IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Proper Disposal of your Appliance
Risk of child entrapment
Child entrapment and suocation are
not problems of the past. Junked or
abandoned appliances are still dangerous
– even if they will sit for “just a few days”.
If you are getting rid of your old unit,
please follow the instructions below to
help prevent accidents.
We strongly encourage responsible
appliance recycling/disposal methods.
Check with your utility company or visit
energystar.gov/recycle for more informa-
tion on recycling your old appliance.
Before you throw
away your old unit:
Remove doors.
Leave shelves in
place so children
may not easily
climb inside.
Have refrigerant removed by a
qualified service technician.
WARNING
Follow these guidelines to ensure
safety mechanisms in this appliance
will operate properly.
Electrical information
Plug the unit into its own dedicated 115
Volt, 60 Hz., 15 Amp, AC only elec-
trical outlet. The power cord of the
appliance is equipped with a 3-prong
grounding plug for your protection
against electrical shock hazards. Plug
it directly into a properly grounded
3-prong receptacle. You must install
the receptacle in accordance with local
codes and ordinances. Consult a qual-
ified electrician. Avoid connecting the
unit to a Ground Fault Interrupter (GFI)
circuit. Do not use an extension cord
or adapter plug.
If the power cord is damaged, an
authorized service technician should
replace it to prevent any risk.
Never unplug the refrigerator by pull-
ing on the power cord. Always grip the
plug firmly, and pull it straight out from
the receptacle to prevent damaging
the power cord.
Unplug the appliance before cleaning
and before replacing the AC LED light
bulb to avoid electrical shock. Use only
a 5-watt or less AC LED light bulb.
Performance may be aected if the
voltage varies by 10% or more. Oper-
ating the refrigerator with insucient
power can damage the compressor.
Such damage is not covered under
your warranty.
Do not plug the unit into an electri-
cal outlet controlled by a wall switch
or pull cord to prevent the unit from
being turned o accidentally.
Grounding type wall receptacle
Power cord with
3-prong grounded plug
Do not, under
any circumstances,
cut, remove,
or bypass the
grounding prong.
IMPORTANT
CFC/HCFC Disposal
Your old refrigerator 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
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 provi-
sions of environmental legislation.
WARNING
Do not use electrical appliances inside
the food storage compartments of the
appliance unless they are of the type
recommended by the manufacturer.

WATER SUPPLY CONNECTION
WARNING
To avoid electric shock, which can
cause death or severe personal injury,
disconnect the refrigerator from elec-
trical power before connecting a water
supply line to the refrigerator.
CAUTION
To Avoid Property Damage:
Use stainless steel braided tubing
for the water supply line. Do not
use water supply tubing made of
¼" 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
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 your water supply line connections
comply with all local plumbing codes.
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, we
recommend for homes with existing
valves Smart Choice
®
water line kit
5304437642 (with a 6' Stainless Steel
Water Line), and for homes without an
existing valve, we recommend Smart
Choice
®
water line kit 5304493869 (with
a 6’ Polyline Waterline). Please refer to
Frigidaire.com for more information.
Before Installing The Water Supply Line,
You Will Need:
Basic Tools: adjustable wrench,
flat-blade screwdriver, and Phillips
screwdriver
Access to a household cold water
line with water pressure between 30
and 100 psi.
A water supply line made of 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 your
cold water pipe, so the refrigerator
can be moved out for cleaning.
A shuto valve to connect the water
supply line to your household water
system. DO NOT use a self-piercing
type shuto valve.
Do not reuse compression fitting or
use thread seal tape.
Ice Maker Models Only
NOTE
Automatic ice makers are optional ac-
cessories you may install in most models
at any time. Visit Frigidaire.com for infor-
mation about Ice Maker Kit IM1900MD.

To Connect the Water Supply Line To the
Ice Maker Inlet Valve
1. Disconnect the refrigerator from the
electrical 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 the water is clear. Turn OFF
the water supply at the shuto valve.
3. Remove the plastic cap from the wa-
ter valve inlet and discard the cap.
4. If you use copper tubing, slide brass
compression nut, and then the fer-
rule (sleeve) onto the water supply
line. Push the water supply line into
the water valve inlet as far as it will
go (¼" / 6.4 mm). Slide the ferrule
(sleeve) into valve inlet and finger
tighten the compression nut onto
the valve. Tighten another ½ turn
with a wrench; DO NOT overtighten.
See below.

ICE PRODUCTION: WHAT
TO EXPECT
The ice maker produces 2 to 2.5 pounds
of ice every 24 hours depending on usage
conditions. Ice is produced at a rate of 10
cubes every 100 to 160 minutes.
CAUTION
Do Not place the ice container in
your dishwasher.
ICE MAKER
If your refrigerator has an automatic ice
maker, it will produce minimal ice during
the first 24 hours of operation. Air in new
plumbing lines may cause the ice maker to
cycle 2 or 3 times before making a full tray
of ice. With no usage, it will take approxi-
mately 1 to 2 days to fill the ice container.
New plumbing connections may cause
the first production of ice cubes to be
discolored or have an odd flavor. Discard
ice made during the first 24 hours.
Turning your Ice Maker On
After completely connecting the
plumbing, you must open the water
supply valve. Place the ice container
under the ice maker, pushing it as far back
as possible. Press the ice maker’s On/O
button.
Turning your Ice Maker O
To stop the ice maker, press the ice mak-
er’s On/O button. The ice maker regu-
lates the ice production and stops making
ice when full and starts again when ice is
low in the ice container.
IMPORTANT
The ice maker is shipped in the On
position. To ensure proper function for
your ice maker, hook up the water sup-
ply immediately or turn the ice maker
O. If the ice maker is on and the water
supply is not connected, the water
valve will make a loud chattering noise.
NOTE
Automatic ice makers are optional ac-
cessories you may install in most models
at any time. Visit Frigidaire.com for infor-
mation about Ice Maker Kit IM1900MD.
NOTE
Set the freezer to a colder setting to in-
crease the output of the ice maker. Allow
24 hours for the temperature to stabilize.

dow sprays, scouring cleansers, brushes,
flammable fluids, cleaning waxes, concen-
trated detergents, bleaches or cleansers
containing petroleum products on plastic
parts, interior doors, gaskets or cabinet
liners. Do not use paper towels, metallic
scouring pads, or other abrasive cleaning
materials or strong alkaline solutions.
Defrosting
The unit defrosts automatically due to
air cooling. You can remove frost by first
disconnecting the appliance from the
electrical power source, and wipe it with
a dry towel.
CAUTION
Pull the refrigerator straight out to
move it. Shifting it from side to side
may damage flooring. Be careful not to
move the refrigerator beyond the
plumbing connections.
IMPORTANT
If you store or move your refrigerator in
freezing temperatures, be sure to com-
pletely drain the water supply system.
Failure to do so could result in water
leaks when the refrigerator is put back
into service. Contact a service repre-
sentative to perform this operation.
NOTE
If you set your temperature controls
to turn o cooling, power to lights and
other electrical components will con-
tinue until you unplug the power cord
