filter housing at the
factory. Refer to the How to Prime the Water Supply System
section to properly fill the system with water.
The PureSource TM * NGRG-2000 Ice and
Water Filter System with the RG-IO0 cartridge
is tested and certified by NSF International, the
nationally recognized and respected, not for
profit, certification organization for public health
safety. The PureSource TM*system is tested
and certified to ANSl/NSF Standard 42. See performance
data sheet for specifications. This system should not be
used on water that is microbiologically unsafe or with water
of unknown quality unless the water has been adequately
disinfected before or after traveling through the filtration
system. Systems certified for cyst reduction may be used on
disinfected waters that may contain filterable cysts.
• Rated Capacity - 400 gallons
• Rated service flow - .5 GPM
• Maximum/Minimum Rated Pressure - 100/30 PSI
• Maximum/Minimum Operating Temp. - 100°/33 ° F
Changing the Filter:
Water conditions vary throughout the world, but changing the
water filter every 6 - 9 months normally will ensure the highest
possible water quality. Ice jams in the ice maker and/or hollow
ice cubes (partially frozen cubes with water inside), may
also be a sign that your water filter needs changing. The
Filter Status light will turn red after 400 gallons of water has
flowed through the ice and water dispenser. Also, if the filter
has been in a refrigerator that has not been in use for awhile
(during moving for example), change the filter before reinstalling
the refrigerator. The dispenser system will also operate without
filtration (with filter cartridge removed).
To change filter:
It is not necessary to turn the water supply off to change the filter.
1. Open freezer door and leave open until filter change is
complete.
2. Turn OFF side mounted ice maker by raising wire signal
arm to the UP position. Turn OFF rear mounted ice maker
by pressing ON/OFF power switch to the "O" position.
3. Hold filter cup firmly, and unscrew towards left. Some
water could leak out as you remove cup. This is normal.
Filter cartridge should come down with cup. If cartridge
remains in housing, pull down gently, while twisting filter
back and forth.
4. Rinse out cup under running water.
5. The large o-ring that seals the filter system fits in the o-ring
groove inside the cup. Should the o-ring fall out during filter
cartridge replacement, simply place it back in the groove
prior to screwing the cup back in place. Ifthe o-ring
becomes damaged, you will need to order one from
the Electrolux Solutions Hotline.
6. Discard old filter cartridge.
7. Remove new filter cartridge from packaging. Place in cup.
The end with the small o-ring should be up, out of the cup.
8. Screw cup, with filter, back onto housing. Do Not Use
Wrench To Reinstall Cup. Filter cartridge will self-align as
cup is tightened. Be sure cup is completely tightened with
PureSource TM logo facing outward. Do Not Tighten Past
Stop.
9. Turn ON side mounted ice maker by lowering wire signal
arm to the DOWN position. Turn ON rear mounted ice
maker by pressing ON/OFF power switch to the "r'
position.
10. Check for leaks. Open refrigerator door. Wipe any water
leaks from the filter cup. Fill a glass with water. If there is a
leak, unscrew filter cup, and reinsert the filter
cartridge. Check placement of large O-ring. Reinstall filter
cup, making certain it is tightened completely.
11. To prime filter system and purge air from water line,
continue flushing the system for approximately 3 minutes
to assure that the purest water possible is stored inthe
water tank. There will be noticeable spurts and sputters
as the system pushes air out through the system and
out the dispenser nozzle.This is normal.
UNDERSTANDING THE SOUNDS YOU MAY HEAR
Your new high-efficiency refrigerator may make unfamiliar
sounds. These are all normal sounds and soon will become
familiar to you. They also indicate your refrigerator is operating

PROPER DISPOSAL OFYOUR REFRIGERATOR OR
FREEZER
Risk of child entrapment
Child entrapment and suffocation
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." if you are getting rid of your
old refrigerator or freezer, please
follow the instructions below to
help prevent accidents.
Before you throw away your old refrigerator/freezer:
, Remove doors.
, Leave shelves in place so children may not easily climb
inside.

technician.
FOR YOUR SAFETY
• 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 suffocation.
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 qualified electrician. Avoid
connecting refrigerator to a Ground Fault Interruptor (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 affected if the voltage varies by
10% or more. Operating the refrigerator with insufficient
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.

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 tubing is recommended for the water supply
line. Water supply tubing made of 1/4"plastic is not
recommended since it greatly increases the potential
for water leaks. Manufacturer will not be responsible
for any damage if plastic tubing is used for supply
line.
• DO NOT install water supply tubing in areas where
temperatures fall below freezing.
• 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.
To Connect Water Supply Line To Ice Maker Inlet Valve
1. Disconnect refrigerator from electric power source.
2. 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.

iMPORTANT
Ensure that your water supply system and installation
comply with all state and local laws and regulations.
Before Installing The Water Supply Line, You Will Need:
• Basic Tools: adjustable wrench, fiat-blade screwdriver,
and Phillips TM screwdriver
• Access to a household cold water line with water pressure
between 30 and 100 psi. (supply with cold water only)
• A water supply line made of 14 inch (6.4 ram) OD, copper
tubing. To determine the length of copper tubing needed,
you will need to 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).
• 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 connecting the
water supply line to the Ice maker inlet valve.
NOTE
Water line kit number 5303917950, available from your
apphance dealer at additional cost, contains 25 feet (7.6
meters) of 14 inch OD copper tubing, a saddle type shutoff

After connecting the water supply, refer to "'How to Prime
the Water Supply System"for important information about
priming an empty water supply system.
Your refrigerator's water supply system includes
several tubing lines, a water filter, a water valve and a
water tank. To ensure that your water dispenser works
properly, this system must be completely filled with
water when your refrigerator is first connected to the
household water supply line.

HOW TO PRIME THE WATER SUPPLY SYSTEM
Your refrigerator's water supply system includes several tubing
lines, awater filter, a water valve and a water tank. To ensure
that your water dispenser works properly, this system must
be completely filled with water when your refrigerator is
first connected to the household water supply line and
whenever you replace the water filter.
TO PRIME THE WATER SUPPLY SYSTEM:
• Begin filling the tank by pressing and holding a drinking
glass against the water dispenser paddle.
• Keep the glass in this position until water comes out of
the dispenser. There wilt be noticeable spurts and
sputters as the system pushes air out through the
system and dispenser nozzle. This is normal. This may
take about 11/2minutes.
• Continue dispensing water for about 3 minutes to flush
the system of any air and impurities. Empty glass as
needed.
Because of new plumbing connections, the first production of
ice cubes may be discolored or have an odd flavor. Discard ice
made during the first 24 hours.
TURNING YOUR SIDE MOUNTED ICE MAKER ON/OFF
To begin ice production, lower the wire signal arm to the DOWN
or ON position. The ice maker turns off automatically when the
ice container becomes full. To stop the ice maker, raise the wire
signal arm until it clicks and locks in the UP or OFF position
(see Figure 1).
TURNING YOUR REAR MOUNTED ICE MAKER ON/OFF
Ice production is controlled by the ice maker's ON/OFF power
switch. To gain access to the ice maker, pull the ice cream shelf
out. Press the switch to the "O" position to turn it Off and press
it to the "1"position to turn it On (see Figure 2). The ice maker
also has a built-in wire signal arm, which automatically stops ice
production when the ice bin is full. DO NOT use this signal arm
to manually stop the ice maker.

HOW THE ICE MAKER WORKS
The ice maker and container are located in the top of the
freezer compartment. After the refrigerator is installed properly
and has cooled for several hours, the ice maker can begin
making ice within 24 hours. 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 two
days to fill the ice container.
Figure1 Figure 2
iCE PRODUCTION: WHAT TO EXPECT
How Much Ice Will a Side Mounted ice Maker Produce
in 24 Hours?
A side mounted ice maker will produce 4 to 4.5 pounds d
ice every 24 hours, depending on usage conditions. Ice is
produced at a rate of 8 cubes every 75 to 90 minutes.
How Much Ice Will a Rear Mounted Ice Maker
Produce in 24 Hours?
A rear mounted ice maker will produce 3 to 4 pounds of ice
every 24 hours, depending on usage conditions. Ice is produced
at a rate of 8 cubes every 75 to 90 minutes.
PURESOURCE TM ICE AND WATER FILTER (SOME
MODELS)
Order new filter cartridges through the dealer
where you bought the refrigerator, contact the
Electrolux Solutions Hotline at 1=800-944-9044, or
go to our web site at www.frigidaire.com, it might
be good to order some filter cartridges when you
first install your refrigerator. Be sure to ask for the
RG-100 PureSource TMreplacement cartridge.
System Startup:
Water supply does not need to be turned off, however, do not
use ice and water dispenser while installing filter. The filter
cartridge has already been installed in the filter housing at the
factory. Refer to the How to Prime the Water Supply System
section to properly fill the system with water.
The PureSource TM * NGRG-2000 Ice and
Water Filter System with the RG-IO0 cartridge
is tested and certified by NSF International, the
nationally recognized and respected, not for
profit, certification organization for public health
safety. The PureSource TM*system is tested
and certified to ANSl/NSF Standard 42. See performance
data sheet for specifications. This system should not be
used on water that is microbiologically unsafe or with water
of unknown quality unless the water has been adequately
disinfected before or after traveling through the filtration
system. Systems certified for cyst reduction may be used on
disinfected waters that may contain filterable cysts.
• Rated Capacity - 400 gallons
• Rated service flow - .5 GPM
• Maximum/Minimum Rated Pressure - 100/30 PSI
• Maximum/Minimum Operating Temp. - 100°/33 ° F
Changing the Filter:
Water conditions vary throughout the world, but changing the
water filter every 6 - 9 months normally will ensure the highest
possible water quality. Ice jams in the ice maker and/or hollow
ice cubes (partially frozen cubes with water inside), may
also be a sign that your water filter needs changing. The
Filter Status light will turn red after 400 gallons of water has
flowed through the ice and water dispenser. Also, if the filter
has been in a refrigerator that has not been in use for awhile
(during moving for example), change the filter before reinstalling
the refrigerator. The dispenser system will also operate without
filtration (with filter cartridge removed).
To change filter:
It is not necessary to turn the water supply off to change the filter.
1. Open freezer door and leave open until filter change is
complete.
2. Turn OFF side mounted ice maker by raising wire signal
arm to the UP position. Turn OFF rear mounted ice maker
by pressing ON/OFF power switch to the "O" position.
3. Hold filter cup firmly, and unscrew towards left. Some
water could leak out as you remove cup. This is normal.
Filter cartridge should come down with cup. If cartridge
remains in housing, pull down gently, while twisting filter
back and forth.
4. Rinse out cup under running water.
5. The large o-ring that seals the filter system fits in the o-ring
groove inside the cup. Should the o-ring fall out during filter
cartridge replacement, simply place it back in the groove
prior to screwing the cup back in place. Ifthe o-ring
becomes damaged, you will need to order one from
the Electrolux Solutions Hotline.
6. Discard old filter cartridge.
7. Remove new filter cartridge from packaging. Place in cup.
The end with the small o-ring should be up, out of the cup.
8. Screw cup, with filter, back onto housing. Do Not Use
Wrench To Reinstall Cup. Filter cartridge will self-align as
cup is tightened. Be sure cup is completely tightened with
PureSource TM logo facing outward. Do Not Tighten Past
Stop.
9. Turn ON side mounted ice maker by lowering wire signal
arm to the DOWN position. Turn ON rear mounted ice
maker by pressing ON/OFF power switch to the "r'
position.
10. Check for leaks. Open refrigerator door. Wipe any water
leaks from the filter cup. Fill a glass with water. If there is a
leak, unscrew filter cup, and reinsert the filter
cartridge. Check placement of large O-ring. Reinstall filter
cup, making certain it is tightened completely.
11. To prime filter system and purge air from water line,
continue flushing the system for approximately 3 minutes
to assure that the purest water possible is stored inthe
water tank. There will be noticeable spurts and sputters
as the system pushes air out through the system and
out the dispenser nozzle.This is normal.
UNDERSTANDING THE SOUNDS YOU MAY HEAR
Your new high-efficiency refrigerator may make unfamiliar
sounds. These are all normal sounds and soon will become
familiar to you. They also indicate your refrigerator is operating
