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.

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 throw away your old refrigerator/freezer:

• Remove doors.
• Leave shelves in place so children may not easily climb inside.
• Have refrigerant removed by a qualified service technician.

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 is damaged, 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.
• Do not plug the unit into an electrical outlet controlled by a wall switch or pull cord to prevent the refrigerator from being turned off accidentally

AUTOMATIC ICE & WATER DISPENSER

Priming the water supply system

1. Begin filling the system by pressing and holding a drinking glass against the water dispenser paddle.
2. Keep the glass in this position until water comes out of the dispenser. It may take about 1½ minutes.
3. Continue dispensing water for about four minutes to flush the system and plumbing connections of any impurities stopping to empty the glass as necessary).

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 fill the ice bin from the rear. You must dispense some ice to force the ice forward in the bin. This will allow the bin to fill completely

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.

Using the ice maker after installation

Before making ice for the first time, be sure to prime the water supply system. Air in new plumbing lines can result in two or three empty ice maker cycles. Furthermore, if the system is not flushed, the first ice cubes may be discolored or have an odd flavor.

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.
• If you need a large quantity of ice at one time, it is best to get cubes directly from the ice bin.
• Ice cubes stored too long may develop an odd flavor. Empty the ice bin as explained below.
• When dispensing cubed ice, it is normal to have a small quantity of little pieces along with the whole cubes.
• To avoid splashing, dispense ice into your container before adding liquids.
• It is normal for ice to fill to the top of the ice bin.

Cleaning the storage bin

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 by lifting up slightly on the front of the bin and pulling it straight out of the ice maker housing.

1. Empty and carefully clean the ice bin with mild detergent. Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaners. Rinse with clear water.
2. Allow the ice bin to dry completely before replacing in the freezer.
3. Remove ice chips and clean the ice bin shelf and the freezer door chute.
4. Replace the ice bin. Turn the ice maker on to resume ice production.

Remove and empty the ice bin if:

• An extended power failure (1 hour or longer) causes ice cubes in the ice bin to melt and refreeze together after power is restored, jamming the dispenser mechanism.

• You do not use the ice dispenser frequently. Ice cubes will freeze together in the bin, jamming the dispenser mechanism.

Remove the ice bin and shake to loosen the cubes or clean as explained above.

CHANGING THE FILTER

 

Locating the Filters

Your refrigerator is equipped with water filtering system. The water filter system filters all dispensed drinking water, as well as the water used to produce ice. The filter is located in the top right rear corner of the fresh food compartment.

Air Filter (some models)

The air filter is located at the top of the fresh food compartment next to the water filter.

Replacing the Air Filter

In general, you should change the air filter every six months (the filter status light on the control panel prompts you to replace the filter after six months) to 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 replace your PureSource UltraTM air filter:

1. Pull the air filter housing straight out.
2. Remove the old filter and discard it.
3. Unpack the new filter and place it inside the housing.
4. Slide the housing back into position.

Water Filter

The water filter is located at the top right side of the fresh food compartment.

Replacing the Water Filter

In general, you should change the water filter every six months to ensure the highest possible water quality. Water Filter Status on the user interface prompts you to replace the filter after a standard amount of water (125 gallons/473 liters for PureSource Ultra IITM) has flowed through the system. If your refrigerator has not been used for a period of time (during moving for example), change the filter before reinstalling the refrigerator.

Ordering Replacement Filters

To order your replacement filters, please visit our online store at www.frigidaire.com/store, by calling toll-free at 1-800-599-7569, or by visiting the dealer where you purchased your refrigerator. Frigidaire recommends that you order extra filters when you first install your refrigerator, and that you replace your filters at least once every 6 months. Here is the product number to request when ordering:

PureSource Ultra IITM Water Filter Part #EPTWFU01

To replace your PureSource Ultra IITM water filter:

It is not necessary to turn the water supply off to change the filter. Be ready to wipe up any small amounts of water released during the filter replacement.

1. Turn Off the ice maker power switch.
2. Remove the old filter by rotating it counterclockwise (to the left) 90 degrees to release it.
3. Slide the old filter cartridge straight out of the housing and discard it.
4. Unpackage the new filter cartridge. Slide it into the filter housing as far as it will go with the grip end horizontal.
5. Push lightly inward on the filter while rotating it clockwise (to the right). The filter will then pull itself inward as it is rotated. Rotate the filter 90 degrees until it stops and the grip end is vertical. You may be able to feel a very light click as the filter locks into place.
6. Press a drinking glass against the water dispenser while checking for any leaks at the filter housing. Any spurts and sputters that occur as the system purges air out of the dispenser system are normal.
7. Continue dispensing water for 3-4 minutes or until 1.5 gallons of water has flowed through the system. You will likely need to empty and refill your glass several times.
8. Turn On the ice maker.
9. Press and hold the Water Filter reset button on the control panel for three seconds. When the display changes from Red to Green, the status has been reset.
