If the refrigerator door is lower than the
freezer door, raise the refrigerator door by
turning the adjustment screw clockwise
using a 7/i6 inch wrench. (See illustration.)

Your refrigerator should be positioned to
allow easy access to a counter or table when
removing food. For best use of drawers and
freezer baskets, the refrigerator should be
in a position where both the refrigerator and
freezer doors can be fully opened.

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.

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 1/4 inch
(6.4 ram) 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).

Do not re-use compression

fitting or use

A compression nut and ferrule (sleeve) for
connecting a copper water supply line to the
ice maker inlet valve.

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

dispenser at all times. This system needs to
be completely filled with water when first
connected to an external supply line.

For proper dispenser operation,
recommended water supply pressure
should fall between 30 psi and 100 psi.
Excessive pressure may cause water filter to
malfunction.
ii

To prime the water supply system:
1

Begin filling the system by pressing and
holding a drinking glass against the water
dispenser paddle.
Keep the glass in this position until water
comes out of the dispenser. It may take
about :!.l/z minutes.
Continue dispensing water for about four
minutes to flush the system and plumbing
connections of any impurities (stopping to
empty the glass as necessary).

The water dispenser has a built-in device
that shuts off the water flow after three
minutes of continuous use. To reset this
shutoff device, simply release the dispenser
paddle.

Ice Maker Operation

& Care

The ice maker, ice bin, and dispenser feeding
mechanism are located in the top of the freezer
compartment. After the refrigerator is installed
properly and has cooled for several hours, the
ice maker can produce ice within 24 hours. ]:t
can completely fill an ice bin in about two days.
Ice Production:

What to Expect

How much ice will a side-mounted
maker produce in 24 hours?

ice

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.

Ice

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.
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.

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 (O)
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.

Turning the REAR HOUNTED
Haker On and Off

Ice

Ice production is controlled by the ice maker's
ON/OFF power switch. To gain access to the
ice maker, pull the ice cream shelf out. Press
the switch to the "0" position to turn it Off and
press it to the "I" position to turn it On. The
ice maker also has a built-in wire signal arm,
which automatically stops ice production when
the ice bin is full. DO NOT use this signal arm
to manually stop the ice maker.

Ice Maker/Dispenser

Tips

Ice cubes stored too long may develop
an odd flavor. Empty the ice container as
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.
, If you need a large quantity of ice at one
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

nai Arm

Running water
, When dispensing ice, you will hear a
snapping or clicking sound when the ice
chute opens and closes.
To avoid splashing, dispense ice into your
container before adding liquids.
It is normal for ice to fill to the top of the
ice bin.

Small ice cubes or ice chips jamming in the
ice maker may be a sign that your water
filter needs changing. If you have a side
mounted ice maker you may also experience
hollow cubes partially frozen cubes with
water inside. When these cubes are
harvested, they break open and spill water
over the other ice cubes in the ice container,
forming a solid mass of ice. 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.
The ice maker can't fill every cube in the ice
maker mold, leading to small cubes or chips
that can get caught between the ice ejector
blades and the stripper. Remember, if your
ice maker is jamming with small ice cubes or
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.

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.

Chemicals from a malfunctioning water
softener can damage the ice maker. If the
water supply to your refrigerator is softened,
be sure the softener is maintained to work
properly.

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.

Remove the ice bin by lifting up and out.

Empty and carefully clean the ice bin with
mild detergent. Rinse with clear water. Do
not use harsh or abrasive cleaners.

Allow the ice bin to dry completely before
replacing in the freezer.

Remove ice chips and clean the ice bin
shelf and the freezer door chute.

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.
You do not use the ice dispenser frequently.
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.

NEVER use an ice pick or similar sharp
instrument to break up the ice. This could
damage the ice storage bin and dispenser
mechanism.

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 fits into
place with the drive mechanism. 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. .....................

Auc

Locating the Filter

Water

Your refrigerator is equipped with a water
filtering system. The water filter system filters
all dispensed drinking water, as well as the
water used to produce ice.

The water filter is located at the top right side
of the fresh food compartment.

Air FHter (some

models)

The air filter is located at the top of the fresh
food compartment next to the water filter.
Replacing

the Air Filter

In general, you should change the air filter
every six months (the filter status light on
the control panel prompts you to replace
the filter after six months) to ensure optimal
filtering of refrigerator odors. You may want
to adjust this time period depending on the
types and amounts of food you typically
store in your refrigerator. To replace your
PureSeurce Ultra TM air filter:
1

Pull the air filter housing straight

Remove the old filter and discard it.

Unpack the new filter and place it inside
the housing.

Slide the housing back into position.
