Child safety
This appliance is not intended for use by
persons (including children) with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack
of experience and knowledge, unless they
have been given supervision or instruction
concerning use of the appliance by a person
responsible for their 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.
Important safety instructions
Do not store or use gasoline or other
flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of
this or any other appliance.
Do not store explosive substances such as
aerosol cans with a flammable propellant in
this appliance.
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.
WARNING!
Do not use electrical appliances inside the
food storage compartments of the appliance
unless they are of the type recommended by
the manufacturer.
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, follow the instructions below to help
prevent accidents.
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 it removed by a qualified service
technician.
IMPORTANT
CFC/HCFC Disposal
Your old refrigerator may have a cooling sys‐
tem that used CFCs or HCFCs (chlorofluoro‐
carbons or hydrochlorofluorocarbons). CFCs
and HCFCs are believed to harm strato‐
spheric ozone if released to the atmosphere.
Other refrigerants may also cause harm to
the environment if released to the atmos‐
phere.
If you are throwing away your old refrigera‐
tor, make sure the refrigerant is removed for
proper disposal by a qualified technician. If
you intentionally release refrigerant, you may
be subject to fines and imprisonment under
provisions of environmental legislation.

Electrical information
IMPORTANT
Turning on the appliance controls to OFF will
disable the appliance cooling system but
does not disconnect the power to the light
bulb and other electrical components. To
turn off power to the appliance you must un‐
plug the power cord from the electrical outlet.
• The appliance 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 qualified electrician.
Avoid connecting the appliance to a Ground
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 appliance by pulling on
the power cord. Always grip the plug firmly,
and pull straight out from the receptacle to
prevent damaging the power cord.
• Unplug the appliance before cleaning and
before replacing the AC LED light bulb to
avoid electrical shock. Use only a 5-watt or
less AC LED light bulb.
• Performance may be affected if the voltage
varies by 10% or more. Operating the
appliance with insufficient power can
damage the compressor. Such damage is
not covered under your warranty.
• Do not plug the unit into an electrical outlet
controlled by a wall switch or pull cord to
prevent the appliance from being turned off
accidentally.
WARNING!
Do not, under any circumstances, cut, re‐
move, or bypass the grounding prong (A). Al‐
ways use the power cord with a three-prong
grounded plug and grounding type wall re‐
ceptacle.

Before Installing The Water Supply
Line
NOTE
Automatic ice makers are optional accesso‐
ries that you may install in most models at
any time. Visit Frigidaire.com for information
about Ice Maker Kit 117000.
WARNING!
To avoid electric shock, which can cause
death or severe personal injury, disconnect
the appliance from the electrical power be‐
fore connecting a water supply line to the ap‐
pliance.
CAUTION!
To avoid property damage:
• User stainless steel braided tubing for the
water supply line. Do not use water sup‐
ply 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 mak‐
er is connected to soft water, ensure that
the softener is maintained and working
properly.
IMPORTANT
Ensure your water supply line connections
comply with all local plumbing codes.
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 associ‐
ated materials prior to installing your new re‐
frigerator. 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 infor‐
mation.
Installing the water supply line
NOTE
These instructions do not cover after market
ice maker installation. Instructions in after
market ice maker kit should be used.
To connect water supply line to ice maker inlet
valve:
1. Disconnect refrigerator from electric power
source.
2. Place end of water supply line into sink or
bucket. Turn on water supply and flush
supply line until water is clear. Turn off
water supply at shutoff valve.
3. Remove plastic cap from water valve inlet
and discard cap.
4. Depending on the tubing you use:
• Copper tubing - Slide brass
compression nut, then ferrule (sleeve)
onto water supply line. Push water
supply line into water valve inlet as far
as it will go (1/4" / 6.4 mm). Slide ferrule
(sleeve) into valve inlet and finger
tighten compression nut onto valve.
Tighten another half turn with a wrench;
do not over tighten.
• Braided flexible stainless steel tubing -
The nut is already assembled on the
tubing. Slide nut onto valve inlet and
finger tighten nut onto valve. Tighten
another half turn with a wrench; do not
over tighten.
5. With steel clamp and screw, secure water
supply line to rear panel of the appliance.

Automatic ice maker
NOTE
Automatic ice makers are optional accesso‐
ries that you may install in most models at
any time. Visit Frigidaire.com for information
about ice maker kit 117000.
If your appliance has an automatic ice maker, it
will produce minimal ice during the first 24
hours of operation. Air in new plumbing lines
may cause the ice maker to cycle 2 or 3 times
before making a full tray of ice. With no usage,
it will take approximately 1 to 2 days to fill the
ice container.
New plumbing connections may cause the first
production of ice cubes to be discolored or
have an odd flavor. Discard the ice produced
during the first 24 hours.
NOTE
The ice maker is shipped in the ON position.
To ensure proper function for your ice maker,
hook up the water supply immediately or turn
the ice maker OFF. If the ice maker is on and
the water supply is not connected, the water
valve will make a loud chattering noise.
Turning ice maker on
After connecting the plumbing, open the water
supply valve. Place the ice container under the
ice maker, pushing it as far back as possible.
Press the ice maker’s On/Off
button.
Turning ice maker off
To stop the ice maker, press the ice maker’s
On/Off button. The ice maker regulates the
ice production and stops making ice when full
and starts again when ice is low in the ice
container.
Ice production
The ice maker produces 2 to 2.5 lbs of ice
every 24 hours depending on usage
conditions. Ice is produced at a rate of 10
cubes every 100 to 160 minutes.
NOTE
Set the freezer to a colder setting to increase
the output of the ice maker. Allow 24 hours
for the temperature to stabilize.
NOTE
Do not place the ice container in a dishwash‐
er.

CAUTION!
When reinstalling the shelf, ensure the shelf
clip is attached to the liner and holds it in
place.
CAUTION!
Do not clean glass shelves or covers with
warm water when they are cold. Shelves and
covers may break if exposed to sudden tem‐
perature changes or impact, such as bump‐
ing. Tempered glass is designed to shatter
into many small, pebble-size pieces. This is
normal. Glass shelves and covers are heavy.
Use both hands when removing them to
avoid dropping.
NOTE
To avoid personal injury or property damage,
handle tempered glass shelves carefully.
Shelves may break suddenly if nicked,
scratched, or exposed to sudden tempera‐
ture change.
Deli Drawer (some models)
IMPORTANT
Using the deli drawer to store fruits and veg‐
etables may result in frozen produce. The
deli drawer is designed to stay colder than
the crisper drawers and should only be used
to store lucheon meets, spreads, cheeses,
and other deli items. Store vegetables and/or
fruit in the crisper drawers.
NOTE
Be sure to support the glass when removing
the drawer.
STORAGE FEATURES
21
Store deli meats or spreads in the half- or full-
width sliding deli drawer found in the middle
section of your appliance.
Half-width sliding deli drawer
Full-width sliding deli drawer
Crisper Humidity Control (some
models)
The crisper humidity control, present on the
crisper drawers of some models, allows you to
adjust the humidity within the crisper. This can
extend the life of fresh vegetables that keep
best in high humidity.
IMPORTANT
Store vegetables and/or fruit in the crisper
drawers.
NOTE
Leafy vegetables keep best when stored with
the humidity control set on high humidity, or
in a drawer without a humidity control. This
keeps incoming air to a minimum and main‐
tains maximum moisture content. Store non-
leafy vegetables and fruits still in their skins
at the low humidity setting.
Auto-humidity control (some
models)
Some crispers have an auto-humidity control at
the rear of each crisper under the humidity
control cover.
To remove the auto humidity control for
cleaning:
1. Reach to the back of the humidity control
cover.
2. Pull up on the cover.
3. Pull the cover toward the back of the
cabinet and remove.
4. Clean the humidity control with hot soapy
water.
5. Replace the clean humidity control cover
by reversing the steps above. Repeat for
both crispers.
NOTE
We do not recommend replacing the auto-
humidity membrane unless it becomes dam‐
aged or ruined. If the membrane becomes
soiled, it can be washed with soap and wa‐
ter. Ensure the membrane is dry before re‐
placing it in the cover and back in the appli‐
ance.

STORAGE FEATURES
Understanding the sounds you
may hear
Your new, high-efficiency appliance may
introduce unfamiliar sounds. These sounds
normally indicate your appliance is operating
correctly. Some surfaces on floors, walls, and
kitchen cabinets may make these sounds more
noticeable.
NOTE
Energy efficient foam in your appliance is not
a sound insulator.
Following is a list of major components in your
appliance 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.
E. Condenser fan. You may hear air being
forced through the condenser.
F. Compressor. Modern, high-efficiency
compressors run much faster than
previous models. The compressor may
have a noticeable hum or pulsating sound
during operation.
G. If your appliance is equipped with an
automatic ice maker, you will hear a
buzzing sound as the water valve opens to
fill the ice maker during each cycle.
H. Drain pan (not removable). You may hear
water dripping into the drain pan during the
defrost cycle.
I. Condenser. May create minimal sounds
from forced air.

not connected to the household water sup‐
ply, you may hear a loud chattering noise.

On/Off power switch (green LED light will
turn off) until you install the water supply line.
NOTE
During automatic defrost cycle, a red glow in
the back wall vents of your freezer compart‐
ment is normal.

Protecting your investment
Keeping your appliance 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. When cleaning, take the following
precautions:
• Never use chloride or cleaners with bleach
to clean stainless steel.
• Do not wash any removable parts in a
dishwasher.
• Always unplug the electrical power cord
from the wall outlet before cleaning.
• Do not remove the serial plate. Removal of
your serial plate voids your warranty.
• Remove adhesive labels by hand. Do not
use razor blades or other sharp instruments
which can scratch the appliance surface.
Do not use abrasive cleaners such as window
sprays, scouring cleansers, brushes,
flammable fluids, cleaning waxes,
concentrated detergents, bleaches or
cleansers containing petroleum products on
plastic parts, interior doors, gaskets or cabinet
liners. Do not use paper towels, metallic
scouring pads, or other abrasive cleaning
materials or strong alkaline solutions.
Refer to the guide below for more details on
caring and cleaning specific areas of your
appliance.
NOTE
If you set your temperature controls to turn
off cooling, power to lights and other electri‐
cal components will continue until you unplug
the power cord from the wall outlet.
CAUTION!
Pull the appliance straight out to move it.
Shifting it from side to side may damage
flooring. Be careful not to move the appli‐
ance beyond the plumbing connections.
IMPORTANT
If you store or move your appliance in freez‐
ing temperatures, be sure to completely
drain the water supply system. Failure to do
so could result in water leaks when the appli‐
ance is put back into service. Contact a serv‐
ice representative to perform this operation.
