User Manual Frigidaire FRT18HS6JS 18 cu. ft. Top freezer refrigerator

If your refrigerator was just installed, it takes about 24
hours for the temperature to stabilize.
It is preferred that you do not adjust the temperature from
the recommended setting during the 1st 24 hours.
For refrigerators with electronic controls (most Side-by-
Side and French-Door refrigerators) – Fresh food
compartment should be set for 37 degrees Fahrenheit and
the freezer should be set for 0 degrees Fahrenheit.
If you have a Multi-Door refrigerator with a Custom-Flex®
Temp Drawer, it is recommended to set the fresh food
compartment at 39 degrees Fahrenheit. For refrigerators
with dial controls – An indicator mark for “normal” will be
visible.

If you are experiencing freezing in your crisper drawers, you
may want to keep in mind that air from the freezer moving
to the fresh food compartment through the damper could
result in freezing temperatures in the crisper drawers if the
unit has not be in use for an extended period of time.
Once the refrigerator is used more frequently, this issue
should resolve itself. If not, slightly increase the humidity
setting.
NOTE: Lower humidity conditions may result in freezing in
your crisper drawers. Try adjusting the humidity control for
more air flow. If you have any questions, please contact us

In general, you should change the air filter every six months
(in most models, the filter status light on your display will
prompt you to replace the filter). Replacing the air filter will
ensure optimal filtering of refrigerator odors.
You may want to adjust this time period depending on the
types and amounts of food you typically store in your
refrigerator. To order replacement filters, simply go to our
Filter & Partspage. Remember to order the same filter type
that is currently in your refrigerator.

When it comes to your water filter, compatible isn’t
comparable. Frigidaire Genuine filters offer 3 levels of
carbon filtration that trap sediment, chemicals, and harmful
impurities. Frigidaire filters are NSF certified, the gold
standard in water filtration.
Compatible or look-alike filters aren’t guaranteed to offer
the same water quality. It’s always important to use the
same filter type that is currently in your refrigerator.
Most Owner’s Manuals will provide you the water filter
information specific to your model. You can also visit Filter
& Parts and go to “Find Your Water Filter”. If you need more
help, please contact us.

Setting the humidity control on your crisper drawers is not
hard but we often forget what the best setting is based on
the food type.
Here are some helpful tips:

1. Leafy vegetables keep best when stored with the
humidity control set on HIGH, or in a drawer without a
humidity control. This keeps incoming air to a minimum
and maintains maximum moisture.
2. Non-leafy vegetables and fruits still in their skin should
be stored with the humidity control set on LOW. It’s best to
wash items and remove any excess water before placing in
the crisper drawers.
3. Items with strong odors or high moisture content should
be wrapped before storing.
4. If you have a refrigerator model with the Auto CrispSeal
Drawer, they are equipped with an auto humidity control on
the side of each crisper under the humidity control cover.
Good news – no settings needed!
