IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Safety Instructions
• DO NOT store or use gasoline, or
other flammable liquids in the vicinity
of this or any other appliance. Read
product labels for warnings regard-
ing flammability and other hazards.
• DO NOT operate the refrigerator in
the presence of explosive fumes.
• Avoid contact with any moving parts
of automatic ice maker.
• Remove all staples from the carton.
Staples can cause severe cuts, and
also destroy finishes if they come in
contact with other appliances
or furniture.
IMPORTANT
CFC/HCFC Disposal
Some old refrigerators may have a cool-
ing system that used CFCs or HCFCs
(chlorofluorocarbons or hydrochloro-
fluorocarbons). CFCs and HCFCs are
believed to harm stratospheric ozone if
released to the atmosphere. Other re-
frigerants may also cause harm to the en-
vironment if released to the atmosphere.
If disposing of an old refrigerator, make
sure the refrigerant is removed for proper
disposal by a qualified technician. Inten-
tionally released refrigerant may subject
one to fines and imprisonment under
provisions of environmental legislation.
Before disposing of an old refrigerator/
freezer:
• Remove doors.
• Leave shelves in place so children
may not easily climb inside.
• Have refrigerant removed by a
qualified service technician.
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 suocation.
Proper Disposal of Refrigerator
or Freezer
Risk of child entrapment
Child entrapment and suocation are not
problems of the past. Junked or aban-
doned refrigerators or freezers are still
dangerous – even if they will sit for “just
a few days”. When disposing of an old
refrigerator or freezer, please follow the in-
structions below to help prevent accidents.
Proper Disposal of Refrigerators/Freezers
We strongly encourage responsible appli-
ance recycling/disposal methods. Check
with the utility company or visit energy-
star.gov/recycle for more information on
recycling an old refrigerator.
NOTE
This unit is equipped with a cooling
system where one of the Refrigerator/
Freezer sections may cool slower than
the other initially. Allow 24 hours for
unit to stabilize and reach the desired
temperatures.

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 technician to prevent any risk.
• Never unplug the refrigerator by
pulling on the power cord. Always
grip the plug firmly, 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 aected if
the voltage varies by 10% or more.
Operating the refrigerator with
insucient power can damage the

CAUTION
To Avoid Property Damage:
• We recommend copper or stainless
Steel braided tubing for the water
supply line. We do not recommend
using water supply tubing made of
¼ inch plastic. Plastic tubing greatly
increases the potential for water
leaks, and the manufacturer will not
be responsible for any damage if you
use plastic tubing 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 a water softening system
is present, ensure the softener is
maintained and working properly.
14
WATER SUPPLY CONNECTION
IMPORTANT
Ensure the water supply line connections
comply with all local plumbing codes.
To install the water supply line, you will
need the following:
• Basic Tools: adjustable wrench,
flat-blade screwdriver, and Phillips
TM
screwdriver
• Access to a household cold water
line with water pressure between 30
and 100psi.
• A water supply line made of ¼"
(6.4mm) OD, copper or braided
stainless steel tubing. To determine
the length of tubing needed,
measure the distance from the main
water inlet valve at the back of the
refrigerator to the cold water pipe.
Then add approximately 6 feet (1.8
meters), so the refrigerator can be
moved out for cleaning.
• A shuto valve to connect the water
supply line to the household water
system. DO NOT use a self-piercing
type shuto valve.
• Do not reuse compression fitting or
use thread seal tape.
• A compression nut and ferrule
(sleeve) for connecting a copper
water supply line to the main water
inlet valve.
IMPORTANT
The refrigerator’s water supply system
includes several tubing lines, a water fil-
ter, and a water valve. To ensure the wa-
ter dispenser works properly, you must
completely fill this system with water
when the refrigerator is first connected
to the household water supply line.
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 local building authority for
recommendations on water lines and
associated materials prior to install-
ing refrigerator. Depending on local/
state building codes, we recommend
for homes with existing valves its Smart
Choice
®
water line kit 5304437642 with
a 6ft. (1.8 meters) braided Stainless
Steel Water Line. Please refer to
Frigidaire.com for more information.

Ice Maker Operation & Care
After you have properly installed the re-
frigerator, the ice maker can produce ice
within 24hours. When using the ice mak-
er for the first time, and in order for it to
work properly, you must clear air from the
water tubing and the filter. Furthermore,
you do not flush the system, the first ice
cubes may be discolored or have an odd
flavor. Once the ice maker begins making
ice, allow the bin to fill completely, and
then discard the first FULL bin of ice.
Ice Maker and Storage
Bin Capacity
Both counter depth and standard depth
model ice makers should produce 2 to 2.5
pounds of ice per 24 hours depending on
usage conditions. The counter depth ice
bin will hold about 4.5 pounds of ice, and
the standard depth ice bin will hold about
7 to 7.5 pounds of ice.
Turning the ice maker on and o
Press the power button to turn the ice
maker on (button should illuminate).
NOTE
The ice maker will only produce the ad-
vertised production rate if the product
is set at 0°F.
NOTE
The freezer ice maker fills in the center
of the ice bin. Occasionally move the
ice to the borders to allow the bin to
fill completely.

STORING FOOD AND SAVING ENERGY
Ideas for storing foods
Fresh food storage
• Keep the fresh food compartment
between 34°F and 44°F with an
optimum temperature of 37°F.
• Avoid overcrowding the refrigerator
shelves, which reduces air circulation
and causes uneven cooling.
• Avoid placing food in front of air ports.
(See CONTROLS AND SETTINGS for
illustration.)
Fruits and vegetables
• Store fruits and vegetables in crisper
drawers, where trapped moisture
helps preserve food quality for longer
time periods.
• Do not wash items until ready to use.
Remove excess water before placing
inside unit.
• 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 Custom-Flex
TM
Temp Drawer
to store meat/poultry 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
(-18°C) or lower.
• A freezer operates most eciently
when it is at least ⅔ 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 o-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
Freeze Boost
so newly purchased
food designated for the freezer will
be preserved as quickly as possible.
• Activating Freeze Boost also will
help the freezer more eciently
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 eciently.
• Level the refrigerator so that the
doors close tightly.
Temperature settings
• Refer to CONTROLS AND
SETTINGS for illustration and
recommended 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.

NORMAL OPERATING SOUNDS
Understanding the sounds
coming from the refrigerator
High-eciency refrigerators may
introduce unfamiliar sounds. These
sounds normally indicate the 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 the refrigerator and the
sounds they can cause:
A Evaporators Refrigerant through the
evaporators may create a boiling or
gurgling sound.
B Evaporator fans Sounds of air being
forced through the refrigerator by the
evaporator fans may be heard.
C Defrost heaters During defrost cycles,
water dripping onto the defrost
heaters may cause a hissing or sizzling
sound. After defrosting, a popping
sound may occur.
D Automatic ice maker When ice has
been produced, sounds of ice cubes
falling into the ice bin may be heard.
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 o.
F Condenser fan Sounds of air being
forced through the condenser may be
heard.
G Compressor Modern, high-eciency
compressors run much faster than
previous models. The compressor may
have a noticeable hum or pulsating
sound during operation.
H Water valves Make a buzzing sound
each time they open to fill the ice
maker.
I Drain pan (not removable) Sounds
of water dripping into the drain pan
during the defrost cycle may be heard.
J Condenser May create minimal sounds
from forced air.
K Motorized damper May produce a
light humming during operation.
Features vary by model
L Ice dispenser When dispensing ice, a
snapping, clicking, or popping sound
may be heard.
NOTE
Energy ecient foam in the refrigerator
is not a sound insulator.
NOTE
During automatic defrost cycle, a red
glow in the back wall vents of the freez-
er compartment is normal.

• It is normal for a reverse osmosis
system to be below 20 psi during
the regenerative phase.
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 sup-
ply. Replace the water filter and if the
condition still occurs, check to see if
the water valve is not turned on all
the way or if there is a kinked water
supply line.
