Child Safety
Destroy or recycle the carton, plastic bags, and any
exterior wrapping material immediately after the
refrigerator is unpacked. Children should NEVER
use these items to play. Cartons covered with rugs,
bedspreads, plastic sheets or stretch wrap may become
airtight chambers, and can quickly cause suffocation.
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".

This Use & Care Guide provides general installation and
operating instructions for 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,
Location
- 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.
Do Not install the refrigerator where the temperature
will drop below 55°F (13°C) 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.
Installation
- Allow the following clearances for ease of
installation, proper air circulation, and plumbing
and electrica! connections:
Sides & Top 3/8 inch (9.5 mm)
Back 1 inch (25.4 ram)
If your refrigerator is placed with the door hinge side
against a wall, you may have to allow additional space
so the door can be opened wider.
Door opening
The refrigerator doors are designed to shut by
themselves within a 20 degree opening.
Your refrigerator should be positioned to allow easy
access to a counter when removing food. For best use of
refrigerator drawers and freezer baskets, the refrigerator
should be in a position where both can be fully opened.

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.
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, .......................
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 PhillipsTMscrewdriver
o Access to a household cold water line with water
pressure between 30 and 100 psi.
- A water supply line made of 1/4inch (6.4ram) 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) for connecting
a copper water supply line to the ice maker inlet valve.
Check with your loca! building authority for
recommendations on water lines and associated
materials prior to installingyour new refrigerator.
Depending on your local/state building codes, Frigidaire
recommends for homes with existing valves its Smart
Choice® water line kit 5305513409 (with a 6 ft.
Stainless Steel Water Line) and for homes without an
existing valve, Frigidaire recommends its Smart Choice
water® line kit 5305510264 (with a 20 ft. Copper Water
Line with self-tapping saddle valve). Please refer to
www.frigidaire.com/store for more information.
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 flush 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 (1/4 inch/6.4 mm). Slide
ferrule (sleeve) into valve inlet and finger tighten
compression nut onto valve. Tighten another half
turn with a wrench; DO NOT over tighten. See
Figure 1.
If you use stainless steel tubing - The nut and
ferrule are already assembled on the tubing. Slide
compression nut onto valve inlet and finger tighten
compression nut onto valve. Tighten another half
turn with a wrench; DO NOT over tighten. See
Figure 2.
5. With steel clamp and screw, secure water
supply line (copper tubing only) to rear panel of
refrigerator as shown.
6. Coil excess water supply line (copper tubing only),
about 21/2turns, behind refrigerator as shown and
arrange coils so they do not vibrate or wear against
any other surface.
7. Turn ON water supply at shutoff valve and tighten
any connections that leak.
8. Reconnect refrigerator to electrica! power source.

during time, example
due to a door left ajar, the alarm will sound
intermittently for about 10 minutes. The
alarm will then silence on its own and a red
high temperature icon will display. The high temp icon
will continue to display, even if the door is closed, until
the Sabbath mode is exited and the icon reset. The
refrigerator will function normally once the door is closed
without any violation of the Sabbath/Holidays.
For further assistance, guidelines for proper usage and a
complete list of models with the Sabbath feature, please
visit the web at http:\\www.star=k.org.
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.
Although you have entered the Sabbath Mode, the ice
maker will complete the cycle it had already initiated.
The ice cube compartment will remain cold and new ice
cubes can be made with standard trays.
Priming the water supply system
For proper dispenser operation, recommended water
supply pressure should fall between 30 psi and 100
psi. Excessive pressure may cause water filter to
malfunction. ..................
1 Begin filling the tank by pressing and holding a
drinking glass against the water dispenser paddle.
Keep the glass in this
position until water
comes out of the
dispenser. It may
take about 11/2
minutes,
Continue dispensing
water for about four
(4) minutes to flush the
system and plumbing
connections of any
impurities(stopping to empty the glass as necessary),
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
Turning off the ice maker will result in existing ice
melting in the bin.
Turning off the ice maker will disable the ice dispenser.
You will still be able to dispense water. .......................................................................................
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.
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. It 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.
Your ice maker is turned on at the factory so it can work
as soon as you installyour refrigerator. If you 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 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.
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, less
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.
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 by holding the On/Off soft-touch
icon and the water shut-off valve for three (3)
seconds.
- 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.
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
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 pulling straight
out.
3 Empty and carefully
clean the ice bin
with mild detergent.
Do not use harsh or
abrasive cleaners.
Rinse with clear

4 Allow the ice bin Removing 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:
o 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 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.
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 b!n, make sure it iS completely dry: .....................................................................
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.

Ideas for storing foods
Fresh food storage
= Keep the fresh food compartment between 34° F
and 40° F with an optimum temperature of 37° E
- 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 deli drawer to store meat/poultry 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 2/3full.
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 "quick 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 "quick 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 (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.
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. Ice maker fan, water valve activation, and
refrigerant gas fluid 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 fi!l 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.
L Ice dispensing paddle When dispensing ice, you
will hear a snapping, clicking, or popping sound
when the solenoid opens and closes the ice chute.
M Motorized damper May produce a light
humming during operation.
Energy efficient foam in your refrigerator is not a sound
insulator.
During automatic defrost cycle, a red glow in the back
wall vents of your freezer compartment is normal.
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.
Water Filter
The water filter is located at the top right side of the
flesh 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
(200 ga!lons/757 liters for PureSource Ultra TM) 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
