you are getting rid of your old refrigerator or
freezer, please follow the instructions below to
help prevent accidents.
Proper Disposal of Refrigerators/Freezers
We strongly encourage responsible appliance
recycling/disposal methods. Check with your utility
more information on recycling your old refrigerator.
Before you throw away your old
refrigerator/freezer:
• Unplug the refrigerator before cleaning
and before replacing a light bulb to avoid
electrical shock.
• Remove doors.
• 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.

IMPORTANT
IMPORTANT
CFC/HCFC Disposal
Pressing and holding the On/Off button for
three seconds, located on the temperature
control panel (Electronic controls), or turning
the Freezer and Fresh Food controls to
“0” (Mechanical controls) will disable your
refrigerator’s cooling system, but does not
disconnect the power to the light bulb and
other electrical components. To turn off power
to your refrigerator you must unplug the
power cord from the electrical outlet.
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.

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

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 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.
more information.
• 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

AUTOMATIC ICE & WATER DISPENSER
Priming the Water Supply System Ice Production: What to Expect
How Much Ice Will a Side Mounted Ice
Maker Produce in 24 Hours?
Your refrigerator’s water supply system includes
several tubing lines, an advanced water filter,
a distribution valve bank, and a reserve tank
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.
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?
CAUTION
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.
For proper dispenser operation, recommended
water supply pressure should fall between
30 psi and 100 psi. Excessive pressure may
cause water filter to malfunction.
Using the Ice Maker after
Installation
To prime the water supply system:
1
Begin filling the tank by pressing and holding
a drinking glass against the water dispenser
paddle.
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.
2 Keep the glass in this position until water
comes out of the dispenser. It may take
about 1½ minutes.
3 Continue dispensing water for about four
minutes to flush the system and plumbing
connections of any impurities (stopping to
empty the glass as necessary).
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.
NOTE
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. It can
completely fill an ice bin in about two days.

AUTOMATIC ICE & WATER DISPENSER
Ice Maker/Dispenser Tips
• Ice cubes stored too long may develop
an odd flavor. Empty the ice container as
explained below.
Turning the REAR MOUNTED Ice
Maker 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 “O” 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.
• 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
Off On
Wire
Signal Arm
• 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.
IMPORTANT
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.
CAUTION
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.

AUTOMATIC ICE & WATER DISPENSER
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.
Auger
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.
• 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.
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 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.

CHANGING THE FILTER
Locating the Filter
Water 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.
The water filter is located at the top right side
of the fresh food compartment.
Replacing the Water Filter
Air Filter (some models)
The air filter is located at the top of the fresh
food compartment next to 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 UltraTM) has flowed through the
system.
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
PureSource UltraTM air filter:
If your refrigerator has not been used for a period
of time (during moving for example), change the
filter before reinstalling the refrigerator.
