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
refrigerators or freezers are still dangerous
– even if they will sit for “just a few days”.
When disposing of an old refrigerator or
freezer, please follow the instructions below
to help prevent accidents.
We strongly encourage responsible
appliance recycling/disposal methods.
Check with the utility company or visit
energystar.gov/recycle for more information
on recycling an old refrigerator.
Before disposing of an old appliance:
• Remove doors.
• Leave shelves in place so children may
not easily climb inside.
• Have refrigerant removed by a
qualifi ed service technician.
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 su ocation.
Safety Instructions
• DO NOT store or use gasoline, or
other fl ammable liquids in the vicinity
of this or any other appliance. Read
product labels for warnings regarding
fl ammability 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 fi nishes 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.

snap ring shim is supplied with the door
alignment kit (in the literature pack). To
assemble it, lift the lower door slightly to
access the door hinge pin and insert the
snap ring as illustrated.
Flipper Mullion
Adjust the fl ipper mullion for proper
connection with the mullion guide by
ensuring the fl ipper mullion is folded and
perpendicular to the fresh food door. If
the mullion guide is not in the correct
position, it could prevent the door from
closing completely.

NOTE
Use care while pulling the water tube
from the door to be sure the tube does
not kink. To prevent damage to the
water line, be sure to install the water
line in a protective spring after reinstall-
ing the doors.
NOTE
You will pull approximately 4 ft of water
tube from the refrigerator door.
DOOR REMOVAL
Getting through narrow spaces
If the refrigerator will not fi t through an
entrance area, you can remove the doors.
Check fi rst by measuring the entrance.
To prepare for removing the doors:
1. Make sure you unplug the electrical
power cord from the wall outlet.
2. Remove any food from the door
shelves and close the doors.
To remove the refrigerator doors:
1. Open the doors to 90°.
2. Remove all 4 Phillips
TM
screws from
top hinge cover and lift up.
5. Unscrew the plastic clamps that hold
the cables and tubes and then gently
pull up on the water line to remove
them from door.
3. Trace lightly around the door’s top
hinges with a pencil. This makes
reinstallation easier.

Be sure to set the doors aside in a
secure position where they cannot fall
and cause personal injury, or damage to
the doors.
11
IMPORTANT
Make sure the water line tubing goes
through the hole at the top of the
dispenser pocket. A metal wrap on the
tubing prevents damage from the hinge
rubbing against it. Fix this back around
the tube in the proper location upon
reinstallation (just as long as the tube is
protected from the hinge).
NOTE
When reinserting the water tube and
replacing the top hinge cover, use care
to be sure the tube does not kink.

WATER SUPPLY CONNECTION
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 local building authority for
recommendations on water lines and
associated materials prior to installing
refrigerator. Depending on local/state
building codes, we recommend Smart
Choice
®
water line kit 5304437642 with
a 6ft. (1.8 meters) braided Stainless
Steel Water Line for homes with exist-
ing valves. Please refer to
Frigidaire.com for more information.
CAUTION
To Avoid Property Damage:
• We recommend using Copper or
Stainless Steel braided tubing for
the water supply line. We do not
reommend using 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
water softener can damage the ice
maker. If a water softening system is
present, maintain the softener and
ensure it is working properly.
IMPORTANT
Ensure the water supply line connections
comply with all local plumbing codes.
To install the water supply line, you will
need the following:
• Basic Tools: adjustable wrench,
fl at-blade 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 ¼"
(6.4mm) OD, copper or braided
stainless steel tubing. To determine
the length of tubing needed, measure
the distance from the inlet water
tube at the back of the refrigerator
to the cold water pipe. Then add
approximately 7ft (2.1m.), so you
can move the refrigerator
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 fi tting or
use thread seal tape.
• A compression nut and ferrule
(sleeve) for connecting a copper
water supply line to the ice maker
inlet valve.
NOTE
Expect the fi rst ice harvest within fi rst
24hours of unit operation. To prevent any
issues concerning ice production, please
ensure that all water lines are primed. See
Priming the water supply system in the
ICE MAKER section.
IMPORTANT
The refrigerator’s water supply system
includes several tubing lines, a water fi l-
ter, and a water valve. To ensure the wa-
ter dispenser works properly, you must
completely fi ll this system with water
when you fi rst connect the refrigerator
to the household water supply line.
NOTE
The water dispenser has a built-in de-
vice that shuts o the water fl ow after
2 minutes of continuous use. To reset
this shuto device, simply release the
dispenser paddle.
14
WATER SUPPLY CONNECTION
To Connect the Water Tube to
Household Water Supply
1. Disconnect the
refrigerator
from the
electrical
power source.
2. Place the end
of the water
supply line
into a sink
or bucket.
Turn ON the
water supply
and fl ush the
supply line until
the water is
clear. Turn OFF the water supply at
the shuto valve.
3. Open the locking
clips and grab
the water line
coming from
the refrigerator.
Remove the
plastic cap
from the water
inlet fi tting and
discard the cap.
6. Replace the connected tubes into
the clips and lock the clips back
in place to keep the tubing in the
right position.
7. Turn ON the water supply at the
shuto valve and tighten any
connections that leak.
8. Reconnect the refrigerator to an
electrical power source.
9. Turn on the ice maker.
10. Purge air from the ice and water
dispenser system by operating
the water dispenser for 3-4 minutes.
This requires dispensing several
glasses of water.
4. If you use (recommended) stainless
steel braided tubing - the nut and
ferrule are already assembled on
the tubing. Slide the compression
nut onto the water inlet fi tting and
fi nger tighten.
5. Using two ½" wrenches (one to hold
the household water line nut and the
other to hold the water inlet fi tting
nut), tighten a half turn with wrench.
DO NOT overtighten.

24hours. The ice maker fi lls the ice bin
from the rear. Dispense some ice to force
the ice forward in the bin. This allows the
bin to fi ll completely.
Ice Maker and Storage Bin Capacity
The ice maker should produce 3.2 to 3.7
lbs of ice per 24 hours, depending on the
usage conditions. The fresh food ice bin
holds about 4 lbs of ice.
Turning the Fresh Food Ice
Maker On and O
NOTE
After the initial 26 ounces (750 ml), the
water remains room temperature until
the tank refi lls and has enough time
to chill the next 26 ounces (750 ml) of
water. It may take up to 8 hours to chill.
Using the Ice Maker
After Installation
Before making ice for the fi rst time, be
sure to prime the water supply system. Air
in new plumbing lines can result in 2 or 3
empty ice maker cycles. Furthermore, if you
do not fl ush the system, the fi rst ice cubes
may be discolored or have an odd fl avor.
Priming the Water Supply System
Dispenser
1. Begin fi lling the system by pressing
and holding a drinking glass against
the dispenser.
2. Keep the glass in this position until
water comes out of the dispenser. It
may take about 1 ½ minutes.
3. Continue dispensing water for
3-4 minutes (or after you have
dispensed 1½ gallons) to fl ush the
system and plumbing connection of
any impurities, stopping to empty
the glass as necessary.
IMPORTANT
The ice maker is turned on at the factory
so it can work as soon as you install
the refrigerator. If you cannot connect
a water supply, set the ice maker’s On/
O feature to O ; otherwise, the ice
maker’s fi ll valve may make a loud chat-
tering noise when it attempts to operate
without water.
Ice production is controlled by the ice
maker’s On/O feature on the appliance
control display. Pressing the On/O
feature turns the ice maker on and o .

ICE MAKER
IMPORTANT
Occasionally, you may notice unusu-
ally small ice cubes in the bucket or in
dispensed ice. This could occur in nor-
mal operation of the ice maker. If this
happens frequently, it may indicate low
water pressure or the water fi lter needs
to be replaced. As the water fi lter 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 6 months
or longer or you have dispensed more
than 200 gallons (757 liters) since last
changing the water fi lter, replace it with
a new one. You may have to change the
fi lter more frequently if you have poor
quality household water.
CAUTION
Properly maintain the water supply
to the refrigerator if it is softened.
Chemicals from a water softener can
damage the ice maker.
Ice maker/dispenser 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 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 fl avor. 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
the container before adding liquids.
• It is normal for ice to fi ll to the top of
the ice bin.
Cleaning the Ice Bin
Regularly clean the ice maker and ice bin,
especially prior to vacation or moving.
1. Turn o the ice maker.
2. Remove the ice bin by lifting it
upward and pulling it straight out.
3. Empty and carefully clean the ice
bin with mild detergent. Do not use
harsh or abrasive cleaners. Do not
place it in the dishwasher. Rinse with
clear water.
4. Allow the ice bin to dry completely
before replacing it into the
compartment.
5. Replace the ice bin. Turn the ice
maker on.
IMPORTANT
Turning o the ice maker simply dis-
ables ice making. You can still dispense
existing ice and water.
NOTE
The ice maker also has a built-in plastic
signal arm that automatically stops ice
production when the ice bin is full. Do
not use this signal arm to manually stop
the ice maker.
NOTE
We recommend you turn the ice maker
o if you will not use the refrigerator
for an extended period of time.
22
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 you accidentally rotate the auger,
realign the auger by turning it in 45°
turns (see below) until the ice bin fi ts
into place with the drive mechanism.
If you do not properly align the auger
when replacing the ice bin, the refrig-
erator will not dispense ice. The fresh
food door also may not close properly
causing warm air to leak into the fresh
food compartment.
Remove and empty the ice bin if:
• An extended power failure (1 hour
or longer) causes ice cubes in the
ice bin to melt and refreeze together
after power is restored, jamming the
dispenser mechanism.
• You use the ice dispenser. Ice cubes
will freeze together in the bin,
jamming the dispenser mechanism.
Removing Ice Bin
(1) Lift
Upward
(2) Pull Bin
Straight Out
Remove the ice bin by (1) lifting upward
and (2) pulling straight out. Then

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 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 AND SETTINGS.)
Fruits and vegetables
• Store fruits and vegetables in crispers,
where trapped moisture helps preserve
food quality for longer time periods.
• Do not wash items until you are ready to
use them. Remove excess water before
placing them inside the unit.
• Wrap any items with 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 Custom-Flex Temp Zone to store
meat/poultry for short-term storage.
Freeze any meat to be kept longer than
2 days.
Frozen food storage
• Keep the freezer compartment at 0°F
or lower.
• A freezer operates most e ciently 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 o
fl avor (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 newly purchased
food designated for the freezer will be
preserved as quickly as possible.
• Activating Freeze Boost also will help
the freezer more e ciently 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
2 appliances will help the refrigerator
operate more e ciently.
• Level the refrigerator so the doors
close tightly.
Temperature settings
• Refer to 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 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.

E Electronic control & automatic
defrost control These parts can
produce a snapping or clicking sound
when turning the cooling system on
and o .
F Condenser fan Sounds of air being
forced through the condenser may
be heard.
G Compressor Modern, high-e ciency
compressors run much faster than
previous models. The compressor
may have a noticeable hum or
pulsating sound during operation.
H Water valves Make a buzzing
sound each time they open to fi ll
the ice maker.
I Drain pan (not removable) Sounds
of water dripping into the drain pan
during the defrost cycle may be heard.
J Condenser May create minimal
sounds from forced air.
G
L
K Motorized damper May produce a
light humming during operation.
L Ice dispenser When dispensing ice, a
snapping, clicking, or popping sound
may be heard.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Concern Potential Cause Common Solution
Automatic Ice Maker
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 fi lter is not
seated properly.
• The water fi lter may be
clogged with foreign
material.
• Refer to Ice Maker and Controls and
Settings.
Fresh Food Ice Maker: Press and
hold the ice maker button on the
appliance control for 3 seconds
to turn the ice maker on. The LED
indicator illuminates to indicate the
ice maker is on.
Freezer Ice Maker: Press or slide the

• 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 re-install the water
fi lter. Be sure to seat it fully into the
locked position.
• If water dispenses slowly or not at
all, or if the fi lter is six months old or
older, it should be replaced.
Ice maker is
not making
enough ice.
• Ice maker is producing
less ice than expected.
• The water fi lter may be
clogged with foreign
material.
• 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 fresh food ice maker will
produce approximately 3.2 to
3.7 pounds of ice every 24 hours
depending on usage conditions. The
freezer ice maker will produce 2 to
2.5 pounds of ice every 24 hours
depending on usage conditions.
• If water dispenses slower than
normal, or if the fi lter 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.
• Have someone turn up the cut-o
and cut-on pressure on the water
pump system (well systems only).

TROUBLESHOOTING
Concern Potential Cause Common Solution
Automatic Ice Maker (continued)
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 fi lter or restricted
water supply. Replace the water
fi lter 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.
Dispenser (Ice & Water)
Dispenser
will not
dispense
ice.
• There is no ice in the bin
to be dispensed.
• The refrigerator doors
are not completely
closed.
• Dispenser paddle has
been pressed too long
and the dispenser motor
has overheated.
• See the Ice maker is not making
any ice.
• Be sure the refrigerator doors are
completely closed.
• The motor overload protector will
reset in about three minutes and
then ice can be dispensed.
Ice
dispenser is
jammed.
• Ice has melted and
frozen around auger
due to infrequent
use, temperature
fl uctuations, and/or
power outages.
• Ice cubes are jammed
between ice maker and
back of ice container.
• Remove ice container, thaw,
and empty the contents. Clean
container, wipe dry, and replace in
proper position. When new ice is
made, dispenser should operate.
• Remove ice cubes that are jamming
the dispenser.
Dispenser
will not
dispense
water.
• Water fi lter not seated
properly.
• Water fi lter is clogged.
• Household water line
valve is not open.
• Remove and reinstall the water fi lter.
For PureSource Ultra II, be sure to
rotate it to the right until it stops
and the grip end is vertical.
• Replace fi lter cartridge. Be sure to
rotate it to the right until it stops
and the grip end is vertical.
• Open household water line valve.

Concern Potential Cause Common Solution
Dispenser (Ice & Water) (continued)
Water
not cold
enough.
• As warmer tap water
goes through the
fi lter and enters the
water supply system,
the chilled water is
pushed through to the
dispenser. Once the
chilled water is used up,
it will take several hours
to bring the freshly
replaced water to a
cooler temperature.
• Add ice to cup or container before
dispensing water.
Note: Only fi rst 26 ounces are chilled.
Water has
an odd
taste and/or
odor.
