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) 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:

• BasicTools:adjustablewrench,at-blade

screwdriver, and Phillips

screwdriver

• Access to a household cold water line with

water pressure between 30 and 100 psi.

• A water supply line made of ¼ inch

(6.4mm) 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.TurnONwatersupplyandush



NOTE

Leafy vegetables keep best when stored with

the humidity control set on Higher Humidity,

or in a drawer without a Humidity Control.

This keeps incoming air to a minimum and

maintains maximum moisture content.

Crispers

Crispersallowyoutheexibilitytostoreany



NOTE

Your refrigerator may have some or all of the features listed below. Become familiar with these

IMPORTANT

Your ice maker is shipped from the factory

with the wire signal arm in the ON position.

To ensure proper function of your ice

maker, hook up water supply immediately

or turn ice maker OFF by lifting the wire

signal arm until it clicks and locks in the UP

position (side mounted). If the ice maker is

not turned off and the water supply is not

connected, the water valve will make a loud

chattering noise.

AUTOMATIC ICE & WATER DISPENSER

Priming the Water Supply System

Your refrigerator’s water supply system includes

severaltubinglines,anadvancedwaterlter,

a distribution valve bank, and a reserve tank

(some models) to ensure ample supply to

the ice and water dispenser at all times. This

systemneedstobecompletelylledwithwater

whenrstconnectedtoanexternalsupplyline.

To prime the water supply system:

1 Begin 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ushthesystemandplumbing

connections of any impurities (stopping to

empty the glass as necessary).

Ice Maker Operation & Care

The ice maker, ice bin, and dispenser feeding

mechanism are located in the top of the freezer

compartment. After the refrigerator is installed

properly and has cooled for several hours, the

ice maker can produce ice within 24 hours. It

cancompletelyllanicebininabouttwodays.

Using the Ice Maker after

Installation

Beforemakingicefortherst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ushed,thersticecubesmaybe

discoloredorhaveanoddavor.



NOTE

The water dispenser has a built-in device that

shutsoffthewaterowafterthreeminutes

of continuous use. To reset this shutoff

device, simply release the dispenser paddle.

CAUTION

For proper dispenser operation, recommended

water supply pressure should fall between 30

psi and 100 psi. Excessive pressure may cause

waterltertomalfunction.

Ice Production: What to Expect

How Much Ice Will a Side Mounted Ice

Maker Produce in 24 Hours?

A side mounted ice maker will produce 4 to 4.5

pounds of ice every 24 hours, depending on

usage conditions. Ice is produced at a rate of 8

cubes every 75 to 90 minutes.

OFF

Wire

Signal Arm

Turning the SIDE MOUNTED Ice

Maker On and Off

To begin ice production, lower the wire signal

arm to the DOWN or ON position. The ice

maker turns off automatically when the ice

container becomes full. To stop the ice maker,

raise the wire signal arm until it clicks and

locks in the UP or OFF position.

IMPORTANT

Small ice cubes or ice chips jamming in the

icemakermaybeasignthatyourwaterlter

needs changing. If you have a side mounted

ice maker you may also experience hollow

cubes partially frozen cubes with water inside.

When these cubes are harvested, they break

open and spill water over the other ice cubes

in the ice container, forming a solid mass of

ice.Asthewaterlternearstheendofits

useful life and becomes clogged with particles,

less water is delivered to the ice maker during

eachcycle.Theicemakercan’tlleverycube

in the ice maker mold, leading to small cubes

or chips that can get caught between the ice

ejector blades and the stripper. Remember,

if your ice maker is jamming with small ice

cubes or it’s been six months or longer since

youlastchangedyourwaterlterreplace

thewaterlterwithanewone.Poorquality

householdwatermayrequiretheltertobe

changedmorefrequently.

CAUTION

Chemicals from a malfunctioning water

softener can damage the ice maker. If the

water supply to your refrigerator is softened,

be sure the softener is maintained to work

properly.

CAUTION

NEVER use an ice pick or similar sharp

instrument to break up the ice. This could

damage the ice storage bin and dispenser

mechanism.

AUTOMATIC ICE & WATER DISPENSER

Ice Maker/Dispenser Tips

• Ice cubes stored too long may develop

anoddavor.Emptytheicecontaineras

explained below.

• Occasionally shake the ice container to keep

ice separated.

• If your refrigerator is not connected to a

water supply or the water supply is turned

off, turn Off the ice maker.

• Ifyouneedalargequantityoficeatone

time, it is best to get cubes directly from the

ice container.

• The following sounds are normal when the

ice maker is operating:

- Motor running

- Ice dropping into ice container

- Water valve opening or closing

- Ice loosening from tray

- Running water

• When dispensing ice, you will hear a

snapping or clicking sound when the ice

chute opens and closes.

• Turn Off the ice maker when cleaning the

freezer and during vacations.

- If you turn Off the ice maker for a

long period of time, you should also

turn off the water supply valve.

Cleaning the Ice Maker

Clean the ice maker and ice bin at regular

intervals, particularly before you take a

vacation or move.

To clean the ice maker:

1 Turn Off the ice maker.

2 Remove the ice bin by lifting up and out.

3 Empty and carefully clean the ice bin with

mild detergent. Rinse with clear water. Do

not use harsh or abrasive cleaners.

4 Allow the ice bin to dry completely before

replacing in the freezer.

5 Remove ice chips and clean the ice bin

shelf and the freezer door chute.

6 Replace the ice bin. Turn On the ice maker

to resume ice production.

Remove and empty the ice

storage bin if:

• An extended power failure (one hour or

longer) causes ice cubes in the ice storage

bin to melt and freeze together, 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 storage bin and shake to

loosen the cubes or clean as explained above.

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

tsintoplacewiththedrivemechanism.If

the auger is not properly aligned when

replacing the ice bin, the refrigerator will

only dispense Crushed Ice. The freezer door

may also not close properly causing warm

air to leak into the freezer.
