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, follow the
instructions below to help prevent
accidents.
We strongly encourage responsible
appliance recycling/disposal
methods. Check with your utility
company or visit http://
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 it removed by a qualified service
technician.
4 ENGLISH
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.
1.7 Electrical
information
IMPORTANT
Turning on the appliance controls to
OFF will disable the appliance cooling
system but does not disconnect the
power to the light bulb and other
electrical components. To turn off
power to the appliance you must
unplug the power cord from the

ordinances. Consult a qualified
electrician. Do not use an extension
cord or adapter plug.
WARNING!
Avoid fire hazard or electric shock.
• If the power cord is damaged, it should
be replaced by an authorized service
technician to prevent any risk.
•
Never unplug the appliance 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 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 affected if the
voltage varies by 10% or more.
Operating the appliance 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 appliance from
being turned off accidentally.
• Do not pinch, knot, or bend the power
cord in any manner.

6. WATER SUPPLY CONNECTION
6.1 Before Installing The Water
Supply Line
NOTE
Automatic ice makers are optional
accessories that you may install in
most models at any time. Visit
Frigidaire.com
for information about
Ice Maker Kit 117000
.
WARNING!
To avoid electric shock, which can
cause death or severe personal injury,
disconnect the appliance from the
electrical power before connecting a
water supply line to the appliance.
14 ENGLISH
CAUTION!
To avoid property damage:
• User stainless steel braided tubing
for the water supply line. Do not
use water supply tubing made of
1/4"
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.
6.2 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 distance
from the ice maker inlet valve at the
back of the appliance to your cold
water pipe. Then add approximately 6 ft
(1.8 m) to ensure you can move the
appliance for cleaning.
• 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 reuse compression fitting or use
thread seal tape.
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, Frigidaire recommends:
•
for homes with existing valves its
Smart Choice® water line kit
5304437642 with a 6 ft stainless
steel water line.
• for homes without an existing
valve, we recommend Smart
Choice® water line kit 5304493869
with a 6 ft polyline waterline.
Please refer to Frigidaire.com for
more information.
6.3 Installing the water supply
line
NOTE
These instructions do not cover after
market ice maker installation.

power source.
2. Place end of water supply line into sink
or bucket. Turn on water supply and
flush supply line until water is clear.
Turn off water supply at shutoff valve.
3. Remove plastic cap from water valve
inlet and discard cap.
4. Depending on the tubing you use:
• Copper tubing - Slide brass
compression nut, then ferrule
(sleeve) onto water supply line.
Push water supply line into water
valve inlet as far as it will go (
1/4" /
6.4 mm). Slide ferrule (sleeve) into
valve inlet and finger tighten
compression nut onto valve.

7. ICE MAKER
7.1 Automatic ice maker
NOTE
Automatic ice makers are optional
accessories that you may install in
most models at any time. Visit
Frigidaire.com for information about
ice maker kit 117000
.
If your appliance 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
approximately 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
the ice produced during the first 24 hours.
NOTE
The ice maker is shipped in the ON
position. To ensure proper function for
your ice maker, hook up the water
supply immediately or turn the ice
maker OFF. If the ice maker is on and
the water supply is not connected, the
water valve will make a loud
chattering noise.
16 ENGLISH
7.2 Turning ice maker on
After connecting the plumbing, 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/Off
button.
7.3 Turning ice maker off
To stop the ice maker, press the ice
maker’s On/Off
button. The ice maker
regulates the ice production and stops
making ice when full and starts again
when ice is low in the ice container.
7.4 Ice production
The ice maker produces 2 to 2.5 lbs of ice
every 24 hours depending on usage
conditions. Ice is produced at a rate of 10
cubes every 100
to 160 minutes.
NOTE
Set the freezer to a colder setting to
increase the output of the ice maker.
Allow 24 hours for the temperature to
stabilize.
NOTE
Do not place the ice container in a
dishwasher.
8. CONTROLS AND SETTINGS
8.1 Cool down period

9. STORAGE FEATURES
9.1 Door Storage
Door bins, shelves, and racks conveniently
store jars, bottles, and cans. You can
quickly select frequently used items.
9.2 Door Bin
Door bins can accommodate gallon-sized
plastic drink containers and economy-
sized jars and containers.
To remove the door bin:
1. Lift up the bin.
2. Pull it straight out.
To install the door bin:
1. Push the bin back and down into the
locking tabs.
2. The bin sides will lock into the tabs.
9.3 Shelf adjustment

CAUTION!
When reinstalling the shelf, ensure the
shelf clip is attached to the liner and
holds it in place.
CAUTION!
Do not clean glass shelves or covers
with warm water when they are cold.
Shelves and covers may break if
exposed to sudden temperature
changes or impact, such as bumping.
Tempered glass is designed to shatter
into many small, pebble-size pieces.
This is normal. Glass shelves and
covers are heavy. Use both hands
when removing them to avoid
dropping.
NOTE
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.
9.4 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 drawers
and should only be used to store
lucheon meets, spreads, cheeses,
and other deli items. Store vegetables
and/or fruit in the crisper drawers.
NOTE
Be sure to support the glass when
removing the drawer.
Store deli meats or spreads in the half- or
full-width sliding deli drawer found in the
middle section of your appliance.
Half-width sliding deli drawer
Full-width sliding deli drawer
9.5 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.
20 ENGLISH
IMPORTANT
Store vegetables and/or fruit in the
crisper drawers.
NOTE
Leafy vegetables keep best when
stored with the humidity control set on
high humidity, or in a drawer without a
humidity control. This keeps incoming
air to a minimum and maintains
maximum moisture content. Store
non-leafy vegetables and fruits still in
their skins at the low humidity setting.
9.6 Auto-humidity control (some
models)
Some crispers have an auto-humidity
control at the rear of each crisper under
the humidity control cover.
To remove the auto humidity control for
cleaning:
1. Reach to the back of the humidity
control cover.
2. Pull up on the cover.
3. Pull the cover toward the back of the
cabinet and remove.
4. Clean the humidity control with hot
soapy water.
5. Replace the clean humidity control
cover by reversing the steps above.
Repeat for both crispers.
NOTE
We do not recommend replacing the
auto-humidity membrane unless it
becomes damaged or ruined. If the
membrane becomes soiled, it can be
washed with soap and water. Ensure
the membrane is dry before replacing
it in the cover and back in the
appliance.
10. NORMAL OPERATING SOUNDS
10.1 Understanding the sounds
you may hear
Your new, high-efficiency appliance may
introduce unfamiliar sounds. These
sounds normally indicate your appliance is
operating correctly. Some surfaces on
floors, walls, and kitchen cabinets may
make these sounds more noticeable.
NOTE
Energy efficient foam in your
appliance is not a sound insulator.
Following is a list of major components in
your appliance 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.
E. Condenser fan. You may hear air
being forced through the condenser.
F. Compressor. Modern, high-efficiency
compressors run much faster than
previous models. The compressor may
ENGLISH 21
have a noticeable hum or pulsating
sound during operation.
G. If your appliance 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. May create minimal
sounds from forced air.

12. CARE AND CLEANING
12.1 Protecting your investment
Keeping your appliance clean maintains its
appearance and prevents odor build-up.
Wipe up any spills immediately and clean
the freezer and fresh food compartments
at least twice a year. When cleaning, take
the following precautions:
• Never use chloride or cleaners with
bleach to clean stainless steel.
•
Do not wash any removable parts in a
dishwasher.
• Always unplug the electrical power cord
from the wall outlet before cleaning.
• Do not remove the serial plate.
Removal of your serial plate voids your
warranty.
• Remove adhesive labels by hand. Do
not use razor blades or other sharp
instruments which can scratch the
appliance surface.
Do not use abrasive cleaners such as
window sprays, scouring cleansers,
brushes, flammable fluids, cleaning
waxes, concentrated 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.
Refer to the guide below for more details
on caring and cleaning specific areas of
your appliance.
NOTE
If you set your temperature controls to
turn off cooling, power to lights and
other electrical components will
continue until you unplug the power
cord from the wall outlet.
CAUTION!
Pull the appliance straight out to move
it. Shifting it from side to side may
damage flooring. Be careful not to
move the appliance beyond the
plumbing connections.
IMPORTANT
If you store or move your appliance in
freezing temperatures, be sure to
completely drain the water supply
system. Failure to do so could result in
water leaks when the appliance is put
back into service. Contact a service
representative to perform this
operation.
