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
• 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

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.

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.
Installation
• Allow the following clearances for ease
of installation, proper air circulation, and
plumbing and electrical connections:
Sides & Top 3⁄8 inch (9.5 mm)
Back 1 inch (25.4 mm)
Installation
Door 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.
Guidelines for final posi-
tioning of your refrigerator
• All four corners of the cabinet must
rest firmly on the floor.
• The cabinet should be level at the front
and rear.
• The sides should tilt ¼ inch (6 mm)
from front to back (to ensure that
doors close and seal properly).
• Doors should align with each other
and be level.
CAUTION
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.
NOTE
If your refrigerator is placed with the
door hinge against a wall, you may have
to allow additional space so the door
can be opened wider.

Connecting the Water Supply
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 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
water softener can damage the
ice maker. If your home has a
water softening system, ensure
the softener is maintained and
working properly.
IMPORTANT
Ensure that your water supply line
connections comply with all local
plumbing codes.
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 5305513409 with a 6
ft. (1.8 meters) Stainless Steel Water
Line and for homes without an existing
valve, Frigidaire 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.frigidaire.com/store for
more information.
IMPORTANT
After connecting the water supply, refer
to “How to Prime the Water Supply
System” for important information about
priming an empty water supply system.
Your refrigerator’s water supply system
includes several tubing lines, a water
filter and a water valve. To ensure that
your water dispenser works properly, this
system must be completely filled with water
when your refrigerator is first connected to
the household water supply line.
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.
• Do not re-use 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.
13
Connecting the Water Supply
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 (¼inch/6.4mm). 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 braided flexible stainless
steel tubing - The nut is already
assembled on the tubing. Slide nut
onto valve inlet and finger tighten 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 to rear panel of
refrigerator as shown.
6 Coil excess water supply line (copper
tubing only), about 2½turns, behind
refrigerator as shown and arrange
coils so they do not vibrate or wear
against any other surface. Do not
kink tubing.
7 Turn ON water supply at shutoff valve
and tighten any connections that
leak.
8 Reconnect refrigerator to electrical
power source.
9 To turn ice maker on, lower wire

Automatic Ice & Water Maker/Dispenser
Priming the water sup-
ply system
1 Begin filling the tank 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 three
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.
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, 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.
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.
NOTE
The water dispenser has a built-in device that
shuts off the water flow after three minutes of
continuous use. To reset this shutoff device,
simply release the dispenser paddle.
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.
IMPORTANT
Turning off the ice maker will result in
existing ice melting in the bin.
IMPORTANT
Turning off the ice maker will disable the
ice dispenser. You will still be able to
dispense 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
seconds to turn the ice maker “ON” or
“OFF”. When the ice maker is “OFF” the

Dispensed water is not chilled. For
colder water, add ice to cup or container
before dispensing water.
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.

Automatic Ice & Water Maker/Dispenser
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 for three 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.
• When dispensing cubed ice, it is
normal to have a small quantity of little
pieces along with the whole cubes.
• Ice cubes stored too long may
develop an odd flavor. Empty the ice
bin as explained below.
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.
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 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.
Removing Ice Bin
CAUTION
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 bin, make
sure it is completely dry.
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 water.
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 bin will
not install correctly. The fresh food door also
may not close properly causing warm air to
leak into the fresh food compartment.
Adjusting Ice Bin Auger
Auger
IMPORTANT
On occasion, unusually small ice cubes 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 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.

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 deli drawer or Custom 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 2/3 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
“express 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 “express 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.
25
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. 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 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 Custom Temp
TM
drawer damper May produce a light
humming during operation.
NOTE
During automatic defrost cycle, a red
glow in the back wall vents of your
freezer compartment is normal.
NOTE
Energy efficient foam in your refrigerator
is not a sound insulator.
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.
N Custom Temp

Solutions to Common Problems
Automatic Ice Maker (cont’d)
Problem Cause Correction
Ice cubes
are freezing
together.
• Ice cubes are not being
used frequently enough
or interruption of power
for prolonged time.
• 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 or restricted water supply. Replace
the water filter and if the condition still
occurs check for a Saddle Valve, water
valve not turned on all the way or kinked
water supply line.
Dispenser (Ice & Water)
Problem Cause Correction
Dispenser
will not
dispense ice.
• Dispenser lock out is
engaged.
• Water supply is not
connected.
• Ice storage bin is
empty.

The Water Supply section.
• Ensure ice maker is turned on. When the
first supply of ice is dropped into the bin,
the dispenser should operate.
• Open household water line valve. Allow
sufficient time for the ice to be made. When
ice is made, the dispenser should operate.
• Ensure Fresh Food door is closed. See
Problem Section, Opening/Closing of
Doors/Drawers.
• Motor is overloaded. Motor overload
protector will reset in approximately three
minutes. Ice can then be dispensed.
Ice
dispenser is
jammed.
• Ice has melted and
frozen around auger
due to infrequent use,
temperature fluctuations,
and/or power outages.
• Ice cubes are frozen
together.
• Ice cubes are smaller
than normal.
• Remove ice bin, thaw, and empty the
contents. Clean bin, wipe dry, and
replace in proper position. When new ice
is made, dispenser should operate.
• Use the dispenser often so that cubes
do not freeze together.
• The ice & water filter cartridge could be
clogged. Replace the filter cartridge.
Dispensing system operates best at
30-100 psi water pressure. Well water
pressures should fall within this range.
Dispenser
will not
dispense
water.
• Dispenser lock out is
engaged.
• Water filter not seated
properly.
• Water filter is clogged.
