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 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, please follow the instructions below to help prevent accidents.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Proper Disposal of Refrigerators/ Freezers
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 refrigerant 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.
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.
· 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.
IMPORTANT
Pressing and holding the On/Off button for three seconds, located on the left side of the temperature control panel 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.
Grounding type wall receptacle
Do not, under any circumstances, cut, remove, or bypass the grounding prong.
Power cord with 3-prong grounded plug
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
WARNING
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.
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 softener can damage the ice maker. If the ice maker is connected to soft water, ensure that the softener is maintained and working properly.
· A shutoff valve to connect the water supply line to your 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 ice maker inlet valve.
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 5305513409 with a 6 ft. (1.8 meters) Stainless Steel Water Line and for homes without an existing valve, Frigidaire recommends its Smart Choice® water line kit 5305510264 with a 20 ft. (6 meters) Copper Water Line with self-tapping saddle valve. Please refer to www.frigidaire.com/store for more information.
IMPORTANT
Ensure that your water supply line connections comply with all local plumbing codes.
Before Installing The Water Supply Line, You Will Need:

AUTOMATIC ICE MAKER-FREEZER (select models)
Ice maker operation & care
Ice maker tips
After the refrigerator is installed properly, the ice maker can produce ice within 24 hours. It can completely fill an ice bin in about three days.
· If your refrigerator is not connected to a water supply or the water supply is turned off, turn off the ice maker by lifting wire signal arm.
When using the ice maker for the first time and in order for the ice maker to work properly, it is necessary to clear air from water filter tubing. Once ice maker begins making ice, allow the bucket to fill completely, then discard the first TWO FULL buckets of ice. It will take at least two days to completely fill the bucket on regular ice making mode or 1½ days on fast ice mode.
The ice maker produces approximately four pounds of ice every 24 hours depending on usage conditions.
· 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
· Ice cubes stored too long may develop an odd flavor. Empty the ice bin as explained below.
Quick Ice Function
Ice Maker and Storage 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.
IMPORTANT
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, lift the ice maker's wire signal arm to turn it off. Otherwise, the ice maker's fill valve may make a loud chattering noise when it attempts to operate without water.
Turning the ice maker on and off
Ice production is controlled by lifting/lowering the ice maker's wire signal arm. To gain access to the ice maker, pull the freezer drawer out. Lift the wire signal arm to turn the ice maker OFF and lower the wire signal arm to turn it ON.
Your refrigerator is equipped with a Quick Ice Function, that increases ice production. This function terminates automatically.
CAUTION
If the water supply to your refrigerator is softened, be sure the softener is properly maintained. Chemicals from a water softener can damage the ice maker.
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. 2 Remove the ice bin. 3 Empty and carefully clean the ice bin
with mild detergent. Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaners. Rinse with clean water. 4 Allow the ice bin to dry completely before replacing in the freezer. 5 Replace the ice bin. Turn the ice maker on. 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 freeze together.
Remove the ice bin and shake to loosen the cubes or clean as explained above.
CAUTION

STORING FOOD AND SAVING ENERGY
Ideas for storing foods
Fresh food storage
· Keep the fresh food compartment between 34° F and 40° F with an optimum temperature of 37° F.
· Avoid overcrowding the refrigerator shelves, which reduces air circulation and causes uneven cooling.
Fruits and vegetables
· Store fruits and vegetables in crisper drawers, where trapped moisture helps preserve food quality for longer time periods.
· Wash items and remove excess water.
· 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 deli 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 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 "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.
· Activating "quick freeze" also will help your 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 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 so that the doors close tightly.
Temperature 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.

NORMAL OPERATING SOUNDS AND SIGHTS
Understanding the sounds you may hear
Your new, high-efficiency refrigerator may introduce unfamiliar sounds. These sounds normally indicate your refrigerator is operating correctly. Some surfaces on floors, walls, and kitchen cabinets may make these sounds more noticeable.
The following is a list of major components in your refrigerator 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. Ice maker fan, water valve activation, and refrigerant gas fluid may create sounds from its operation.
E Electronic control & automatic defrost control These parts can produce a snapping or clicking sound when turning the cooling system on and off.
F Condenser fan You may hear air being forced through the condenser.
G Compressor Modern, high-efficiency compressors run much faster than older models. The compressor may have a highpitched hum or pulsating sound.
H Water valve Makes a buzzing sound each time it opens to fill the ice maker.
I Drain pan (not removable) You may hear water dripping into the drain pan during the defrost cycle.
J Condenser May create minimal sounds from forced air.
M Motorized damper May produce a light humming during operation.
NOTE
Energy efficient foam in your refrigerator is not a sound insulator.
NOTE
During automatic defrost cycle, a red glow in the back wall vents of your freezer compartment is normal.
