IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
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 unit, please
follow the instructions below to help pre-
vent accidents.
We strongly encourage responsible appli-
ance 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.
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 environment
if released to the atmosphere.
If you are throwing away your old refrig-
erator, make sure the refrigerant is re-
moved 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.
Safety Instructions
• DO NOT store or use gasoline, or
other flammable liquids, or aerosols
within or 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.
WARNING
Do not use electrical appliances inside
the food storage compartments of the
appliance unless they are of the type
recommended by the manufacturer.
Child Safety
This appliance is not intended for use by
persons (including children) with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities,
or lack of experience and knowledge,
unless they have been given supervision
or instruction concerning use of the
appliance by a person responsible for
their safety.
Destroy or recycle the carton, plastic
bags, and any exterior wrapping material
immediately after you unpack the
refrigerator. 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.
5
WARNING
Follow these guidelines to ensure
safety mechanisms in this appliance will
operate properly.
Electrical information
• Plug the unit into its own dedi-
cated 115 Volt, 60 Hz., 15 Amp, AC
only electrical 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 recep-
tacle. You must install the recepta-
cle in accordance with local codes
and ordinances. Consult a qualified
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.
• Performance may be aected if the
voltage varies by 10% or more. Oper-
ating the refrigerator with insucient
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 unit from
being turned o accidentally.
• Unplug the appliance before clean-
ing and before replacing the AC LED
light bulb to avoid electrical shock.
Use only a 5-watt or less AC LED
light bulb.
Grounding type wall receptacle
Power cord with
3-prong grounded plug
Do not, under
any circumstances,
cut, remove,
or bypass the
grounding prong.
IMPORTANT
Turning the Refrigerator controls to OFF

WATER SUPPLY CONNECTION
WARNING
To avoid electric shock, which can cause
death or severe personal injury, dis-
connect the refrigerator from electrical
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 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
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 connec-
tions 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 its Smart Choice
®
water line kit 5304437642 (with a 6
ft. 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 acces-
sories that you may install in most mod-
els at any time. Visit Frigidaire.com for
information about Ice Maker Kit 117000.
18
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.
If you use braided flexible stain-
less 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 ½ turn with a wrench; DO
NOT overtighten. See below.
5. With the steel clamp and screw,
secure the water supply line (copper
tubing only) to the rear panel of
refrigerator as shown.
6. Coil the excess water supply line
(copper tubing only), about 2½
turns, behind the refrigerator as
shown and arrange the coils so they
do not vibrate or wear against any
other surface.
7. To turn the ice maker on, press the
ice maker’s On/O power switch so
the LED is illuminated.

IMPORTANT
The ice maker is shipped in the On posi-
tion. To ensure proper function for your
ice maker, hook up the water supply
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.
ICE PRODUCTION: WHAT
TO EXPECT
The ice maker will produce 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.
NOTE
Automatic ice makers are optional acces-
sories that you may install in most models
at any time. Visit Frigidaire.com for infor-
mation about Ice Maker Kit 117000.
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.
20
CONTROLS AND SETTINGS
NOTE
When first turning the refrigerator on, adjust the control to Recommended. After 24
hours, adjust the controls as needed.
IMPORTANT
Adjusting the refrigerator temperature
control to OFF turns o the compressor
and prevents the refrigerator from cool-
ing, but does not disconnect the power
to the light bulb and other electrical
components. To turn o power to your
refrigerator, you must unplug the power
cord from the wall outlet.
NOTE
If your unit is in a garage or area where
the temperature is below 50° F, adjust
the freezer control to the coldest setting
to improve performance.
Cool Down Period
To ensure safe food storage, allow the refrigerator to operate with the doors closed
for at least 8 hours before loading it with food.
Temperature Adjustment
Adjust the temperature gradually: adjust the knob in small increments, allowing the
temperature to stabilize.
• For colder temperatures, adjust the control toward Coldest.
• For warmer temperatures, adjust the control toward Cold.

STORAGE FEATURES
Shelf Adjustment
The shelves are easy to adjust to suit
individual needs. Before adjusting the
shelves, remove all food.
To adjust shelves, slide the shelf by
moving it forward and lifting it upward.
To replace shelves, insert the rear of
the shelf into any pair of shelf rails and
carefully push the shelf back into position,
making sure the shelf clips (A) go in the
notch in the liner.
Door Bin
Door Storage
Door bins, shelves, and racks conveniently
store jars, bottles, and cans. You can
quickly select frequently used items.
Door Bin
Door bins can accommodate gallon-sized
plastic drink containers and econo-
my-sized jars and containers.
To remove the door bin:
1. Lift up on the bin
2. Pull it straight out.
CAUTION
Do not clean glass shelves or covers
with warm water when they are cold.
Shelves and covers may break if ex-
posed to sudden temperature changes
or impact, such as bumping. Tempered
glass is designed to shatter into many
small, pebble-size pieces. This is nor-
mal. Glass shelves and covers are heavy.
Use both hands when removing them
to avoid dropping.
CAUTION
To avoid personal injury or property
damage, handle tempered glass shelves
carefully. Shelves may break suddenly
if nicked, scratched, or exposed to sud-
den temperature change.

NOTE
Leafy vegetables keep best when stored
with the Humidity Control set on High
Humidity, or in a drawer without a Hu-
midity Control. This keeps incoming air
to a minimum and maintains maximum
moisture content. Store non-leafy vege-
tables and fruits still in their skins at the
low humidity setting.
Crisper Humidity Control
(some models)
The crisper humidity control, present
on the crisper drawers of some models,
allows you to adjust the humidity within
the crisper. This can extend the life of fresh
vegetables that keep best in high humidity.
Deli Drawer (some models)
IMPORTANT
Using the Deli Drawer to store fruits
and vegetables may result in frozen
produce. The Deli Drawer is designed
to stay colder than the Crisper Draw-
ers and should only be used to store
lucheon meets, spreads, cheeses, and
other deli items.
Store vegetables and/or fruit in the
Crisper Drawers.

NORMAL OPERATING SOUNDS
NOTE
Rigid foam insulation is very energy
ecient but is not a sound insulator.
Understanding the sounds you
may hear
Your new, high-eciency 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.
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.

IMPORTANT
During the automatic defrost cycle, you
may notice a red glow in the vents on the
back wall of your freezer compartment.
This is normal during the defrost cycle.
D Automatic ice maker When ice has
been produced, you will hear ice
cubes falling into the ice bin.
E Condenser fan You may hear air
being forced through the condenser.
F Compressor Modern, high-eciency
compressors run much faster than in
the past. The compressor may have a
high-pitched hum or pulsating sound.
G Water valve If your refrigerator is
equipped with an automatic ice
maker, you will hear a buzzing sound
as the water valve opens to fill the
ice maker during each cycle.
H Drain pan (not removable) You may
hear water dripping into the drain
pan during the defrost cycle.
I Condenser The condenser may create
minimal sounds from forced air.
IMPORTANT
