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
Before Installing The Water Supply Line, You
Will Need:
• BasicTools:adjustablewrench,at-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
(6.4mm) 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).
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.TurnONwatersupplyandush
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 If 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 (¼ inch/6.4 mm). Slide ferrule
(sleeve)intovalveinletandngertighten
compression nut onto valve. Tighten
another half turn with a wrench; DO NOT
over tighten. See Figure 1.
If you use stainless steel tubing - The
nut and ferrule are already assembled on
the tubing. Slide compression nut onto
valveinletandngertightencompression
nut onto valve. Tighten another half turn
with a wrench; DO NOT over tighten. See

continuous use. To reset this shutoff device,
simply release the dispenser paddle.
CAUTION
For proper dispenser operation, recommended
water supply pressure should fall between 30
psi and 100 psi. Excessive pressure may cause
waterltertomalfunction.
IMPORTANT
Your ice maker is shipped from the factory
with the wire signal arm in the ON position
(side mounted) or with the switch turned
ON (rear mounted). To ensure proper
function of your ice maker, hook up water
supply immediately or turn ice maker OFF
by lifting the wire signal arm until it clicks
and locks in the UP position (side mounted)
or turn the On/Off switch to the Off (0)
position (rear mounted). If the ice maker
is not turned off and the water supply
is not connected, the water valve will
make a loud chattering noise.
Using the Ice Maker after
Installation

Ice Production: What to Expect
How Much Ice Will a Side Mounted Ice
Maker Produce in 24 Hours?
A side mounted ice maker will produce 4 to 4.5
pounds of ice every 24 hours, depending on
usage conditions. Ice is produced at a rate of 8
cubes every 75 to 90 minutes.
How Much Ice Will a Rear Mounted Ice
Maker Produce in 24 Hours?
A rear mounted ice maker will produce 3 to 4
pounds of ice every 24 hours, depending on
usage conditions. Ice is produced at a rate of 8
cubes every 75 to 90 minutes.

Ice Maker/Dispenser Tips
• Ice cubes stored too long may develop
anoddavor.Emptytheicecontaineras
explained below.
• Occasionally shake the ice container to
keep ice separated.
• If your refrigerator is not connected to a
water supply or the water supply is turned
off, turn Off the ice maker.
• Ifyouneedalargequantityoficeatone
time, it is best to get cubes directly from
the ice container.
• The following sounds are normal when the
ice maker is operating:
- Motor running
- Ice dropping into ice container
- Water valve opening or closing
- Ice loosening from tray
- Running water
• When dispensing ice, you will hear a
snapping or clicking sound when the ice
chute opens and closes.
• Turn Off the ice maker when cleaning the
freezer and during vacations.
- If you turn Off the ice maker for a
long period of time, you should also
turn off the water supply valve.

Auger
CAUTION
NEVER use an ice pick or similar sharp
instrument to break up the ice. This could
damage the ice storage bin and dispenser
mechanism.
IMPORTANT
When removing or replacing the ice bin,
DO NOT rotate the auger in the ice bin.
If the auger is accidentally rotated, you
must realign the auger by turning it in 90
degree turns (see below) until the ice bin
tsintoplacewiththedrivemechanism.If
the auger is not properly aligned when
replacing the ice bin, the refrigerator will
only dispense Crushed Ice. The freezer door
may also not close properly causing warm
air to leak into the freezer.
Cleaning the Ice Maker
Clean the ice maker and ice bin at regular
intervals, particularly before you take a
vacation or move.
To clean the ice maker:
1 Turn Off the ice maker.
2 Remove the ice bin by lifting up and out.
3 Empty and carefully clean the ice bin with
mild detergent. Rinse with clear water. Do
not use harsh or abrasive cleaners.
4 Allow the ice bin to dry completely before
replacing in the freezer.
5 Remove ice chips and clean the ice bin
shelf and the freezer door chute.
6 Replace the ice bin. Turn On the ice maker
to resume ice production.
Remove and empty the ice storage bin if:
• An extended power failure (one hour or
longer) causes ice cubes in the ice storage
bin to melt and freeze together, jamming
the dispenser mechanism.
• Youdonotusetheicedispenserfrequently.
Ice cubes will freeze together in the bin,
jamming the dispenser mechanism.
Remove the ice storage bin and shake to
loosen the cubes or clean as explained above.
