IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Grounding type wall receptacle
Do not, under
any circumstances,
cut, remove,
or bypass the
grounding prong.
Power cord with
3-prong gounded plug
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 3-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 qualied 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 techni-
cian to prevent any risk.
• Never unplug the refrigerator by pulling on
the power cord. Always grip the plug rmly,
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 insufcient 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.
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
qualied service
technician.
IMPORTANT
CFC/HCFC Disposal
Your old refrigerator may have a cooling system
that used CFCs or HCFCs (chlorouorocarbons
or hydrochlorouorocarbons). CFCs and HCFCs
are believed to harm stratospheric ozone if
released to the atmosphere. Other refrigerants
may also cause harm to the environment if
released to the atmosphere.
If you are throwing away your old refrigerator,
make sure the refrigerant is removed for
proper disposal by a qualied technician. If
you intentionally release refrigerant, you may
be subject to nes and imprisonment under
provisions of environmental legislation.
WARNING
These guidelines must be followed to ensure
that safety mechanisms in this refrigerator
will operate properly.
IMPORTANT
Pressing and holding the On/Off button for
three seconds, located on the temperature
control panel (Electronic controls), or
turning the Freezer and Refrigerator controls
to “0” (Mechanical controls) will disable your
refrigerator’s cooling system, but does not
disconnect the power to the LED lighting
and other electrical components. To turn off
power to your refrigerator you must unplug
the power cord from the electrical outlet.
CAUTION
To avoid personal injury or property dam-
age, handle tempered glass shelves care-
fully. Shelves may break suddenly if nicked,
scratched, or exposed to sudden tempera-
ture change.

CONNECTING THE WATER SUPPLY
Before Installing The Water Supply Line,
You Will Need:
• Basic Tools: adjustable wrench, at-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
(6.4mm) 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
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 (¼ inch/6.4 mm). Slide ferrule
(sleeve) into valve inlet and nger tighten
compression nut onto valve. Tighten
another half turn with a wrench; DO NOT
over tighten. See Figure 1.
If you use braided exible stainless steel
tubing - The nut is already assembled on
the tubing. Slide nut onto valve inlet and
nger tighten nut onto valve. Tighten
another half turn with a wrench; DO NOT
overtighten. See Figure 2.
• 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 tting or use
thread seal tape.
• A compression nut and ferrule (sleeve) for
connecting a copper water supply line to
the ice maker inlet valve.
WARNING
To avoid electric shock, which can cause death
or severe personal injury, disconnect the
refrigerator from electrical power before con-
necting 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 poten-
tial 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 work-
ing properly.
IMPORTANT
Ensure that your water supply line connec-
tions comply with all local plumbing codes.
NOTE
Check with your local building authority for
recommendations on water lines and associ-
ated 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. Stain-
less Steel Water Line) and for homes without
an existing valve, Frigidaire recommends its
Smart Choice

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.
20
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.
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.
ON
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.
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.
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.
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 hol-
low 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 strip-
per. 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.

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.
CAUTION
Chemicals from a malfunctioning water soft-
ener 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 instru-
ment to break up the ice. This could damage
the ice storage bin and dispenser mechanism.
IMPORTANT
When removing or replacing the ice bin,
ensure that the ice bin is fully seated before
closing the freezer door. If the ice bin is not
positioned correctly the refrigerator will not
dispense ice. The freezer door also may not
close properly causing warm air to leak into
the freezer compartment.
22
Locating the Filter
Your refrigerator is equipped with a water ltering
system. The water lter system lters all dispensed
drinking water, as well as the water used to
produce ice.
Water Filter
The water lter is located at the top right side of
the refrigerator compartment.
Do not use with water that is microbiologically
unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate
disinfection before or after the system. Systems
certied for cyst reduction may be used on
disinfected waters that may contain lterable cysts.
