WARNING

Please read all instructions before using this

refrigerator.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Electrical information

 • The refrigerator must be plugged into its

own dedicated 115 Volt, 60 Hz., 15 Amp, AC

only electrical outlet. The power cord of the

appliance is equipped with a three-prong grounding

plug for your protection against electrical shock

hazards. It must be plugged directly into a properly

grounded three prong receptacle. The receptacle

must be installed in accordance with local codes

andordinances.Consultaqualiedelectrician.

Avoid connecting refrigerator to a Ground

WARNING

These guidelines must be followed to ensure that

safety mechanisms in this refrigerator will operate

properly.

IMPORTANT

Pressing and holding the On/Off button for 3 seconds,

located on the left side of the temperature control

panel will disable your refrigerator’s cooling system, but

does not disconnect the power to the light bulb and

other electrical components. To turn off power to your

refrigerator you must unplug the power cord from the

electrical outlet.

CAUTION

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.

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 suffocation.

Proper Disposal of your Refrigerator or

Freezer

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,

please follow the instructions below to help prevent

accidents.

Proper Disposal of Refrigerators/Freezers

We strongly encourage responsible appliance recycling/

disposal methods. Check with your utility company or

visit 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refrigerant

removedbyaqualied

service technician.

Fault Interrupter (GFI) circuit. Do not use an

extension cord or adapter plug.

 • Ifthepowercordisdamaged,itshouldbereplaced

by an authorized service technician to prevent any

risk.

 • Neverunplugtherefrigeratorbypullingonthe

powercord.Alwaysgriptheplugrmly,and

pull straight out from the receptacle to prevent

damaging the power cord.

 • Unplugtherefrigeratorbeforecleaningandbefore

replacing a light bulb to avoid electrical shock.

when installing these handles.

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 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 5305513409 (with a 6 ft.

Stainless Steel Water Line) and for homes without an

existing valve, Frigidaire recommends its Smart Choice

water® line kit 5305510264 (with a 20 ft. Copper Water

Line with self-tapping saddle valve). Please refer to

www.frigidaire.com/store for more information.

CAUTION

To Avoid Property Damage:

• Copper or Stainless Steel braided tubing is

recommended for the water supply line. Water

supply tubing made of ¼ inch plastic is not

recommended to be used. Plastic tubing greatly

increases the potential for water leaks, and the

manufacturer will not be responsible for any

damage if plastic tubing is used 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 connections comply

with all local plumbing codes.

CONNECTING THE WATER SUPPLY

pressure between 30 and 100 psi.

 • Awatersupplylinemadeof¼inch(6mm)OD,

copper or stainless steel tubing. To determine the

length of tubing needed, measure the distance

from the ice maker inlet valve at the back of the

refrigerator to your cold water pipe. Then add

approximately 7 feet (2.1 meters), so the refrigerator

can be moved out for cleaning (as shown).

 • 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ttingorusethreadseal

tape.

 • Acompressionnutandferrule(sleeve)forconnecting

STORING FOOD AND SAVING ENERGY

Ideas for storing foods

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.

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

(2) days should be frozen.

Frozen food storage

 • Keepthefreezercompartmentat0°Forlower.

 • Afreezeroperatesmostefcientlywhenitisat

least

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off-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“quickfreeze”

so that on your return you can ensure your newly

purchased food designated for the freezer will be

preserved as quickly as possible.

 • Activating“quickfreeze”alsowillhelpyourfreezer

moreef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 two (2) appliances will help the refrigerator

operatemoreefciently.

 • Leveltherefrigeratorsothatthedoorsclose

tightly.

Temperature settings

 • Refertothe“Controls”section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.

Understanding the sounds you

may hear

Yournew,high-efciencyrefrigeratormayintroduce

unfamiliar sounds. These sounds normally indicate

your refrigerator is operating correctly. Some surfaces

onoors,walls,andkitchencabinetsmaymakethese

sounds more noticeable.

The 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.

D Automatic ice maker When ice has been

produced, you will hear ice cubes falling into the

ice bin. Ice maker fan, water valve activation, and

refrigerantgasuidmaycreatesoundsfromits

operation.

E Electronic control & automatic defrost

control These parts can produce a snapping or

clicking sound when turning the cooling system on

and off.

F Condenser fan You may hear air being forced

through the condenser.

G CompressorModern,high-efciencycompressors

run much faster than older models. The

compressor may have a high-pitched hum or

pulsating sound.

H Water valve Makes a buzzing sound each time it

openstolltheicemaker.

I Drain pan (not removable) You may hear water

dripping into the drain pan during the defrost cycle.

J Condenser May create minimal sounds from

forced air.

M Motorized damper May produce a light

humming during operation.
