For Your Safety

Do not store or use gasoline, or other

flammable liquids inthe 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.

e

Avoid contact with any moving parts of
automatic ice maker.

e

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.

These Guidelines Must Be Followed To
Ensure That Safety Mechanisms In This

Refrigerator Will Operate Properly.

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 Interrupter (GFI) circuit. Do

not use an extension cord or adapter plug.

If the power cord isdamaged, 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.

Proper Disposal of your
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 l freezer:

removed by
a qualified service technician.

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.

Turning the Freezer and Fresh Food Controls
to "0" turns off the compressor and prevents

your refrigerator from cooling, but does not
disconnect the power to the light bulb and

other electrical components. To turn off

followtheseimportantfirststeps:

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.

Do Not install the refrigerator where the

temperature will drop below 55° F (13° C) or

rise above 110° F (43 ° C). The compressor

will not be able to maintain proper
temperatures inside the refrigerator.

Do Not block the toe grille on the lower front

of your refrigerator. Sufficient air circulation

is essential for the proper operation of

Door Opening

Your refrigerator should be positioned to allow
easy access to a counter when removing food.
To make this possible, the direction in which
the doors open can be reversed. See Door

Removal & Reversal Instructions.

If your refrigerator is placed with the door
hinge side against a wall, you may have to
allow additional space so the door can be
opened wider.

Leveling

All four corners of your refrigerator must rest
firmly on a solid floor. Your refrigerator is
equipped with adjustable front rollers or front
leveling screws to help level your unit.

To Level Your Refrigerator:

1. Remove toe grille.

If you install your refrigerator in a garage or
other unheated area, you may experience
freezer temperature problems during the winter

months when temperatures dip below 55° E
Upgrading your refrigerator with a Garage

Kit will lower the minimum operating

temperature of your unit to 34° F. This

kit can be ordered through the Electrolux

Solutions Hotline (see back cover).

of installation, proper air circulation, and
plumbing and electrical connections:

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.

e

DO NOT install water supply tubing in areas
where temperatures fall below freezing. TO Connect Water Supply Line To
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 pr0per!y: ...................................................................................

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, flat-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 1/4 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).

A shutoff valve to connect the water supply

line to your household water system. DO
NOT use a self-piercing type shutoff valve.

connecting a copper water supply line to
the ice maker inlet valve.

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, Electrolux 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, Electrolux 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:

Ice Haker 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. Remove plastic cap from water valve inlet

and discard cap.

4. ]:f 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.

5. With steel clamp and screw, secure water
supply line (copper tubing only) to rear

panel of refrigerator as shown.
