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
5304490728 (with a 6 ft. Stainless Steel
Water Line) or 5304493869 (with a 6
ft. Polyline Water Line) and for homes
without an existing valve, Frigidaire
recommends its Smart Choice
®
water
line kit 5304490717 (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:
• BasicTools:adjustablewrench,at-blade
screwdriver, and Phillips
TM
screwdriver
• Access to a household cold water line with
water pressure between 30 and 100 psi.
• A water supply line made of ¼ inch
(6.4 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).
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.TurnONwatersupplyandush
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/6.4 mm). Slide ferrule
(sleeve)intovalveinletandngertighten
compression nut onto valve. Tighten
another half turn with a wrench; DO NOT
over tighten. See Figure 1.
If you use braided exible stainless
steel or polyline tubing - The nut is
already assembled on the tubing. Slide
nutontovalveinletandngertighten
nut onto valve. Tighten another half turn
with a wrench; DO NOT over tighten. See
Figure 2.
• A shutoff valve to connect the water supply
line to your household water system. Do not
use a self-piercing type shutoff valve.
• Donotre-usecompressionttingoruse
thread seal tape.
• A compression nut and ferrule (sleeve) for
connecting a copper water supply line to the
ice maker inlet valve.

veseconds.Thedisplayshows“Sb”whilein
Sabbath mode.
In the Sabbath Mode, the “HIGH TEMP” alarm
is active for health reasons. For example, if
the door is left ajar the “HIGH TEMP” alarm
is activated. The refrigerator will function
normally once the door is closed, without
any violation of the Sabbath/Holidays. The
“HIGH TEMP” alarm is permitted when cabinet
temperature is outside the safe zone for 20
minutes. The alarm silences itself after 10
minutes while the “HIGH TEMP” icon stays lit
until the Sabbath mode is exited.
For further assistance, guidelines for proper
usage and a complete list of models

NOTE
While in Sabbath Mode, neither the lights,
dispenser, nor the control panel will work
until Sabbath Mode is deactivated.
Refrigerator stays in Sabbath Mode
after power failure recovery. It must be
deactivated with the buttons on the control
panel.

Cantilever Shelf Adjustment
Refrigerator shelves are easily adjusted to
suit individual needs. Before adjusting the
shelves, remove all food. Cantilever shelves are
supported at the back of the refrigerator.
To adjust cantilever shelves:
1 Lift front edge up.
2 Pull shelf out.
Replace the shelf by inserting the hooks at
rear of the shelf into the wall bracket. Lower
the shelf into the desired slots and lock into
position.
Glass shelves (some models) catch and hold
accidental spills. In some models, the glass
shelves slide out for easy access to food
and for fast cleaning. The shelves slide out
independently of their mounting brackets. Just
pull the front of the shelf forward. Shelves can
be extended as far as the stopper will allow
but are not removable from their mounting
brackets.
Door storage
Door bins and shelves are provided for
convenient storage of jars, bottles, and cans.

IMPORTANT
Turning off the ice maker simply disables
ice making. You will still be able to dispense
existing ice, and you will still be able to
dispense water.
AUTOMATIC ICE & WATER DISPENSER
NOTE
The water dispenser has a built-in device that
shutsoffthewaterowafterthreeminutes
of continuous use. To reset this shutoff
device, simply release the dispenser paddle.
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.
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.

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

Thiswillallowthebintollcompletely.
Ice Maker and Storage Bin
Capacity
This ice maker should produce 2.5 to 3 pounds
of ice per 24 hours, depending on usage
conditions. Ice is produced at a rate of 10
cubes every 75 to 90 minutes.
How much ice can be stored in
the ice bin?
When completely full, the bin in standard
depth units will hold about 11 pounds of ice
(total weight of ice and bin will be about 15
pounds). The bin in counter depth units will
hold about 8.5 pounds of ice (total weight of
ice and bin will be about 12 pounds).
Turning the ice maker on and off
Ice production is controlled by the ice maker’s
On/Off feature on the control panel. Pressing
and holding the On/Off button toggles the ice
maker On/Off.
NOTE
Dispensed water is not chilled. For colder
water, add ice to cup or container before

Ice maker/dispenser tips
• If your refrigerator is not connected to a
water supply or the water supply is turned
off, turn off 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
• When dispensing ice, you will hear a
snapping or clicking sound when the ice
chute opens and closes.
• Ifyouneedalargequantityoficeatone
time, it is best to get cubes directly from
the ice bin.
• Ice cubes stored too long may develop an
oddavor.Emptytheicebinasexplained

• When dispensing cubed ice, it is normal to
haveasmallquantityoflittlepiecesalong
with the whole cubes.
• To avoid splashing, dispense ice into your
containerbeforeaddingliquids.
• Itisnormalforicetolltothetopofthe

IMPORTANT
Your ice maker is turned on at the factory
so it can work as soon as you install your
refrigerator. If you cannot connect a water
supply, set the ice maker’s On/Off feature
toOff;otherwise,theicemaker’sllvalve
may make a loud chattering noise when it
attempts to operate without water.
Using the ice maker after

CAUTION
Besuretormlysupporttheunderside
of the ice bin when removing it from the
refrigerator. A standard depth bin that is full
of ice will weigh about 15 pounds total, and
a counter depth bin that is full of ice will
weigh about 12 pounds total.
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.
IMPORTANT
When removing or replacing the ice bin,
avoid rotating the auger in the ice bin. If
the auger is accidentally rotated, you must
realign the auger by turning it in 45 degree
turns(seebelow)untiltheicebintsinto
place with the drive mechanism. If the
auger is not properly aligned when replacing
the ice bin, the refrigerator will not dispense
ice. The freezer door also may not close
properly causing warm air to leak into the
freezer compartment.
