CFC/HCFC Disposal
Some old refrigerators 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 disposing of an old refrigerator,
make sure the refrigerant is removed
for proper disposal by a qualified
technician. Intentionally released
refrigerant may subject one to fines
and imprisonment under provisions of
environmental legislation.

Connecting Water Supply
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.
IMPORTANT
Ensure that your water supply line
connections comply with all local
plumbing codes.
CAUTION
To Avoid Property Damage:
• 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.
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,
Electrolux recommends for homes
with existing valves its Smart Choice®
water line kit 5305513409 with a 6
ft. (1.8 meters) Stainless Steel Water
Line and for homes without an existing
valve, Electrolux recommends its Smart
Choice® water line kit 5305510264 with
a 20 ft. (6 meters) Copper Water Line
with self-tapping saddle valve). Please
refer to www.electroluxappliances.com
for more information.
Before installing the water supply line,
you will need:
1. Basic Tools: adjustable wrench,
flat-blade screwdriver, and Phillips
TM
screwdriver
2. Access to a household cold water
line with water pressure between 30
and 100 psi.
3. 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 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.

Automatic Ice and Water Dispenser
Priming the water supply system
Ice maker operation & care
After the refrigerator is installed properly
and has cooled for several hours, the ice
maker can start producing ice within 24
hours. The ice maker will fill the ice bin
from the rear. You must dispense some ice
to force the ice forward in the bin. Full bin
should be expected after 48 to 60 hours
with no ice usage. Ice rate is 2.0 to 2.5
pounds per day. The ice bin will hold about
4 pounds of ice.
Turning the fresh food ice maker
on and off
Turn the icemaker On and Off with the ice
maker’s On/Off icon on the control panel.

1 Begin filling the filter by pressing and
holding a drinking glass against the
water dispenser paddle.
2 Keep the glass in this position until
water comes out of the dispenser. It
may take about 1½ minutes.
3 Continue dispensing water for about
three minutes to flush the system
and plumbing connections of any
impurities (stopping to empty the
glass as necessary).
IMPORTANT
Your ice maker is turned on at the
factory so it can work as soon as you
install your refrigerator. If you cannot
connect a water supply, set the ice
maker’s On/Off icon to Off and turn off
the water supply valve; otherwise, the
ice maker’s fill valve may make a loud
chattering noise when it attempts to
operate without water.
Fresh Food Ice Maker
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.
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.
20
IMPORTANT
Turning off the ice maker stops ice
production only.
NOTE
The ice maker has a built-in signal arm

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.
IMPORTANT
On occasion, unusually small ice cubes
may be noticed in the bucket or in
dispensed ice. This could occur in
normal operation of the ice maker. If
you start seeing these more 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 during each
cycle. Remember, if it’s been six months
or longer since you last changed your
water filter, replace the water filter with a
new one. Poor quality household water
may require the filter to be changed
more frequently.
Ice maker/dispenser tips
• If your refrigerator is not connected to
a water supply or the water supply is
turned off, turn off the ice maker by
holding the On/Off soft-touch icon for
three seconds.
• The following sounds are normal when
the ice maker is operating:
- Motor running
- Ice dropping into ice bin
CAUTION
If the water supply to your refrigerator
is softened, be sure the softener is
properly maintained. Chemicals from
a water softener can damage the ice
maker.

Ice maker operation & care
After the refrigerator is installed properly,
the ice maker can produce ice within
24hours. When using the ice maker
for the first time, and in order for it to
work properly, it is necessary to clear
air from the water tubing and the filter.
Furthermore, if the system is not flushed,
the first ice cubes may be discolored or
have an odd flavor. Once the ice maker
begins making ice, allow the bin to fill
completely, then discard the first FULL bin
of ice.
Ice Maker and Storage Bin
Capacity
This ice maker should produce between
2 and 2.5 pounds of ice per 24 hours
depending on usage conditions. The ice
bin will hold about 4.5 pounds of ice.
Turning the ice maker on and off
Press power button to turn Ice Maker On
(button should be illuminated).
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 freeze together,
jamming the dispenser mechanism.
• You do not use the ice dispenser
frequently. Ice cubes will freeze
together in the bin, jamming the
dispenser mechanism.
Remove the ice bin and shake to loosen
the cubes or clean as explained above.
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.
22
IMPORTANT
When removing or replacing the ice bin,
ensure that the ice bin is fully seated
before closing the freezer door. If the
ice bin is not positioned correctly the
refrigerator will not dispense ice. The
freezer door also may not close properly
causing warm air to leak into the freezer
compartment.
Cleaning the ice maker
Clean the ice maker and ice bin at regular
intervals, especially prior to vacation or
moving.
1 Turn off the ice maker.
2 Remove the ice bin.
3 Empty and carefully clean the ice bin
with mild detergent. Do not use harsh
or abrasive cleaners. Rinse with clean
water.
4 Allow the ice bin to dry completely
before replacing in the freezer.
5 Replace the ice bin. Turn the ice
maker on.
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.
Remove the ice bin and shake to loosen
the cubes or clean as explained above.

Ideas for storing foods
Fresh food storage
• Keep the fresh food compartment
between 37°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.
(See Controls Section for illustration.)
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 TempAdapt drawer and set
to meat/poultry setting 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
or lower.
• A freezer operates most efficiently
when it is at least 2/3 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-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 that on your
return you can ensure your newly
purchased food designated for the
Storing Food and Saving Energy
freezer will be preserved as quickly as
possible.
• Activating FREEZE BOOST also will
help your freezer more efficiently
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 efficiently.
• 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
using more energy and freezing food.
• 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 you may hear
Your new, high-efficiency refrigerator
may introduce unfamiliar sounds. These
sounds normally indicate your 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 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 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 off.
F Condenser fan You may hear air
being forced through the condenser.
G Compressor Modern, high-efficiency
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 fill 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.
K Motorized TempAdapt drawer
damper May produce a light
humming during operation.
L Ice dispensing paddle When
dispensing ice, you will hear a
snapping, clicking, or popping sound.
M Freezer 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 fluid may create
sounds from its operation.
NOTE
Energy efficient foam in your refrigerator
is not a sound insulator.
NOTE
During automatic defrost cycle, a red
glow in the back wall vents of your

of cubes that may prevent the
signal arm from lowering down
to check the ice level in the bin.
Additionally, be sure the bin is in its
properly installed position.
35
Troubleshooting
Concern Potential Cause Common Solution
Automatic Ice Maker (Cont’d)
Ice maker is
not making
enough ice.
• Ice maker is producing
less ice than you expect.
• The water filter may be
clogged with foreign
material.
• The water supply line is
kinked.
• Saddle valve on cold
water pipe is clogged
or restricted by foreign
material.
• Heavy traffic, opening
or closing of the doors
excessively.
• Freezer control is set too
warm (freezer ice maker).
• Water pressure is
extremely low. Cut-off and
cut-on pressures are too
low (well systems only).
• Reverse osmosis system
is in regenerative phase.
• The ice maker will produce
approximately 2.0 to 2.5 pounds of
ice every 24 hours depending on
usage conditions.
• If water dispenses slower than
normal, or if the filter 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.
• Turn off household water line
valve. Remove valve. Ensure that
valve is not a self-piercing saddle
valve. Clean valve. Replace valve if
necessary.
• Press FREEZE BOOST to
temporarily increase ice production
rate. (Freezer ice maker only.)
• Set freezer control to colder
setting to improve performance of
the ice maker (freezer ice maker).
Allow 24 hours for temperature to
stabilize.
• Have someone turn up the cut-off
and cut-on pressure on the water
pump system (well systems only).
• It is normal for a reverse osmosis
system to be below 20 psi during
the regenerative phase.
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
