General Safety
Safety Precautions
Do not attempt to install or operate your unit
until you have read the safety precautions
in this manual. Safety items throughout this
manual are labeled with a Danger, Warning,
or Caution based on the risk type.
Definitions
This is the safety alert symbol. It is
used to alert you to potential personal injury
hazards. Obey all safety messages that follow
this symbol to avoid possible injury or death.
• Do not store or use gasoline or other
flammable liquids near 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 the automatic ice maker.
• Remove all staples from the carton to
avoid injury. Staples can also damage
finishes if they come in contact with

Child Safety
Packing Materials:
• Packing cartons covered with rugs,
bedspreads, plastic sheets, or stretch
wrap may become airtight chambers
and can quickly cause suffocation.
• Destroy or recycle the product’s carton,
plastic bags, and any other exterior
wrapping material immediately after
the refrigerator is unpacked. Children
should never play with these items.
Child Entrapment and
Suffocation
These problems are not limited to the past.
Whether junked, abandoned, or temporarily
stored (even for a few hours), unattended
refrigerators and freezers are dangerous.
Please take the precautions listed below.
Proper Disposal of
Refrigerators/Freezers
We strongly encourage responsible
appliance recycling/disposal methods.
Check with your utility company or visit
www.energystar.gov/recycle for more
information on recycling your old refrigerator.
Before you recycle or dispose of your
old refrigerator/freezer:
• Remove the doors.
• Leave the shelves and baskets in place
so children may not easily climb inside.
• Have refrigerant and compressor oil
removed by a qualified service technician.
4
WARNING
You must follow these guidelines to
ensure that your refrigerator’s safety
mechanisms are operating correctly.
IMPORTANT
CFC/HCFC DISPOSAL
Your old refrigerator may have a
cooling system that used CFCs
or HCFCs (chlorofluorocarbons or
hydrochlorofluorocarbons). CFCs
and HCFCs are believed to harm
stratospheric ozone if released to the
atmosphere. Other refrigerants may
also cause harm to the environment if
released to the atmosphere.
If you are throwing away your old
refrigerator, make sure the refrigerant
is removed for proper disposal by a
qualified technician. If you intentionally
release refrigerant, you may be subject
to fines and imprisonment under
provisions of environmental legislation.
IMPORTANT
To turn off power to your refrigerator,
unplug the power cord from the wall
outlet.
• The refrigerator must be plugged into
its own dedicated 115 Volt, 60 Hz,
AC-only non-GFCI electric 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. Do not use an
extension cord or adapter plug.
• If the power cord is damaged,
it should be replaced by the
manufacturer, service technician, or a
qualified person.
• 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.
Electrical information
Grounding type wall receptacle
Power cord with
3-prong grounded plug
Do not, under any
circumstances,
cut, remove, or
bypass the
grounding prong.
Safety
• To avoid electrical shock, unplug the
refrigerator before cleaning and before
replacing a light bulb or LED light.
• 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 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.
IMPORTANT
Ensure that your water supply line
connections comply with all local
plumbing codes.
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.
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,
Electrolux recommends for homes
with existing valves its Smart Choice®
water line kit 5305513409 with a 6ft.
(1.8 meters) Stainless Steel Water Line
and for homes without an existing
valve, Electrolux recommends its Smart
Choice® water line kit 5305510264 with
a 20 ft. (6 meters) Copper Water Line
with self-tapping saddle valve. Please
refer to www.electroluxappliances.com
for more information.
Connecting the Water Supply
Before installing the water supply line,
you will need:
• Basic Tools: adjustable wrench,
flat-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 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 fitting or
use thread seal tape.
• A compression nut and ferrule (sleeve)
for connecting a copper water supply
line to the ice maker inlet valve.

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, lift the ice maker’s wire signal arm
to turn it off. Otherwise, the ice maker’s fill
valve may make a loud chattering noise
when it attempts to operate without water.
CAUTION
If the water supply to your refrigerator is
softened, be sure the softener is properly
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.
To loosen stuck ice, use warm water.
Before replacing the ice bin, make sure
it is completely dry.
Automatic Ice Maker
Ice maker operation & care
After the refrigerator is installed properly, the ice
maker can produce ice within 24 hours. It can
completely fill an ice bin in about three days.
When using the ice maker for the first time and
in order for the ice maker to work properly, it is
necessary to clear air from water filter tubing.
Once ice maker begins making ice, allow the
bucket to fill completely, then discard the first
TWO FULL buckets of ice. It will take at least
two days to completely fill the bucket on regular
ice making mode or 1½ days on fast ice mode.
The ice maker produces approximately
four 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 out. Lift
the wire signal arm to turn the ice maker OFF
and lower the wire signal arm to turn it ON.
Ice maker tips
• If your refrigerator is not connected to
a water supply or the water supply is
turned off, turn off the ice maker by
lifting wire signal arm.
Fast Ice Function
Your refrigerator is equipped with a Smart
Fast Ice Function, that will, if activated at
your user interface, allow an increase in ice
production. You do not need to deactivate
it, if not needed, your refrigerator will
operate on normal conditions.
Cleaning the ice maker
Clean the ice maker and ice bin at regular
intervals, especially prior to vacation or moving.
1 Turn off the ice maker.
2 Remove the ice bin.
3 Empty and carefully clean the ice bin
with mild detergent. Do not use harsh or
abrasive cleaners. Rinse with clean water.

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 Cool Zone
TM
or Perfect
Temp
TM
drawer and set to meat/
poultry setting for short-term storage.
Any meat to be kept longer than two
days should be frozen.
Frozen food storage
• Keep the freezer compartment at 0°F
or lower.
• A freezer operates most efficiently
when it is at least ⅔ 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-flavor (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
fast freeze so that on your return you
can ensure your newly purchased
food designated for the freezer will be
preserved as quickly as possible.
Storing Food and Saving Energy
• Activating fast freeze also will help
your freezer more efficiently 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 appliances will help the
refrigerator operate more efficiently.
• 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.

NOTE
Energy efficient foam in your refrigerator
is not a sound insulator.
Normal Operating Sounds
Understanding the
sounds you may hear
Your new, high-efficiency refrigerator
may introduce unfamiliar sounds. These
sounds normally indicate your refrigerator
is operating correctly. Some surfaces on
floors, 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. Water
valve activation 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-efficiency
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 fill 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.
K Motorized Perfect Temp

Common Solutions for Concerns
Before you call...
If you experience a concern with your refrigerator or notice a product behavior or
condition that you do not understand, you can usually avoid a call to your service
representative by referring to this section for an answer. Beginning with the following
table, this information includes concerns, potential causes, and common solutions.
Concern Potential Cause Common Solution
Automatic Ice Maker
Ice maker is
not making
any ice.
• Ice maker is turned off.
• Refrigerator is not
connected to water line or
water valve is not open.
• The water supply line is
kinked.
• The water filter is not
seated properly.
• The water filter may be
clogged with foreign
material.
• Saddle valve on cold
water pipe is clogged
or restricted by foreign
material.
• Lower the wire signal arm.
• Connect the unit to the household
water supply and ensure the supply
valve is open.
• Ensure that the supply line does not
kink when the refrigerator is pushed
into place against the wall.
• Remove and re-install the water filter.
Be sure to push the filter firmly so that
you hear it lock solidly into position.
• If water dispenses slowly or not at
all, or if the filter is six months old or
older, it should be replaced.
• Turn off household water line valve.
Remove valve. Ensure that valve is
not a self-piercing saddle valve. Clean
valve. Replace valve if necessary.
Ice maker is
not making
enough ice.
• Ice maker is producing
less ice than you expect.
• The water filter may be
clogged with foreign
material.
• The water supply line is
kinked.
• Saddle valve on cold
water pipe is clogged
or restricted by foreign
material.
• Freezer control is set too
warm.
• The freezer ice maker will produce
approximately 2.5 pounds of ice every 24
hours depending on usage conditions.
• If the filter is six months old or older,
it should be replaced.
• Ensure that the supply line does not
kink when the refrigerator is pushed
into place against the wall.
• Turn off household water line valve.
Remove valve. Ensure that valve is
not a self-piercing saddle valve. Clean
valve. Replace valve if necessary.
• Set freezer control to colder setting
to improve performance of the
ice maker. Allow 24 hours for

Ice maker
will not stop
making ice.
• Ice maker wire signal
arm is being held down
by some package in the
freezer that has fallen
against the ice maker.
• Move the item and release wire signal
arm. Remove any ice cubes that may
have frozen together over the wire
signal arm.
Ice cubes
are freezing
together.
• Ice cubes are not being
used frequently enough.
• Ice cubes are hollow
(shells of ice with water
inside). The hollow cubes
break open in the bin
and leak their water onto
existing ice, which causes
it to freeze together.
• Remove ice container and discard ice.
The ice maker will produce fresh supply.
Ice should be used at least twice weekly
to keep the cubes separated.
• This generally occurs when the ice
maker does not get enough water.
This is usually the result of a clogged
water filter. Replace the water filter.
