Proper disposal of your refrigerator or freezer

Risk of child entrapment

Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of the past. Junked or abandoned refrigerators or freezers are still dangerous – even if they will sit for "just a few days". If you are getting rid of your old refrigerator or freezer, follow the instructions below to help prevent accidents.

We strongly encourage responsible appliance recycling/disposal methods. Check with your utility company or visit www.energystar.gov/recycle for more information on recycling your old refrigerator.

Before you throw away your old refrigerator/freezer:

• Remove doors.
• Leave shelves in place so children may not easily climb inside.
• Have it removed by a qualified service technician.

[IMPORTANT] 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.

Water Supply Connection

Before Installing The Water Supply Line

[NOTE] Automatic ice makers are optional accessories that you may install in most models at any time. Visit Frigidaire.com for information about Ice Maker Kit 117000.

[WARNING!] To avoid electric shock, which can cause death or severe personal injury, disconnect the appliance from the electrical power before connecting a water supply line to the appliance.

[CAUTION!] To avoid property damage:

• User stainless steel braided tubing for the water supply line. Do not use water supply tubing made of 1/4" plastic. Plastic tubing greatly increases the potential for water leaks, and the manufacturer will not be responsible for any damage if you use plastic tubing 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.

[IMPORTANT] Ensure your water supply line connections comply with all local plumbing codes.

You will need

• Basic tools: adjustable wrench, flat-blade screwdriver, and Phillips™ screwdriver.
• Access to a household cold water line with water pressure between 30 and 100 psi.
• A water supply line made of stainless steel tubing. To determine the length of tubing needed, measure the distance from the ice maker inlet valve at the back of the appliance to your cold water pipe. Then add approximately 6 ft (1.8 m) to ensure you can move the appliance for cleaning.
• A shutoff valve to connect the water supply line to your household water system. Do not use a self-piercing type shutoff valve.

[NOTE] Do not reuse compression fitting or use thread seal tape.

[NOTE] 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 5304437642 with a 6 ft stainless steel water line.
• for homes without an existing valve, we recommend Smart Choice® water line kit 5304493869 with a 6 ft polyline waterline. Please refer to Frigidaire.com for more information.

Installing the water supply line

[NOTE] These instructions do not cover after market ice maker installation. Instructions in after market ice maker kit should be used.

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.
3. Remove plastic cap from water valve inlet and discard cap.
4. Depending on the tubing 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 (1/4" / 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.
• Braided flexible stainless steel tubing - The nut is already assembled on the tubing. Slide nut onto valve inlet and finger tighten nut onto valve. Tighten another half turn with a wrench; do not over tighten.
5. With steel clamp and screw, secure water supply line to rear panel of the appliance.

6. Coil excess water supply line (copper tubing only), about 2.5 turns, behind refrigerator as shown and arrange coils so they do not vibrate or wear against any other surface. Do not kink tubing.

7. Turn on water supply at shutoff valve and tighten any connections that leak.

Ice Maker

Automatic ice maker

[NOTE] Automatic ice makers are optional accessories that you may install in most models at any time. Visit Frigidaire.com for information about ice maker kit 117000.

If your appliance has an automatic ice maker, it will produce minimal ice during the first 24 hours of operation. Air in new plumbing lines may cause the ice maker to cycle 2 or 3 times before making a full tray of ice. With no usage, it will take approximately 1 to 2 days to fill the ice container.

New plumbing connections may cause the first production of ice cubes to be discolored or have an odd flavor. Discard the ice produced during the first 24 hours.

[NOTE] The ice maker is shipped in the ON position. To ensure proper function for your ice maker, hook up the water supply immediately or turn the ice maker OFF. If the ice maker is on and the water supply is not connected, the water valve will make a loud chattering noise.

Turning ice maker on

After connecting the plumbing, open the water supply valve. Place the ice container under the ice maker, pushing it as far back as possible.

Press the ice maker's On/Off [Power Button Symbol] button.

Turning ice maker off

To stop the ice maker, press the ice maker's On/Off [Power Button Symbol] button. The ice maker regulates the ice production and stops making ice when full and starts again when ice is low in the ice container.

Ice production

The ice maker produces 2 to 2.5 lbs of ice every 24 hours depending on usage conditions. Ice is produced at a rate of 10 cubes every 100 to 160 minutes.

[NOTE] Set the freezer to a colder setting to increase the output of the ice maker. Allow 24 hours for the temperature to stabilize.

[NOTE] Do not place the ice container in a dishwasher.

Controls and Settings

To replace shelves, insert the rear of the shelf into any pair of shelf rails and carefully push the shelf back into position, making sure the shelf clips (A) go in the notch in the liner.

[Diagram showing shelf adjustment with clip A]

Glass Shell

[Diagram showing Wire Shelf with clips]

[CAUTION!] When reinstalling the shelf, ensure the shelf clip is attached to the liner and holds it in place.

[CAUTION!] Do not clean glass shelves or covers with warm water when they are cold. Shelves and covers may break if exposed to sudden temperature changes or impact, such as bumping. Tempered glass is designed to shatter into many small, pebble-size pieces. This is normal. Glass shelves and covers are heavy. Use both hands when removing them to avoid dropping.

[NOTE] 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.

Deli Drawer (some models)

[IMPORTANT] Using the deli drawer to store fruits and vegetables may result in frozen produce. The deli drawer is designed to stay colder than the crisper drawers and should only be used to store luncheon meats, spreads, cheeses, and other deli items. Store vegetables and/or fruit in the crisper drawers.

[NOTE] Be sure to support the glass when removing the drawer.

Store deli meats or spreads in the half- or full-width sliding deli drawer found in the middle section of your appliance.

[Diagram of Half-width sliding deli drawer]

[Diagram of Full-width sliding deli drawer]

Crisper Humidity Control (some models)

The crisper humidity control, present on the crisper drawers of some models, allows you to adjust the humidity within the crisper. This can extend the life of fresh vegetables that keep best in high humidity.

[NOTE] Leafy vegetables keep best when stored with the humidity control set on high humidity, or in a drawer without a humidity control. This keeps incoming air to a minimum and maintains maximum moisture content. Store non-leafy vegetables and fruits still in their skins at the low humidity setting.

Auto-humidity control (some models)

Some crispers have an auto-humidity control at the rear of each crisper under the humidity control cover.

To remove the auto humidity control for cleaning:

1. Reach to the back of the humidity control cover.
2. Pull up on the cover.
3. Pull the cover toward the back of the cabinet and remove.
4. Clean the humidity control with hot soapy water.
5. Replace the clean humidity control cover by reversing the steps above. Repeat for both crispers.

[Diagram showing crisper humidity control adjustment]

[NOTE] We do not recommend replacing the auto-humidity membrane unless it becomes damaged or ruined. If the membrane becomes soiled, it can be washed with soap and water. Ensure the membrane is dry before replacing it in the cover and back in the appliance.

[IMPORTANT] Store vegetables and/or fruit in the crisper drawers.

Normal Operating Sounds

Understanding the sounds you may hear

Your new, high-efficiency appliance may introduce unfamiliar sounds. These sounds normally indicate your appliance is operating correctly. Some surfaces on floors, walls, and kitchen cabinets may make these sounds more noticeable.

[NOTE] Energy efficient foam in your appliance is not a sound insulator.

Following is a list of major components in your appliance and the sounds they can cause:

• A. Evaporator. Refrigerant through the evaporator may create a boiling or gurgling sound.
• B. Evaporator fan. You may hear air being forced through the refrigerator by the evaporator fan.
• C. Defrost heater. During defrost cycles, water dripping onto the defrost heater may cause a hissing or sizzling sound. After defrosting, a popping sound may occur.
• D. Automatic Ice maker. When ice has been produced, you will hear ice cubes falling into the ice bin.
• E. Condenser fan. You may hear air being forced through the condenser.
• F. Compressor. Modern, high-efficiency compressors run much faster than previous models. The compressor may have a noticeable hum or pulsating sound during operation.
• G. If your appliance is equipped with an automatic ice maker, you will hear a buzzing sound as the water valve opens to fill the ice maker during each cycle.
• H. Drain pan (not removable). You may hear water dripping into the drain pan during the defrost cycle.
• I. Condenser. May create minimal sounds from forced air.

[Diagram showing components A-I]

[IMPORTANT] Ice maker models only: If the ice maker is not connected to the household water supply, you may hear a loud chattering noise. Turn off the ice maker by pressing the green On/Off power switch (green LED light will turn off) until you install the water supply line.

[NOTE] During automatic defrost cycle, a red glow in the back wall vents of your freezer compartment is normal.

Filter Replacement

PureAir™ RAF-1 Air Filter

Care and Cleaning

Protecting your investment

Keeping your appliance clean maintains its appearance and prevents odor build-up. Wipe up any spills immediately and clean the freezer and fresh food compartments at least twice a year. When cleaning, take the following precautions:

• Never use chloride or cleaners with bleach to clean stainless steel.
• Do not wash any removable parts in a dishwasher.
• Always unplug the electrical power cord from the wall outlet before cleaning.
• Do not remove the serial plate. Removal of your serial plate voids your warranty.
• Remove adhesive labels by hand. Do not use razor blades or other sharp instruments which can scratch the appliance surface.
• Do not use abrasive cleaners such as window sprays, scouring cleansers, brushes, flammable fluids, cleaning waxes, concentrated detergents, bleaches or cleansers containing petroleum products on plastic parts, interior doors, gaskets or cabinet liners. Do not use paper towels, metallic scouring pads, or other abrasive cleaning materials or strong alkaline solutions.

[NOTE] If you set your temperature controls to turn off cooling, power to lights and other electrical components will continue until you unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.

[CAUTION!] Pull the appliance straight out to move it. Shifting it from side to side may damage flooring. Be careful not to move the appliance beyond the plumbing connections.

[IMPORTANT] If you store or move your appliance in freezing temperatures, be sure to completely drain the water supply system. Failure to do so could result in water leaks when the appliance is put back into service. Contact a service representative to perform this operation.

Care & Cleaning Tips

Exterior and handles (Stainless steel models only)

• Soap and water
• Stainless steel cleaners

Never use chloride or cleaners with bleach to clean stainless steel. Clean stainless steel front and handles with non-abrasive soapy water and a dishcloth. Rinse with clean water and a soft cloth. Use a non-abrasive stainless steel cleaner. These cleaners can be purchased at most home improvement or major department stores. Always follow manufacturer's instructions. Do not use household cleaners containing ammonia or bleach.

Always clean, wipe and dry with the grain to prevent scratching. Wash the rest of the cabinet with warm water and mild liquid detergent. Rinse well, and wipe dry with a clean soft cloth.

Replacing LED bulbs

1. Unplug the appliance.
2. Wear gloves.
3. Remove light cover.
4. Replace old bulb.
