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.



NOTE

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.

CAUTION

To Avoid Property Damage:

• CopperorStainlessSteelbraidedtubing

is recommended for the water supply

line. Water supply tubing made of ¼

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softener

can damage the ice maker. If the ice

maker is connected to soft water, ensure

that the softener is maintained and

working properly.

IMPORTANT

Ensure that your water supply line

connections comply with all local plumbing

codes.

CONNECTING THE WATER SUPPLY

Before Installing The Water Supply Line,

You Will Need:

• BasicTools:adjustablewrench,at-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 ¼ inch (6

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.

• Donotreusecompressionttingoruse

thread seal tape.

• A compression nut and ferrule (sleeve) for

connecting a copper water supply line to

the ice maker inlet valve.

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ush

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. 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 (¼ inch/6 mm). Slide ferrule

(sleeve)intovalveinletandngertighten

compression nut onto valve. Tighten

another half turn with a wrench; DO NOT

overtighten. 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ngertightencompressionnut

onto valve. Tighten another half turn with

a wrench; DO NOT overtighten. See Figure

5. With steel clamp and screw, secure water

supply line (copper tubing only) to rear

panel of refrigerator as shown.

6. Coil excess water supply line (copper

tubing only), about 2½ turns, behind

refrigerator as shown and arrange coils so

they do not vibrate or wear against any

other surface.

7. Turn ON water supply at shutoff valve and

tighten any connections that leak.

maintained. Chemicals from a water softener

can damage the ice maker.

CAUTION

NEVER use an ice pick or similar sharp

instrument to break up the ice. This

could damage the ice bin and dispenser

mechanism.

To loosen stuck ice, use warm water.

Before replacing the ice bin, make sure it is

completely dry.

Ice maker operation & care

necessarytoclearairfromwaterltertubing.

Once ice maker begins making ice, allow the

buckettollcompletely,thendiscardtherst

TWO (2) FULL buckets of ice. It will take at

leasttwo(2)daystocompletelyllthebucket

on regular ice making mode or 1

days on

fast ice mode.

The ice maker produces approximately four

(4) pounds of ice every 24 hours depending on

usage conditions.

Turning the ice maker on and off

Ice production is controlled by lifting/lowering

the ice maker’s wire signal arm. To gain

access to the ice maker, pull the freezer drawer

3 Empty and carefully clean the ice bin

with mild detergent. Do not use harsh or

abrasive cleaners. Rinse with clean water.

4 Allow the ice bin to dry completely before

replacing in the freezer.

5 Replace the ice bin. Turn the ice maker on.

Remove and empty the ice bin if:

• An extended power failure (one hour or

longer) causes ice cubes in the ice bin to

melt and freeze together.

STORAGE FEATURES

Ideas for storing foods

Fresh food storage

• Keep the fresh food compartment

between 34° F and 40° F with an optimum

temperature of 37° F.

• Avoid overcrowding the refrigerator

shelves, which reduces air circulation and

causes uneven cooling.

Fruits and vegetables

• Store fruits and vegetables in crisper

drawers, where trapped moisture helps

preservefoodqualityforlongertime

periods.

• Wash items and remove excess water.

• 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 deli drawer to store meat/poultry

for short-term storage. Any meat to be

kept longer than two (2) days should be

frozen.

Frozen food storage

• Keep the freezer compartment at 0° F or

lower.

• Afreezeroperatesmostefcientlywhenit

is at least

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off-avor(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”sothatonyourreturnyou

can ensure your newly purchased food

designated for the freezer will be preserved

asquicklyaspossible.

• Activating“quickfreeze”alsowillhelp

yourfreezermoreef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 (2) appliances

will help the refrigerator operate more

ef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.

STORING FOOD AND SAVING ENERGY

Understanding the

sounds you may hear

Yournew,high-efciencyrefrigeratormay

introduce unfamiliar sounds. These sounds

normally indicate your refrigerator is operating

correctly.Somesurfacesonoors,walls,and

kitchen cabinets may make these sounds more

noticeable.

The 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.

C 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.

D Automatic ice maker When ice has

been produced, you will hear ice cubes

falling into the ice bin. Ice maker fan,

water valve activation, and refrigerant gas

uid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 off.

F Condenser fan You may hear air being

forced through the condenser.

G CompressorModern,high-efciency

compressors run much faster than older

models. The compressor may have a high-

pitched hum or pulsating sound.

H Water valve Makes a buzzing sound each

timeitopenstolltheicemaker.

I Drain pan (not removable) You may hear

water dripping into the drain pan during

the defrost cycle.

J Condenser May create minimal sounds

from forced air.

M Motorized damper May produce a light

humming during operation.
