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.

against a wall, you may have to allow additional space
so the door can be opened wider.
Door opening
NOTE
The refrigerator doors are designed to shut by
themselves within a 20 degree opening.
Your refrigerator should be positioned to aitow 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 positioning
of your refrigerator
* All four corners of the cabinet must rest firmly on
the floor.
e
o
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).

2 Connecting theWater upply
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 Properly 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 fine.
* 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) for connecting
a copper water supply lineto the ice maker inlet valve.
NOTE
Check with your local buildingauthority for
recommendations on ,waterlines and associated materials
prior to installingyour new refrigerator. Depending on
your local/state building codes, Electrolux recommends for
homes with existing valves itsSmart Choice@water line kit
5305513409 (with a 6 ft. Stainless Steel Water Line) and for
homes without an existing valve, Etectrotuxrecommends
its Smart Choice water_lbline kit5305510264 (with a 20 ft.

use. To reset this shutoff device, simply release the
dispenser paddle.
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 will produce up to 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. 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
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.
NOTE
The ice maker also has a built-in plastic signal bate
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, 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.

Storing Food and Saving Energy
ideas for storing foods
Fresh food storage
,, Keep the fresh food compartment between 34 ° F
and 40° F with an optimum temperature of 37° R
- 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
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 Custom Temp TM 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.
o 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.
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.
o 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 "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.
,, Activating "express freeze" also will help your
freezer more efficiently maintain the selected
temperature after placing new purchases with
pre-existing frozen foods.

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.
Installation
,, Allow the following clearances for ease of
installation, proper air circulation, and plumbing
and electrical connections:
Sides & Top ¾ inch (9.5 mm)
Back 1 inch (25.4 mm)
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.
Door opening
NOTE
The refrigerator doors are designed to shut by
themselves within a 20 degree opening.
Your refrigerator should be positioned to aitow 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 positioning
of your refrigerator
* All four corners of the cabinet must rest firmly on
the floor.
e
o
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.
Most of these conditions can be met by raising or
lowering the adjustable front rollers.

2 Connecting theWater upply
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 Properly 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 fine.
* 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) for connecting
a copper water supply lineto the ice maker inlet valve.
NOTE
Check with your local buildingauthority for
recommendations on ,waterlines and associated materials
prior to installingyour new refrigerator. Depending on
your local/state building codes, Electrolux recommends for
homes with existing valves itsSmart Choice@water line kit
5305513409 (with a 6 ft. Stainless Steel Water Line) and for
homes without an existing valve, Etectrotuxrecommends
its Smart Choice water_lbline kit5305510264 (with a 20 ft.
Copper Water Line with self-tapping saddle valve). Please

2. Place end of water supply line into sink or bucket.
-rijrn 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 inch/ 6.4 mm). Slide ferrule (sleeve) into valve
inlet and finger tighten compression nut onto valve.

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, a water valve, and
a water tank.To ensure that your water dispenser
works properly, this system must be completely

use. To reset this shutoff device, simply release the
dispenser paddle.
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 will produce up to 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. 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
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.
NOTE
The ice maker also has a built-in plastic signal bate
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, 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.

Storing Food and Saving Energy
ideas for storing foods
Fresh food storage
,, Keep the fresh food compartment between 34 ° F
and 40° F with an optimum temperature of 37° R
- 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
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 Custom Temp TM 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.
o 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.
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.
o 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 "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.
,, Activating "express freeze" also will help your
freezer more efficiently maintain the selected
temperature after placing new purchases with
pre-existing frozen foods.
