This Use & Care Guide provides general installation
and operating instructionsfor your model. We
recommend using a service or kitchen contracting
professional to install your refrigerator. Use the
refrigerator only as instructed in this Use & Care
Guide. Before starting the refrigerator, follow these
important first steps.
,, Choose a place that is near a grounded, non-
GFCI, electrical outlet. Do Not use an extension
cord or an adapter plug.
* If possible, place the refrigerator out of direct
sunlight and away from the range, dishwasher, or
other heat sources.
,, The refrigerator must be installed on a floor that
is level and strong enough to support a fully
loaded refrigerator.
,, Consider water supply availability for models
equipped with an automatic ice maker.
CAUTION
DO NOT install the refrigerator where the
temperature will drop below 55°F (13°O) or rise
above 110°F (43°C). The compressor will not be
able to maintain proper temperatures inside the
refrigerator,
DO NOT block the toe grille on the lower front
of your refrigerator. Sufficient air circulation
is essential for the proper operation of your
refrigerator.

Connecting the Water u ply 13
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.
CAUTION
To Avoid Property Damage:
• Copper or Stainiees Steel braided tubing is
recommended for the water supply line. Water
supply tubing made of 1Ainch 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.
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 (6.4 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).
,, A shutoff valve to connect the water supply line
to your household water system. DO NOT use a
self-piercing type shutoff valve.
,, A compression nut and ferrule (sleeve)br connecting
a copper water supply line to the ice maker inlet valve.
NOTE
Check with your local buildingauthority for
recommendations on water linesand associated materials
prior to installingyour new refrigerator. Depending on
your local/state buildingcodes, Electrolux recommends for
homes with existing valves its Smart Choice@water linekit
5305513409 (with a 6 ft. Stainless Steel Water Line) and for
homes without an existing valve, Electrolux recommends
itsSmart Choice water_ line kit 5305510264 (with a 20 ft.
Copper Water Line with self-tapping saddle valve). Please
refer to www.frigidaire.corrVstorefor more information.

Automatic ice Water aker/Dispenser 19
Priming the water supply system
CAUTION
For proper dispenser operation, recommended
water supply pressure should fall between 30 psi
and 100 psi. Excessive pressure may cause water
filter to malfunction.
Begin filling the tank by pressing and holding a
drinking glass against the water dispenser paddle.
Keep the glass in 7 =
this position until
water comes out
of the dispenser, it
may take about
11/2minutes.
Continue
dispensing water
for about three (3)
minutes to flush
the system and
plumbing connections of any impurities (stopping
to empty the glass as necessary).
NOTE
The water dispenser has a built-in device that shuts
off the water flow after three (3) minutes of continuous
use. To reset this shutoff device, simply release the
dispenser paddle.
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, tt can completely fill an ice bin in about
eight (8) hours.
The ice maker produces approximately nine (9) pounds
of ice every 24 hours depending on usage conditions.
IMPORTANT
Your ice maker is turned on at the factory so it can work
as soon as you install your refrigerator. Ifyou cannot
connect a water supply, set the ice maker's On/Off icon
to Off and turn off the water supply valve; otherwise, the
ice maker's fill valve may make a loud chattering noise
when it attempts to operate without water.
Turning
melting
MPORTANT
off the ice maker 'will result in existing ice
in the bin.
IMPORTANT
Turning off the ice maker will disable the ice
dispenser. You wilt still be able to dispense water.
NOTE
The ice maker also has a built-in plastic signal bale
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.
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 (2) or three (3) empty ice maker cycles.
Furthermore, if the system is not flushed, the first ice
cubes may be discolored or have an odd flavor.
IMPORTANT
On occasion, unusually small disc-shaped ice may be
noticed in the bucket or in dispensed ice. This could
occur in normal operation of the ice maker. If you start
seeing these more frequently, it may be an indication
of low water pressure or the water filter needs to
be replaced. As the water filter nears the end of its
useful life and becomes clogged with particles, tess
water is delivered to the ice maker during each cycle.
Remember, if it's been six (6) months or longer since
you last changed your water filter, replace the water
filter with a new one. Poor quality household water may
require the filter to be changed more frequently.
Turning the ice maker on and off
Ice production is controlled by the ice maker's On/Off
icon on the control panel. Press and hold the "Ice Off"
icon for three (3) seconds to turn the ice maker "ON"
or "OFF". Where the ice maker is "OFF" the red LED
above the icon will be illuminated.

,, 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.
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.
Cleaning the ice maker

Removing ice Bin
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, jamming the dispenser mechanism.
You do not use the ice dispenser frequently: Ice
cubes wilt freeze together in the bin, jamming the
dispenser mechanism.
Remove the ice bin and shake to loosen the cubes or
clean as explained above.
CAUTION
NEVER use an ice pick or similar sharp
instrument to break up the ice.This could damage
the ice bin and dispenser mechanism.

replacing the ice bin, make sure it is completely
dry.
iMPORTANT
When removing or replacing the ice bin, DO NOT
rotate the auger in the ice bin. If the auger is
accidentally rotated, you must realign the auger by
turning it in 90 degree turns (see below) until the ice
bin fits into place with the drive mechanism. If the
auger is not properly aligned when replacing the ice
bin, the refrigerator will produce no ice. The fresh food
door also may not close properly causing warm air to
leak into the fresh food compartment.

Storing Food an Saving Energy
deas for storing foods
Fresh food storage
,, Keep the fresh food compartment between 34_ F
and 40 ° F with an optimum temperature of 37 ° F.
o 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.
o
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 dell drawer or Perfect TempTM drawer and
set to meat/poultry setting 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 efficiently 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-flavor
(freezer burn).
,, Wrap fresh meats and poultry with suitable
freezer wrap prior to freezing.
,, Do not refreeze meat that has completely
thawed.
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.
deas 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 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.
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.
,, Activating "fast freeze" also will help your
freezer more efficiently maintain the selected
temperature after placing new purchases with
pre-existing frozen foods.
