IMPORTANT
CFC/HCFC Disposal
Your old refrigerator may have a
cooling system that used CFCs or
HCFCs (chlorofluorocarbons or
hydrochlorofluorocarbons). 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 qualified
technician. If you intentionally release
refrigerant, you may be subject to fines
and imprisonment under provisions of
environmental legislation.
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 qualified
service technician.
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 regarding
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.
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.
WARNING
Do not use electrical appliances inside
the food storage compartments of the
appliance unless they are of the type
recommended by the manufacturer.
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”. If
you are getting rid of your old refrigerator or
freezer, please follow the instructions below
to help prevent accidents.

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 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 qualified
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
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
to avoid electrical shock.
• Performance may be affected if
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 electrical
outlet controlled by a wall switch or pull
cord to prevent the refrigerator from
being turned off accidentally.
IMPORTANT
To turn off power to your refrigerator you
must unplug the power cord from the
electrical outlet.
Grounding type wall receptacle
Power cord with
3-prong grounded plug
Do not, under
any circumstances,
cut, remove,
or bypass the
grounding prong.
CAUTION
To avoid personal injury or property
damage, handle tempered glass shelves
carefully. Shelves may break suddenly if
nicked, scratched, or exposed to sudden
temperature change.

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 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, Electrolux
recommends its Smart Choice
®
water line
kit 5308815072 with a 6 ft. (1.8 meters)
Stainless Steel Water Line for homes with
existing valves. Please refer to
www.electrolux.com for more information.
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.
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.
Before Installing the Water Supply
Line, You Will Need:
• Basic Tools: adjustable wrench, flat-
blade screwdriver, and a 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 water inlet valve at the back
of the refrigerator to your cold water
pipe. Then add approximately 6 feet
(1.8 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 fittings or
use thread seal tape.
• A compression nut and ferrule (sleeve)
for connecting a copper water supply
line to the ice maker inlet valve.
To Connect the Water Supply Line
To Main Water Inlet Valve
1. Disconnect refrigerator from electric
power source.
2. Place the end of water supply line into
a sink or bucket. Turn ON the water
supply and flush the supply line until
water is clear. Turn OFF the water
supply at shutoff valve.
3. Remove the plastic cap from water
valve inlet and discard.
WATER SUPPLY CONNECTION
17
WATER SUPPLY CONNECTION
IMPORTANT
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.
NOTE
These instructions do not cover after
market ice maker installation. Instructions
in after market ice maker kit should be
used.
4. If you use copper tubing - Slide the
brass compression nut, then ferrule
(sleeve) onto the water supply line.
Push the water supply line into
water valve inlet as far as it will go
(¼ inch/6.4 mm). Slide ferrule (sleeve)
into the valve inlet and finger tighten
the 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 the nut
onto the valve inlet and finger tighten
the nut onto valve. Tighten another
half turn with a wrench; DO NOT over
tighten. See Figure 2.
5. Using the 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 2½ turns, behind
the refrigerator as shown and arrange
coils so they do not vibrate or wear
against any other surface. Do not kink
tubing.
7. Turn ON the water supply at the shutoff
valve and tighten any connections that
leak.
8. Reconnect refrigerator to electrical
power source.
9. To turn ice maker on, ensure the Ice
Maker is enabled on display (LED
will be lit) or set the ice maker’s On/
off power switch to the “ON” position
(freezer ice maker).

CONTROLS AND SETTINGS
NOTE
Food placed within 1 in. in front of air ports
may cause food to freeze.
Sabbath Mode
The Sabbath Mode is a feature that disables
portions of the refrigerator and its controls in
accordance with observance of the weekly
Sabbath and religious holidays within the
Orthodox Jewish community.
Sabbath Mode is turned ON and OFF by
simultaneously pressing and holding both
the“−” and “Temp F-C” for five seconds. The
display shows “Sb” while in Sabbath mode.
In the Sabbath Mode, the High Temp alarm
is active for health reasons. For example,
if the door is left ajar the High Temp alarm
is activated. The refrigerator will function
normally once the door is closed, without
any violation of the Sabbath/Holidays. The
High Temp alarm is permitted when cabinet
temperature is outside the safe zone for 20
minutes. The alarm silences itself after 10
minutes while the High Temp icon stays lit
until the Sabbath mode is exited.
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.
NOTE
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.
NOTE
Although you have entered the Sabbath
Mode, the ice maker will complete the last
initiated cycle. The ice cube compartment
will remain cold and new ice cubes can
be made with standard trays.
22
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.
CAUTION
For proper dispenser operation,
recommended water supply pressure
should fall between 30 psi and 100 psi.
Excessive pressure may cause the system to
malfunction.
Priming the water supply system
1. Begin filling the system 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 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.
Ice Maker and Storage Bin Capacity
The refrigerator ice maker should produce
2.7 to 3.2 pounds of ice per 24 hours.
The refrigerator ice bin will hold around 3.7
pounds of ice.
Using the dispenser 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 have discolored water or have an odd
flavor.
NOTE
Dispensed water is not chilled. For colder
water, add ice to cup or container before
dispensing water.

Refrigerator Ice Maker
AUTOMATIC ICE & WATER DISPENSER
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 feature
to Off; otherwise, the ice maker’s fill valve
may make a loud chattering noise when it
attempts to operate without water.
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.
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 as
described in the previous section.
• 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
• 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.
• To avoid splashing, dispense ice into
your container before adding liquids.
• It is normal for ice to fill to the top of the
ice bin.
Cleaning the ice maker
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.
IMPORTANT
Turning off the ice maker simply disables
ice making. You will still be able to
dispense existing ice, and you will still be
able to dispense water.
NOTE
The ice maker also has a built-in plastic
signal 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.
Turning the refrigerator ice maker
on and off
Ice production is controlled by the ice
maker’s On/Off feature on the control panel.
Pressing the On/Off feature turns the ice
maker on & off.
24
Clean the ice maker and ice bin at regular
intervals, especially prior to vacation or
moving.
1. Turn off the ice maker.
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.
IMPORTANT
When removing or replacing the ice
bin, avoid rotating the auger in the ice
bin. If the auger is accidentally rotated,
you must realign the auger by turning
it in 45 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 not dispense ice. The
refrigerator door also may not close
properly causing warm air to leak into the
refrigerator compartment.
AUTOMATIC ICE & WATER DISPENSER
Removing Ice Bin
2. Lift the ice bin upward then pull straight
out to remove.
3. Empty and carefully clean the ice bin
with mild detergent. Do not use harsh
or abrasive cleaners. Rinse with clean
water.
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 refreeze together after
power is restored, jamming the dispenser
mechanism.
• You do not use the ice dispenser
frequently. Ice cubes will freeze
together in the bin, jamming the
dispenser mechanism.

Ice Maker Operation & Care
After the refrigerator is installed properly, the
ice maker can produce ice within 24 hours.
When using the ice maker for the first time,
and in order for it to work properly, it is
necessary to clear air from the water tubing
and the filter. Furthermore, if the system
is not flushed, 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, then discard the first FULL
bin of ice.
Ice Maker and Storage Bin
Capacity
This ice maker should produce between
2 and 2.5 pounds of ice per 24 hours
depending on usage conditions. The ice bin
should hold around 9 pounds of ice.

Ideas for storing foods
Refrigerator storage
• Keep the refrigerator 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.
• Avoid placing food in front of air ports.
(See Controls Section for illustration.)
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 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 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
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
Freeze Boost so that on your return
you can ensure your newly purchased
food designated for the freezer will be
preserved as quickly as possible.
• Activating Freeze Boost 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.

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.
NOTE
Energy efficient foam in your refrigerator is
not a sound insulator.
NOTE
During automatic defrost cycle, a red
glow in the back wall vents of your freezer
compartment is normal.
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 damper May produce a
light humming during operation.
L. Ice dispensing paddle When dispensing
ice, you will hear a snapping, clicking,
or popping sound.

Ice maker is
not making
any ice.
• Ice maker is turned off.
• Refrigerator is not
connected to water line or
water valve is not open.
• The water supply line is
kinked.
• The water filter is not
seated properly.
• The water filter may be
clogged with foreign
material.
• Ice maker bail arm is
being held up by an item
not allowing it to go in the
on or down position.
• Turn on ice maker. For the refrigerator

Be sure to seat it fully into the locked
position.
• If water dispenses slowly or not at all,
or if the filter is six months old or older,
it should be replaced.
• Move any item or frozen ice cubes that
may block the bail arm from being in
the on or down position. Additionally,
the ice bin itself may be out of position

Before You Call
If you experience a problem with your refrigerator or notice a product behavior or condition
that you do not understand, you can usually avoid a call to your service representative by
referring to this section for an answer. Beginning with the following table, this information
includes common concerns, causes, and suggested solutions.
41
Concern Potential Cause Common Solution
Automatic Ice Maker (Cont’d)
Ice maker is
not making
enough ice.
• Ice maker is producing
less ice than you expect.
• The water filter may be
clogged with foreign
material.
• The water supply line is
kinked.
• Saddle valve on cold
water pipe is clogged
or restricted by foreign
material.
• Heavy traffic, opening
or closing of the doors
excessively.
• Freezer control is set too
warm (freezer ice maker).
• Water pressure is
extremely low. Cut-off and
cut-on pressures are too
low (well systems only).
• Reverse osmosis system is
in regenerative phase.
• The freezer ice maker will produce
approximately 2.0 to 2.5 LBS and the
refrigerator ice maker will produce 3.0
to 3.2 LBS every 24 hours depending
on usage conditions.
• If water dispenses slower than normal,
or if the filter is six months old or older,
it should be replaced.
• Ensure that the supply line does not
kink when the refrigerator is pushed
into place against the wall.
• Turn off household water line valve.
Remove valve. Clean valve. Replace
valve if necessary.
• Set freezer control to colder setting to
improve performance of the ice maker
(freezer ice maker). Allow 24 hours for
temperature to stabilize.
• Have someone turn up the cut-off and
cut-on pressure on the water pump
system (well systems only).
• It is normal for a reverse osmosis
system to be below 20 psi during the
regenerative phase.
Freezer ice
maker will
not stop
making
ice (select
models).
• Ice maker bail arm is
being held down by a
package in the freezer
that has fallen against ice
maker.
• Move any item or frozen ice cubes that
may block the bail arm from being
in the off or upward position. See
Automatic Ice Maker-Freezer section
in manual.
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
clogged Saddle Valve, water valve not
turned on all the way or kinked water
supply line.
