7. STORING FOOD AND SAVING ENERGY
7.1 Ideas for storing food
Fresh food storage
• Keep the fresh food compartment
between 34°F and 40°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.
Fruits and vegetables
• Store fruits and vegetables in crisper
drawers, where trapped moisture helps
preserve food quality for longer time
periods.
• Wash items and remove excess water.
• Wrap any items that have 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 deli drawer to store meat/
poultry for short-term storage. Any
meat to be kept longer than two days
should be frozen.
Frozen foods storage
• Keep the freezer compartment at 0°F
or lower.
• A freezer operates most efficiently
when it is at least 2/3 full.
10 ENGLISH
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 off-flavor (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
• 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.
7.2 Ideas for energy saving
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
refrigerator operate more efficiently.
• Level the refrigerator so that the doors
close tightly.
Temperature setting
• 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.
8. WATER SUPPLY CONNECTION
8.1 Before Installing The Water
Supply Line
(some models)
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 IM1900MD.
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.
Connect the appliance to the potable
water supply.
IMPORTANT
Ensure your water supply line
connections comply with all local
plumbing codes.
ENGLISH 11
CAUTION!
To avoid property damage:
• Use 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.
8.2 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.
8.3 Installing the water supply
line
