Staples can cause severe cuts, and also destroy finishes if they come in contact with other appliances or furniture. WARNING Do not use electrical appliances inside the food storage compartments of the appliance unless they are of the type recommended by the manufacturer. Child Safety Destroy or recycle the carton, plastic bags, and any exterior wrapping material immediately after the refrigerator is unpacked. Children should NEVER use these items to play. Cartons covered with rugs, bedspreads, plastic sheets or stretch wrap may become airtight chambers, and can quickly cause suffocation. Proper Disposal of 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". When disposing of an 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 the utility company or visit energystar.gov/recycle for more information on recycling an old refrigerator. IMPORTANT CFC/HCFC Disposal Some old refrigerators 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 disposing of an old refrigerator, make sure the refrigerant is removed for proper disposal by a qualified technician. Intentionally released refrigerant may subject one to fines and imprisonment under provisions of environmental legislation.

CAUTION 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 water softener can damage the ice maker. If a water softening system is present, ensure the softener is maintained and working properly. IMPORTANT Ensure that the water supply line connections comply with all local plumbing codes. To install the water supply line, the following are needed: · 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 (6.4 mm) OD, copper or braided stainless steel tubing. To determine the length of tubing needed, measure the distance from the main water inlet valve at the back of the refrigerator to the cold water pipe. Then add approximately 6 ft. (1.8 m), so the refrigerator can be moved out for cleaning. · A shutoff valve to connect the water supply line to the household water system. DO NOT use a self-piercing type shutoff valve. · Do not reuse compression fitting or use thread seal tape. · A compression nut and ferrule (sleeve) for connecting a copper water supply line to the main water inlet valve. NOTE Check with local building authority for recommendations on water lines and associated materials prior to installing refrigerator. Depending on local/state building codes, Frigidaire recommends for homes with existing valves its Smart Choice® water line kit 5304437642 with a 6 ft. (1.8 meters) braided Stainless Steel Water Line. Please refer to Frigidaire.com for more information. NOTE Expect the first ice harvest within first 24 hours of unit operation. To prevent any issues concerning ice production, please ensure that all water lines are primed. See Priming the water supply system in the AUTOMATIC ICE AND WATER DISPENSER section. IMPORTANT The refrigerator's water supply system includes several tubing lines, a water filter, and a water valve.

The ice cube compartment remains cold and you can make new ice cubes with standard trays. 20 AUTOMATIC ICE AND WATER DISPENSER 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. Priming the water supply system CAUTION For proper dispenser operation, recommended water supply pressure should fall between 30 psi and 100 psi. Excessive pressure may cause the system to malfunction. 1. Begin filling the system by pressing and holding a drinking glass against the dispenser. 2. Keep the glass in this position until water comes out of the dispenser. It may take about 1 1/2 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). NOTE The water dispenser has a built-in device that shuts off the water flow after two minutes of continuous use. To reset this shutoff device, simply release the dispenser paddle. NOTE After the initial 26 ounces (750 ml), water will remain room temperature until the tank has refilled and been given enough time to chill the next 26 ounces (750 ml) of water. May take up to 8 hours to chill. Ice Maker Operation & 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. Dispense some ice to force the ice forward in the bin. This will allow the bin to fill completely. Ice Maker and Storage Bin Capacity This ice maker should produce 3.2 to 3.7 pounds of ice per 24 hours. The ice bin will hold about 4 pounds of ice. Turning the ice maker on and off IMPORTANT The ice maker is turned on at the factory so it can work as soon as the refrigerator is installed. If it is not possible to connect a water supply, set the ice maker's On/Off feature to Off either by using the display or by pressing the switch (features vary by model). Otherwise, the ice maker's fill valve may make a loud chattering noise when it attempts to operate without water. Press and hold Ice Maker on the external appliance control display for 3 seconds to turn ice production on and off. Dispenser 21 AUTOMATIC ICE AND WATER DISPENSER NOTE The ice maker also has a built-in plastic signal arm that automatically stops ice production when the ice bin is full. This signal arm should not be used to manually stop the ice maker. IMPORTANT Turning off the ice maker simply disables ice making. Existing ice can still be dispensed, and water can be dispensed. IMPORTANT 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 happening 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 last changing the water filter, replace it with a new one. Poor quality household water may require the filter to be changed more frequently. CAUTION If the water supply to the refrigerator is softened, be sure the softener is properly maintained. Chemicals from a water softener can damage the ice maker. Ice maker/dispenser tips · If 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 · If a large quantity of ice is needed 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 the container before adding liquids. · It is normal for ice to fill to the top of the ice bin. Cleaning the ice maker Clean the ice maker and ice bin at regular intervals, especially prior to vacation or moving. 1. Turn off the ice maker using the button on the display. 2. Remove the ice bin by lifting upward and pulling straight out. 3. Empty and carefully clean the ice bin with mild detergent. Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaners. Do not place in dishwasher. Rinse with clear water. 4. Allow the ice bin to dry completely before replacing in the freezer. 5. Replace the ice bin. Turn the ice maker on. 22 AUTOMATIC ICE AND WATER DISPENSER Remove and empty the ice bin if: · An extended power failure (one hour or longer) causes ice cubes in the ice bin to melt and refreeze together after power is restored, jamming the dispenser mechanism. · The ice dispenser is used infrequently. Ice cubes will freeze together in the bin, jamming the dispenser mechanism. Shake the bin 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 bin. To loosen stuck ice, use warm water. Before replacing the ice bin, make sure it is completely dry. Removing Ice Bin 23 STORAGE FEATURES 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. Allow the glass shelves to stabilize to room temperature before cleaning. Do not wash in dishwasher.

Plastic Lower Basket Divider Freezer Drawer 27 STORING FOOD AND SAVING ENERGY Ideas for storing foods Fresh food storage · Keep the fresh food compartment between 34°F and 44°F with an optimum temperature of 37°F. · Avoid overcrowding the refrigerator shelves, which reduces air circulation and causes uneven cooling. · Avoid placing food in front of air ports. (See CONTROLS AND SETTINGS for illustration.) Fruits and vegetables · Store fruits and vegetables in crisper drawers, where trapped moisture helps preserve food quality for longer time periods. · Do not wash items until ready to use. Remove excess water before placing inside unit. · Wrap any items that have strong odors or high moisture content. Meat · Wrap raw meat and poultry separately and securely to prevent leaks and contamination of other foods or surfaces. · Use the Custom-FlexTM Temp Drawer to store meat/poultry for short-term storage. Any meat to be kept longer than two days should be frozen. Frozen food storage · Keep the freezer compartment at 0°F (-18°C) or lower. · A freezer operates most efficiently when it is at least full. Packaging 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 Freeze Boost so newly purchased food designated for the freezer will be preserved as quickly as possible. · Activating Freeze Boost also will help the freezer more efficiently maintain the selected temperature after placing new purchases with pre-existing frozen 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 heat-producing 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 so that the doors close tightly. Temperature settings · Refer to CONTROLS AND SETTINGS for illustration and recommended 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. 28 NORMAL OPERATING SOUNDS Understanding the sounds coming from the refrigerator High-efficiency refrigerators may introduce unfamiliar sounds. These sounds normally indicate the refrigerator is operating correctly. Some surfaces on floors, walls, and kitchen cabinets may make these sounds more noticeable. L Ice dispenser When dispensing ice, a snapping, clicking, or popping sound may be heard. NOTE Energy efficient foam in the refrigerator is not a sound insulator. The following is a list of major components in the refrigerator and the sounds they can cause: A Evaporators Refrigerant through the evaporators may create a boiling or gurgling sound. NOTE During automatic defrost cycle, a red glow in the back wall vents of the freezer compartment is normal. B Evaporator fans Sounds of air being forced through the refrigerator by the evaporator fans may be heard. C Defrost heaters During defrost cycles, water dripping onto the defrost heaters may cause a hissing or sizzling sound. After defrosting, a popping sound may occur. D Automatic ice maker When ice has been produced, sounds of ice cubes falling into the ice bin may be heard. Ice maker fan, water valve activation, and refrigerant gas fluid may create sounds from its operation. D L H E F E Electronic control & automatic defrost control These parts can produce a snapping or clicking sound when turning the cooling system on and off. A K C B A F Condenser fan Sounds of air being forced through the condenser may be G heard. G Compressor Modern, high-efficiency compressors run much faster than older models. The compressor may have a high-pitched hum or pulsating sound. I J H Water valves Make a buzzing sound each time they open to fill the ice maker. I Drain pan (not removable) Sounds of water dripping into the drain pan during the defrost cycle may be heard. J Condenser May create minimal sounds from forced air. K Motorized damper May produce a light humming during operation. 29 FILTER REPLACEMENT Air Filter (select models) The air filter is located in the top center of the fresh food compartment.
