Avoid connecting refrigerator to a Ground  
Fault Interrupter (GFI) circuit. Do not use an  
extension cord or adapter plug.  
help prevent accidents.  
Proper Disposal of Refrigerators/Freezers  
If the power cord is damaged, it should  
be replaced by an authorized service  
technician to prevent any risk.  
We strongly encourage responsible appliance  
recycling/disposal methods. Check with your  
utility company or visit  
information on recycling your old refrigerator.  
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.  
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.  
Leave  
shelves in  
place so  
children may  
not easily  
climb inside.  
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.

a qualified  
service  
technician.  
IMPORTANT  
IMPORTANT  
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.  
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.  
Grounding type wall receptacle  
Do not, under  
any circumstances,  
cut, remove,  
or bypass the  
grounding prong.  
WARNING  
These guidelines must be followed to ensure  
that safety mechanisms in this refrigerator  
will operate properly.  
Power cord with  
Electrical information  
3-prong gounded plug  
• 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 three-  
prong 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.  
CAUTION  
To avoid personal injury or property damage,  
handle tempered glass shelves carefully. Shelves  
may break suddenly if nicked, scratched, or  
exposed to sudden temperature change.

CONNECTING THE WATER SUPPLY  
A shutoff valve to connect the water supply  
line to your household water system. DO  
NOT use a self-piercing type shutoff valve.  
WARNING  
• Do not re-use compression fitting or use  
To avoid electric shock, which can cause  
death or severe personal injury, disconnect  
the refrigerator from electrical power before  
connecting a water supply line to the  
refrigerator.  
thread seal tape.  
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  
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  
information.  
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.  
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.  
To Connect Water Supply Line To Ice Maker  
Inlet Valve  
1 Disconnect refrigerator from electric power  
source.  
2 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.  
IMPORTANT  
Ensure that your water supply line  
connections comply with all local plumbing  
codes.  
3 Remove plastic cap from water valve inlet  
and discard cap.  
4 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 (¼ inch/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.  
Before Installing The Water Supply Line, You  
Will Need:  
• Basic Tools: adjustable wrench, flat-blade  
screwdriver, and PhillipsTM screwdriver  
Access to a household cold water line with  
water pressure between 30 and 100 psi.  
A water supply line made of ¼ inch  
(6.4mm) 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).  
If you use stainless steel tubing - The  
nut and ferrule are already assembled on  
the tubing. Slide compression nut onto  
valve inlet and finger tighten compression  
nut onto valve. Tighten another half turn  
with a wrench; DO NOT over tighten. See  
Figure 2.

CONTROLS  
Allowing Cooling Time Before Use  
To ensure safe food storage, allow your refrigerator to operate with the doors closed for at least  
8 to 12 hours before placing food inside. During this cooling period, you do not need to adjust  
the controls, which are preset at the factory.  
Setting Cooling Temperatures  
NOTE  
When changing control settings, wait 24 hours for the temperature to stabilize before making  
additional changes.  
Your refrigerator comes with a state-of-the-art electronic digital control system. The system’s  
control panel is located at the top of the fresh food compartment.  
The two digital displays on the left half of the control panel indicate the current settings or  
temperatures of your freezer and fresh food compartments. The models with a two-digit  
temperature display are for reference only, and do not display the current accurate compartment  
temperature. Should you desire to see what the current accurate temperature is, place a  
separate thermometer inside the freezer or fresh food compartment in the desired location.  
TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT  
To adjust the temperature to a higher or lower setting, press the Up (Cold) or Down (Colder)  
button closest to the display. The first time you press the button, the display shows current  
setting you entered. Each press of the button after that changes the setting by one.  
The display shows your new setting momentarily, then changes back to the current temperature.  
(Single Digit Display - Features may vary.)

CONTROLS  
ALARMS  
Power Fail  
In the event of a power failure, the ‘power fail’ alarm will sound three times. The ‘power fail’  
alarm is an audible alarm only and does not display in the control panel.  
High Temperature  
When a warm refrigerator is first powered on, the ‘power fail’ alarm will sound and the current  
set points will be displayed for a few seconds. After 20 minutes the ‘high temp’ alarm will sound  
if the freezer temperature is above 26°F or if the fresh food temperature is above 55°F (or both  
are above).  
If the unit is above the temperatures mentioned in the paragraph above, the affected  
compartment temperature display (fresh food, freezer or both) on the control panel will display  
‘HI’ and an alarm will sound. To disable the alarm press any key on the control panel. After  
which the control panel will then show the display temperature. The unit will continue to  
monitor the product temperatures for ‘high temp’ condition every 20 minutes. If the ‘high temp’  
condition persists, the alarm will sound again and can be reset again. Contact a customer  
service representative if the high temp alarm continues.  
The audible portion of the alarm will silence itself once the product temperature is below 26°F  
for the freezer temperature and 55°F for the fresh food temperature. The control panel will still  
show ‘HI’ until it is acknowledged by the user by pressing any key on the control panel. After  
which the control panel will then show the display temperature.  
Door Ajar  
If the door has been left open for an extended period of time an alarm will sound. (Some  
models will have a ‘door ajar’ indicator on the control panel). The alarm will continue to sound  
until the door is closed.  
Alarm Mute  
Alarms can be muted (except ‘power fail’) by pressing a key combination on the control panel.  
Press and hold the ‘freezer temperature up’ key while at the same time pressing the ‘fresh food  
temperature down’ key three times. This sequence must be completed within 5 seconds for  
the alarms to be muted. Once the alarms have been muted, they will stay muted even if the  
refrigerator is powered down. To turn the alarm sounds back on, use the same key combination  
that was used to mute alarms.

STORAGE FEATURES  
Fresh Drawers with Humidity  
Control (some models)  
CAUTION  
The fresh drawers, located under the bottom  
refrigerator shelf, are designed for storing fruits,  
vegetables, and other fresh produce. The fresh  
drawers feature humidity control which allows you  
to adjust the humidity within the drawer. This can  
extend the life of fresh vegetables that keep best  
in high humidity. Wash items in clear water and  
remove excess water before placing them in the  
crispers. Items with strong odors or high moisture  
content should be wrapped before storing.  
To avoid personal injury or property damage,  
handle tempered glass shelves carefully.  
Shelves may break suddenly if nicked,  
scratched, or exposed to sudden temperature  
change. Allow the glass shelves to stabilize  
to room temperature before cleaning. Do not  
wash in dishwasher.  
Cantilever Shelf Adjustment  
Refrigerator shelves are easily adjusted to  
suit individual needs. Before adjusting the  
shelves, remove all food. Cantilever shelves are  
supported at the back of the refrigerator.  
To adjust cantilever shelves:  
Higher Humidity Lower Humidity  
1
Lift front edge up.  
Pull shelf out.  
2
Crisper Humidity Control  
Replace the shelf by inserting the hooks at rear  
of the shelf into the wall bracket. Lower the shelf  
into the desired slots and lock into position.  
NOTE  
SpillSafeTM glass shelves (some models) catch  
and hold accidental spills. In some models, the  
SpillSafeTM shelves slide out for easy access to  
food and for fast cleaning. The shelves slide out  
independently of their mounting brackets. Just  
pull the front of the shelf forward. Shelves can be  
extended as far as the stopper will allow but are  
not removable from their mounting brackets.  
Leafy vegetables keep best when stored with  
the humidity control set on Higher Humidity,  
or in a drawer without a Humidity Control.  
This keeps incoming air to a minimum and  
maintains maximum moisture content.  
Crispers  
Crispers allow you the flexibility to store any  
manner of items including fruits, vegetables,  
nuts, etc. Crispers do not feature humidity  
controls.

Priming the Water Supply System Ice Maker Operation & Care  
Your refrigerator’s water supply system includes The ice maker, ice bin, and dispenser feeding  
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.  
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.  
Ice Production: What to Expect  
How Much Ice Will a Side Mounted Ice  
Maker Produce in 24 Hours?  
CAUTION  
For proper dispenser operation, recommended  
water supply pressure should fall between 30  
psi and 100 psi. Excessive pressure may cause  
water filter to malfunction.  
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?  
To prime the water supply system:  
1
Begin filling the tank by pressing and  
holding a drinking glass against the water  
dispenser paddle.  
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.  
2 Keep the glass in this position until water  
comes out of the dispenser. It may take  
about 1½ 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.  
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).  
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  
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.

AUTOMATIC ICE & WATER DISPENSER  
Turning the SIDE MOUNTED Ice  
Maker On and Off  
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.  
To begin ice production, lower the wire signal  
arm to the DOWN or ON position. The ice  
maker turns off automatically when the ice  
container becomes full. To stop the ice maker,  
raise the wire signal arm until it clicks and  
locks in the UP or OFF position.  
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.  
ON  
Ice Maker/Dispenser Tips  
Ice cubes stored too long may develop  
an odd flavor. Empty the ice container as  
explained below.

IMPORTANT  
CAUTION  
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.  
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 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.  
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.  
Auger  
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.
