IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Safety Instructions
DO NOT store or use gasoline, or
other flammable liquids in the vicinity
of this or any other appliance. Read
product labels for warnings regard-
ing 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.
IMPORTANT
CFC/HCFC Disposal
Some old refrigerators may have a cool-
ing system that used CFCs or HCFCs
(chlorofluorocarbons or hydrochloro-
fluorocarbons). CFCs and HCFCs are
believed to harm stratospheric ozone if
released to the atmosphere. Other re-
frigerants may also cause harm to the en-
vironment if released to the atmosphere.
If disposing of an old refrigerator, make
sure the refrigerant is removed for proper
disposal by a qualified technician. Inten-
tionally released refrigerant may subject
one to fines and imprisonment under
provisions of environmental legislation.
Before disposing of an old refrigerator/
freezer:
Remove doors.
Leave shelves in place so children
may not easily climb inside.
Have refrigerant removed by a
qualified service technician.
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
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.
Proper Disposal of Refrigerator
or Freezer
Risk of child entrapment
Child entrapment and suocation are not
problems of the past. Junked or aban-
doned 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 in-
structions below to help prevent accidents.
Proper Disposal of Refrigerators/Freezers
We strongly encourage responsible appli-
ance recycling/disposal methods. Check
with the utility company or visit energy-
star.gov/recycle for more information on
recycling an old refrigerator.

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
water softener can damage the ice
maker. If a water softening system
is present, ensure the softener is
maintained and working properly.
15
WATER SUPPLY CONNECTION
IMPORTANT
Ensure that the water supply line con-
nections comply with all local plumbing
codes.
To install the water supply line, the
following are needed:
Basic Tools: adjustable wrench,
flat-blade screwdriver, and Phillips
TM
screwdriver
Access to a household cold water
line with water pressure between 30
and 100psi.
A water supply line made of ¼inch
(6.4mm) OD, copper or braided
stainless steel tubing. To determine
the length of tubing needed,
measure the distance from the main
water inlet valve at the back of the
refrigerator to the cold water pipe.
Then add approximately 6ft. (1.8m),
so the refrigerator can be moved out
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 fitting or
use thread seal tape.
A compression nut and ferrule
(sleeve) for connecting a copper
water supply line to the main water
inlet valve.
IMPORTANT
The refrigerator’s water supply system
includes several tubing lines, a water filter,
and a water valve. To ensure that the
water dispenser works properly, this sys-
tem must be completely filled with water
when the refrigerator is first connected to
the household water supply line.
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, Frigidaire recommends

CAUTION
For proper dispenser operation,
recommended water supply pressure
should fall between 30psi and 100psi.
Excessive pressure may cause the
system to malfunction.
IMPORTANT
The ice maker is turned on at the
factory so it can work as soon as the
refrigerator is installed. If it is not pos-
sible to connect a water supply, set the
ice maker’s On/O feature to O either
by using the display or by pressing
the switch (features vary by model).
Otherwise, the ice maker’s fill valve may
make a loud chattering noise when it
attempts to operate without water.
22
AUTOMATIC ICE AND WATER DISPENSER
NOTE
The water dispenser has a built-in de-
vice that shuts o the water flow after
two minutes of continuous use. To reset
this shuto device, simply release the
dispenser paddle.
Ice Maker Operation & Care
After the refrigerator is installed properly
and has cooled for several hours, the ice
maker can produce ice within 24hours.
The ice maker will fill the ice bin from the
rear. Dispense some ice to force the ice
forward in the bin. This will allow the bin
to fill completely.
Ice Maker and Storage
Bin Capacity
This ice maker should produce 3.2 to 3.7
pounds of ice per 24 hours. The ice bin
will hold about 4 pounds of ice.
NOTE
After the initial 26 ounces (750 ml),
water will remain room temperature
until the tank has refilled and been
given enough time to chill the next 26
ounces (750 ml) of water. May take up
to 8 hours to chill.
Using the ice maker after
installation
Before making ice for the first time, be
sure to prime the water supply system.
Air in new plumbing lines can result in
two or three empty ice maker cycles.
Furthermore, if the system is not flushed,
the first ice cubes may be discolored or
have an odd flavor.
Priming the water supply system
Dispenser
1. Begin filling 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
1
/
2
minutes.
3. Continue dispensing water for about
four minutes to flush the system
and plumbing connections of any
impurities (stopping to empty the
glass as necessary).
Turning the ice maker on and o
Press and hold Ice Maker on the external
appliance control display for 3 seconds to
turn ice production on and o.
background
CAUTION
If the water supply to the refrigerator is
softened, be sure the softener is properly
maintained. Chemicals from a water
softener can damage the ice maker.
IMPORTANT
Turning o the ice maker simply dis-
ables ice making. Existing ice can still be
dispensed, and water can be dispensed.
IMPORTANT
On occasion, unusually small ice cubes
may be noticed in the bucket or in dis-
pensed ice. This could occur in normal
operation of the ice maker. If happening
frequently, it may be an indication of
low water pressure or the water filter
needs to be replaced. As the water
filter nears the end of its useful life and
becomes clogged with particles, less
water is delivered to the ice maker dur-
ing each cycle. Remember, if it’s been
six months or longer since last chang-
ing the water filter, replace it with a
new one. Poor quality household water
may require the filter to be changed
more frequently.
23
NOTE
The ice maker also has a built-in plastic
signal arm that automatically stops ice
production when the ice bin is full. This
signal arm should not be used to manu-
ally stop the ice maker.
AUTOMATIC ICE AND WATER DISPENSER
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 a large quantity of ice is needed
at one time, it is best to get cubes
directly from the ice bin.
Ice cubes stored too long may
develop an odd flavor. 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 fill to the top of
the ice bin.
Cleaning the ice maker
Clean the ice maker and ice bin at regular
intervals, especially prior to vacation or
moving.
1. Turn o the ice maker using the
button on the display.
2. Remove the ice bin by lifting upward
and pulling straight out.
3. Empty and carefully clean the ice
bin with mild detergent. Do not use
harsh or abrasive cleaners. Do not
place in dishwasher. Rinse with clear
water.
4. Allow the ice bin to dry completely
before replacing in the freezer.
5. Replace the ice bin. Turn the ice
maker on.
background
CAUTION
NEVER use an ice pick or similar sharp
instrument to break up the ice. This
could damage the ice bin.
To loosen stuck ice, use warm water.
Before replacing the ice bin, make sure
it is completely dry.
24
AUTOMATIC ICE AND WATER DISPENSER
Remove and empty the ice bin if:
An extended power failure (one hour
or longer) causes ice cubes in the
ice bin to melt and refreeze together
after power is restored, jamming the
dispenser mechanism.
The ice dispenser is used
infrequently. Ice cubes will freeze
together in the bin, jamming the
dispenser mechanism. Shake the
bin to loosen the cubes, or clean as
explained above.

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 for
illustration.)
Fruits and vegetables
Store fruits and vegetables in crisper
drawers, where trapped moisture
helps preserve food quality for longer
time periods.
Do not wash items until ready to use.
Remove excess water before placing
inside unit.
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 Custom-Flex
TM
Temp Drawer
to store meat/poultry for short-term
storage. Any meat to be kept longer
than two days should be frozen.
Frozen food storage
Keep the freezer compartment at 0°F
(-18°C) or lower.
A freezer operates most e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 o-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
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 two appliances will help the
refrigerator operate more eciently.
Level the refrigerator so that the
doors close tightly.
Temperature settings
Refer to CONTROLS AND
SETTINGS for illustration and
recommended 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.

NORMAL OPERATING SOUNDS
Understanding the sounds
coming from the refrigerator
High-eciency refrigerators may
introduce unfamiliar sounds. These
sounds normally indicate the refrigerator
is operating correctly. Some surfaces on
floors, walls, and kitchen cabinets may
make these sounds more noticeable.
The following is a list of major
components in the refrigerator and the
sounds they can cause:
A Evaporators Refrigerant through the
evaporators may create a boiling or
gurgling sound.
B Evaporator fans Sounds of air being
forced through the refrigerator by the
evaporator fans may be heard.
C Defrost heaters During defrost cycles,
water dripping onto the defrost
heaters may cause a hissing or sizzling
sound. After defrosting, a popping
sound may occur.
D Automatic ice maker When ice has
been produced, sounds of ice cubes
falling into the ice bin may be heard.
Ice maker fan, water valve activation,
and refrigerant gas fluid 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 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
older models. The compressor may
have a high-pitched hum or pulsating
sound.
H Water valves Make a buzzing sound
each time they open to fill 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.
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.
NOTE
Energy ecient foam in the refrigerator
is not a sound insulator.
NOTE
During automatic defrost cycle, a red
glow in the back wall vents of the freez-
er compartment is normal.

CARE AND CLEANING
Care & Cleaning Tips
Keeping the refrigerator 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.
Always unplug the electrical power cord from the wall outlet before cleaning.
Remove adhesive labels by hand. Do not use razor blades or other sharp
instruments which can scratch the appliance surface.
Do not remove the serial plate. Removal of the serial plate voids the warranty.
Before moving refrigerator, raise the anti-tip brackets so the rollers will work
correctly. This will prevent the floor from being damaged.
Refer to the guide on the next page for details on caring and cleaning specific areas of refrigerator.
Never use metallic scouring pads, brushes, abrasive cleaners, or strong alkaline
solutions on any surface.
Never use CHLORIDE or cleaners with bleach to clean stainless steel.

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 sup-
ply. 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 filter or restricted water supply.
Replace the water filter and if the con-
dition 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.
