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 me 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 receptade. The
receptacle must be installed in accordance with
local codes and ordinances. Consult a qualified
electrician. Avoid connecting refrigerator 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 refrigerator 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 refrigerator before cleaning
and before replacing a light bulb to avoid
electrical shock.
Performance may be affected if the voltage
varies by 10% or more. Operating the
refrigerator 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 refrigerator from being turned
off accidentally.

CFC/HCFC

Disposal

Your old refrigerator 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 you are throwing away your old
refrigerator, 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.

the refrigerator, remember to turn the ice
maker off.

Do Not install the refrigerator

where the

temperature will drop below 55°F (13°C) or
rise above 110°F (43°C). The compressor
will not be able to maintain proper
temperatures inside the refrigerator.
Do Not block the toe grille on the lower front
of your refrigerator. Sufficient air circulation
is essential for the proper operation of your
refrigerator.

Install left toe grille cover onto slot on
left side of toe grille.

To Avoid Property

Damage:

* Copper or Stainless Steel braided tubing
is recommended for the water supply
line. Water supply tubing made of 1/4
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.

Ensure that your water supply line
connections comply with all local plumbing

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

* Access to a household cold water line with
water pressure between 30 and 100 psi.
* A water supply line made of 1/4 inch (6.4
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 re-use compression fitting or use

If your refrigerator has an automatic ice maker,
minimal ice will be produced during the first 24
hours of operation. Air in new plumbing lines
may cause the ice maker to cycle two or three
times before making a full tray of ice. With no
usage, it will take approximately one to two
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 ice made during
the first 24 hours.

Your ice maker is shipped from the factory
with the wire signal arm in the ON position.
To ensure proper function for 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. If the
ice maker is on and the water supply is not
connected, the water valve will make a loud
chattering noise.

ICE PRODUCTION:
TO EXPECT
Automatic ice makers are also optional
accessories that may be installed in most
models at any time. Call your local dealer for
information.

Turning

The ice maker will produce 2.5 to 3 pounds
of ice every 24 hours depending on usage
conditions. Ice is produced at a rate of 8 cubes
every 80 to 160 minutes.

After the plumbing connections have been
completed, the water supply valve must be
opened. Place the ice container under the
ice maker, pushing it as far back as possible.

If the Fresh Food door is left open form more than 5 minutes, an alarm will sound. The alarm
will sound for 2 minutes and then stop. If the "Door Ajar" condition remains, the alarm will
repeat every 30 minutes for two intervals.
After 15 minutes of a "Door Ajar" Condition, the unit will turn the Fresh Food light off until the
door is closed. The door switch in the Fresh Food can be pressed and released to reset the
alarm and light.

Protecting

your investment

Keeping your refrigerator clean maintains
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.
• 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.
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.

If you set your temperature controls to
turn off cooling, power to lights and other
electrical components will continue until you

Pull the refrigerator straight out to move
it. Shifting it from side to side may
damage flooring. Be careful not to move
the refrigerator beyond the plumbing
connections.
;= Damp objects stick to cold metal surfaces.
Do not touch refrigerated surfaces with wet
Or damp hands.

If you store or move your refrigerator in
freezing temperatures, be sure to completely
