IMPORTANT
CFC/HCFC Disposal
Your old appliance may have a cooling
system that used CFCs or HCFCs (chlo-
rofluorocarbons or hydrochlorofluoro-
carbons). CFCs and HCFCs are believed
to harm stratospheric ozone if released
to the atmosphere. Other refrigerants
may also cause harm to the environ-
ment if released to the atmosphere.
If you are throwing away your old
appliance, 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 provi-
sions of environmental legislation.
Proper Disposal of your Appliance
Risk of child entrapment
Child entrapment and suocation are not
problems of the past. Junked or aban-
doned appliances are still dangerous –
even if they will sit for “just a few days”. If
you are getting rid of your old appliance,
please follow the instructions below to
help prevent accidents.
We strongly encourage responsible appli-
ance recycling/disposal methods. Check
with your utility company or visit ener-
gystar.gov/products/recycle for more infor-
mation on recycling your old appliance.
Before you throw away
your old appliance:
• Remove door.
• Leave shelves in
place so children
may not easily
climb inside.
• Have refrigerant

WATER SUPPLY CONNECTION (SOME MODELS)
IMPORTANT
Ensure the water supply line connections
comply with all local plumbing codes.
To install the water supply line, the
following are needed:
• Basic Tools: adjustable wrench, flathead
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 ¼in.
(6.4mm) OD, copper or stainless
steel tubing. To determine the length
of tubing needed, measure the dis-
tance from the ice maker inlet valve
at the back of the refrigerator to the
cold water pipe. Then add approxi-
mately 6ft. (1.8m.), so you can move
the refrigerator 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 ice maker
inlet valve.
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:
• Use Copper or Stainless Steel braided
tubing for the water supply line. Do
not use water supply tubing made of
¼ in. 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 you use a water softening
system, ensure the softener is
maintained and working properly.
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
you use Smart Choice
®
water line kit
5304437642 with a 6ft. (1.8 m.)
Stainless Steel Water Line on homes
with existing valves. Please refer to
Frigidaire.com for more information.

ICE MAKER (SOME MODELS)
IMPORTANT
On occasion, unusually small ice cubes
may be noticed in the bucket. This could
occur in normal operation of the ice
maker. If happening 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
last changing the water filter, replace
it with a new one. Poor quality house-
hold water may require the filter to be
changed more frequently.
Ice maker tips
• If refrigerator is not connected to a
water supply or the water supply is
turned o, turn o 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 a large quantity of ice is needed
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 in Cleaning the ice maker.
• It is normal to have a small quantity
of little pieces along with the
whole cubes.
• It is normal for ice to fill to the top of
the ice bin.
CAUTION
If the water supply to the 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 refreeze together after power is
restored.
Removing Ice Bin
Remove the ice bin by (1) lifting upward and
(2) pulling straight out, then shake to loosen
the cubes or clean as explained above.
CAUTION

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 opti-
mum 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 SET-
TINGS 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 con-
tamination of other foods or surfaces.
Frozen food storage
• Keep the freezer compartment at 0°F
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 air-
tight 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 com-
pletely thawed.
Loading the freezer
• Prior to grocery shopping, we
recommend you activate Freeze
Boost to freeze your food faster It will
remain active for up to 24 hours
• Activating Freeze Boost 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 over-
loads the freezer, slows the rate of
freezing, and can raise the tempera-
ture 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 re-
frigerator operate more eciently.
• Level the refrigerator so that the
doors close tightly.
Temperature settings
Refer to the CONTROLS AND SETTINGS
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 refrig-
erator. 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. Features vary by model.
A Evaporator Refrigerant through
the evaporator may create a
boiling or gurgling sound.
B Evaporator fan Sounds of air
being forced through the
refrigerator by the evaporator
fan 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. The 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 Compressor Modern, high-
eciency compressors run much
faster than older models. The
compressor may have a high-
pitched hum or pulsating sound.
G Water valves Make a buzzing
sound each time they open to fill
the ice maker.
H Drain pan (not removable)
Sounds of water dripping into
the drain pan during the defrost
cycle may be heard.
I Condenser May create minimal
sounds from forced air.
J Motorized damper May produce
a light humming during operation.
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.

Concern Potential Cause Common Solution
Automatic Ice Maker (some models)
Ice maker is
not making
any ice.
• Ice maker is turned o.
• 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.
• Turn on ice maker on the appliance
control display.
• Connect the unit to the household
water supply and ensure the water
valve is open.
• Ensure that the supply line does not
kink when the refrigerator is pushed
into place against the wall.
• Remove and reinstall the water
filter. Be sure to seat it fully into the
locked position.
Ice maker is
not making
enough ice.
• Ice maker is producing
less ice than expected.
• The water supply line is
kinked.
• Water pressure is
extremely low. Cut-o and
cut-on pressures are too
low (well systems only).
• Reverse osmosis system
is in regenerative phase.
• The ice maker will produce approxi-
mately 2 to 2.5 pounds of ice every 24
hours depending on usage conditions.
• Ensure that the supply line does not
kink when the refrigerator is pushed
into place against the wall.
• Have someone turn up the cut-o
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.
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 to see if the water valve is not
turned on all the way or if there is a
kinked water supply line.
