Door Opening
The refrigerator doors are designed to shut
by themselves within a 20 degree opening.
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.
Guidelines for final positioning of your
refrigerator:
All four corners of the cabinet must rest
firmly on the floor.
The cabinet should be level at the front and
rear.
The sides should tilt 1/4 inch (6 mm) from
front to back (to ensure that doors close and
seal properly).
Doors should align with each other and be
level.
All of these conditions can be met by
raising or lowering the adjustable front
rollers.
To level the cabinet using the front
rollers:
1 Open both doors and remove the toe
grille (see "Toe Grille Installation and
Removal" in the "Installation" section).
2 Close the doors and use a flat-blade
screwdriver or 3/8inch socket wrench to
raise or lower the front rollers.
3Ensure both doors are bind-free with their
seals touching the cabinet on all four
sides.
Raise
To level the doors using the adjustable
lower hinge (some models):
Before leveling either door, remove set
screw that locks door height into position.
(The door cannot be adjusted without set
screw removed).
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.)
If the freezer door is lower than the

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
thread seal tape.
A compression nut and ferrule (sleeve) for
connecting a copper water supply line to the
ice maker inlet valve.
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. ii ii
•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
codes.
Before Installing The Water Supply Line,
You Will Need:
e
e
e
Basic Tools: adjustable wrench, flat-blade
screwdriver, and Phillips TM screwdriver
Access to ahousehold 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).
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.

power source.
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.
Remove plastic cap from water valve inlet
and discard cap.
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 (1/4inch/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. See Figure 1.
If you use stainless steel tubing - The
nut and ferrule are already assembled on
the tubing. Slide compression nut onto

does not have a separate temperature control.
Chili Drawer (some models)
Some models are equipped with a Chill Drawer. Chill Drawer temperatures can be adjusted by
sliding the Chill Drawer Temperature Control in either direction. Use this pan for short term
storage of bulk meat items. If meats are to be kept longer than one or two days, they should be
frozen. The Chill Drawer is fixed and cannot be moved up or down. If fruits or vegetables are to
be stored in the Chill Drawer, set the Chill Drawer Temperature Control to a warmer setting to
prevent freezing.

Priming the Water Supply
System
Your refrigerator's water supply system
includes several tubing lines, an advanced
water filter, and a distribution valve bank to
ensure ample supply to the ice and water
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).
How Huch Ice Will aRear Hounted Ice
Haker 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.
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 aloud chattering noise.
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 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.
Turning the REAR HOUNTED Ice
Haker On and Off
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.
naiArm
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.
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
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.
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.
2
3
4
5
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.
6Replace 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.
Auc
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. .....................
Locating the Filter
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.
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 out.
2 Remove the old filter and discard it.
3Unpack the new filter and place it inside
the housing.
Water Filter
The water filter is located at the top right side
of the fresh food compartment.
Replacing the Water Filter
In general, you should change the water
filter every six months to ensure the
highest possible water quality. Water
Filter Status on the user interface prompts
you to replace the filter after a standard
amount of water (200 gallons/757 liters for
PureSource Ultra TM) has flowed through the
system.
If your refrigerator has not been used for a
period of time (during moving for example),
change the filter before reinstalling the
refrigerator.
4 Slide the housing back into position.
