Disposal

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.

Pressing and holding the On/Off button for
three seconds, located on the temperature
control panel, will disable your refrigerator's

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
the appliance is equipped with a threeprong 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 refrigerator to
a Ground Fault Interrupter (GFI) circuit. Do
not use an extension cord or adapter plug.

To avoid personal injury or property
damage, handle tempered glass shelves
carefully. Shelves may break suddenly if

Installation
This Use & Care Guide provides general
installation and operating instructions for
your model. We recommend using a service
or kitchen contracting professional to install
your refrigerator. Use the refrigerator only as
instructed in this Use & Care Guide. Before
starting the refrigerator,
follow these
important first steps.

Allow the following clearances for ease
of installation, proper air circulation, and
plumbing and electrical connections:
Sides & Top

3/8inch (9.5 mm)

Back

1 inch (25.4 mm)

Location
Choose a place that is near a grounded,
non-GFC[, electrical outlet. Do Not use an
extension cord or an adapter plug.
If possible, place the refrigerator out of
direct sunlight and away from the range,
dishwasher, or other heat sources.
The refrigerator must be installed on a floor
that is level and strong enough to support
a fully loaded refrigerator.
Consider water supply availability for
models equipped with an automatic ice
maker.

If your refrigerator is placed with the door
hinge side against a wall, you may have to
allow additional space so the door can be
opened wider.

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

To Avoid Property Damage:

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.

• 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. lastic 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 water
softener can damage the ice maker. If
your home has a water softening system,
ensure the softener is maintained and

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

Before Installing
The Water
Supply Line, You Will Need:
,

Basic Tools: adjustable wrench, fiat-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 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).

Ice maker operation

! maker.
............................................

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 turned on at the factory
so it can work as soon as you install your
refrigerator. If you cannot connect a water
supply, set the ice maker's On/Off feature
to Off; otherwise, the ice maker's fill valve
may make a loud chattering noise when it
attempts to operate without water.

& care

After the refrigerator is installed properly and
has cooled for several hours, the ice maker can
produce ice within 24 hours. The ice maker will
fill the ice bin from the rear. You must dispense
some ice to force the ice forward in the bin.
This will allow the bin to fill completely.

Ice Maker and S_orage Bin Capacity
This ice maker should produce 2.5 to 3 pounds
of ice per 24 hours.
In a Standard Depth model, the ice bin will
hold about 6.5 pounds of ice. In a Counter
Depth model, the ice bin will hold about 4
pounds of ice.

On occasion, unusually small ice cubes may
be noticed in the bucket or in dispensed ice.
This could occur in normal operation of the
ice maker. If you start seeing these more
frequently, it may be an indication of low
water pressure or the water filter needs to be
replaced. 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. Remember, if 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

,, If your refrigerator is not connected to a
water supply or the water supply is turned
off, turn off the ice maker as described in
the previous section.
• The following sounds are normal when the
ice maker is operating:
- Motor running
- Ice dropping into ice bin
- Water valve opening or closing
- Running water
When dispensing ice, you will hear a
snapping or clicking sound when the ice
chute opens and closes.
If you need a large quantity of ice at one
time, it is best to get cubes directly from
the ice bin.
,, Ice cubes stored too long may develop an
odd flavor. Empty the ice bin as explained
below.
,, When dispensing cubed ice, it is normal to
have a small quantity of little pieces along
with the whole cubes.
,, To avoid splashing, dispense ice into your
container before adding liquids.

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

the auger is accidentally rotated, you must
realign the auger by turning it in 45 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 not dispense
ice. The fresh food door also may not close
properly causing warm air to leak into the

Operation & Care of the Freezer
Ice Maker (select models)
After the refrigerator is installed properly, the
ice maker can produce ice within 24 hours.
When using the ice maker for the first time, and
in order for it to work properly, it is necessary
to clear air from the water tubing and the filter.
Furthermore, if the system is not flushed, the
first ice cubes may be discolored or have an odd
flavor. Once the ice maker begins making ice,
allow the bin to fill completely, then discard the
first FULL bin of ice on a Standard Depth model,
and the first TWO FULL bins of ice on a Counter
Depth model.

Ice Maker and S_orage Bin Capacity
This ice maker should produce between 2 and
2.5 pounds of ice per 24 hours depending on
usage conditions. In a Standard Depth model,
the ice bin will hold about 12 pounds of ice. In
a Counter Depth model, the ice bin will hold
about 7 pounds of ice.

• Keep the fresh food compartment
between 34°F and 40°F with an optimum
temperature of 37°1.
Avoid overcrowding the refrigerator

A freezer operates most efficiently when it
is at least % full.
Packaging

foods

Avoid adding too much warm food to the
freezer at one time. This overloads the
freezer, slows the rate of freezing, and can
raise the temperature of frozen foods.
Leave a space between packages, so cold
air can circulate freely, allowing food to
freeze as quickly as possible.

Ideas for saving energy
:Installation
,, Locate the refrigerator in the coolest part
of the room, out of direct sunlight, and
away from heating ducts or registers.
Do not place the refrigerator next to heatproducing appliances such as a range,
oven, or dishwasher. If this is not possible,
a section of cabinetry or an added layer
of insulation between the two appliances
will help the refrigerator operate more
efficiently.
• Level the refrigerator
close tightly.
Temperature

Frozen food storage
Keep the freezer compartment
lower.

Activating "quick freeze" also will help
your freezer more efficiently maintain the
selected temperature after placing new
purchases with pre-existing frozen foods.

for freezing

To minimize food dehydration and quality
deterioration, use aluminum foil, freezer
wrap, freezer bags, or airtight containers.
Force as much air out of the packages as
possible and seal them tightly. Trapped air
can cause food to dry out, change color,
and develop an off-flavor (freezer burn).
,, Wrap fresh meats and poultry with suitable
freezer wrap prior to freezing.
,, Do not refreeze meat that has completely
thawed.
Loading the freezer
• Prior to grocery shopping, activate
"quick freeze" so that on your return you
can ensure your newly purchased food
designated for the freezer will be preserved
as quickly as possible.

so that the doors

settings

• Refer to the "Controls" section for
procedures on temperature settings.
Food storage
Avoid overcrowding the refrigerator or
blocking cold air vents. Doing so causes
the refrigerator to run longer and use more
energy.
• Cover foods and wipe containers dry before
placing them in the refrigerator. This cuts
down on moisture build-up inside the unit.
Organize the refrigerator to reduce door
openings. Remove as many items as
needed at one time and close the door as
soon as possible.
Do not place a hot container directly on
a cold shelf. Remember, such an extreme
temperature change may damage the
glass.
