CAUTION
To Avoid Property Damage:
* Copper or stainless steel braided tubing is recommended
for the water supply line. Water supply tubing made of
1Ainch 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 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 your home has awater
soften ing system, ensure the softener is maintained

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 mm) 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).
* A shutoff valve to connect the water supply line to your
household water system. DO NOT use a self-piercing
type shutoff valve.
A compression nut and ferrule (sleeve) for connecting a
copper water supply line to the ice maker inlet valve.

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
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 2-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.
9 is _oldest , allow 24 h_s for adj_stme_ts

The advanced electronic control system in your refrigerator includes additional display modes that service professionals can use to
rapidly diagnose performance issues:
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, and then changes
back to the current temperature.

TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT
After 24 hours, adjust the controls as needed. Make your adjustments small and gradual; allowing time for temperatures to change and
stabilize. Refer to the adjacent guidelines for temperature settings.
To adjust the temperature to a higher or lower setting, press the Up or Down button closest to the display. The first time you press the
button, the display shows the last setting you entered. Each press of the button after that increments the setting by one degree.
The display shows your new setting momentarily, and then changes back to the current temperature.
IF TEMPERATURE DISPLAYS FLASH...
If ever you see both temperature displays continuously flashing, it may indicate that the control system has detected a performance
problem. Call your service representative, who can interpret the flashing message.
To maintain temperatures, a fan circulates air in the refrigerator and freezer compartments. For good circulation, do not block cold air
vents with food items.

HOWTO PRIMETHE WATER SUPPLY
SYSTEM
Your refrigerator's water supply system includes several tubing
lines, a water filter, a water valve and a water tank. To ensure
that your water dispenser works properly, this system must
be completely filled with water when your refrigerator is
first connected to the household water supply line and
whenever you replace the water filter.
For proper dispenser operation, recommended water
supply pressure should fall between 30 psi and 100 psi.
Excessive pressure may cause water filter to malfunction,
TO PRIME THE WATER SUPPLY SYSTEM:
Begin filling the tank by pressing and holding a drinking
glass against the water dispenser paddle.
Keep the glass in this position until water comes out of
the dispenser. There will be noticeable spurts and
sputters as the system pushes air out through the
system and dispenser nozzle. This is normal. This may
take about 11Aminutes.
Continue dispensing water for about 3 minutes to flush
the system of any air and impurities. Empty glass as
needed.
NOTE
The Watei dispenser has a built'in deyice that Shuts off the
water flow after 3 minutes of continuous use. To reset this
shutoff device, simply release the dispenser paddle.
HOWTHE ICE MAKER WORKS
CAUTION
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
Your ice maker isshipped 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 s_gnal arm until it clicks and
locks in the UP position (side mounted') or turn the On/Off
switch to the Off (0) position, if the ice maker is not turned
off and the water supply is not connected, the water valve
will make a loud chattering noise.
The ice maker and container 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 begin
making ice within 24 hours. Air in new plumbing lines may cause
the ice maker to cycle two or three times before making a full tray of
ice. With no usage, it will take approximately two days to fill the ice
container.
Because of new plumbing connections, the first production of ice
cubes may be discolored or have an odd flavor. Discard ice made
during the first 24 hours.
TURNING YOUR SIDE MOUNTED ICE MAKER ON/OFF
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 (see Figure 1).
TURNING YOUR REAR MOUNTED ICE MAKER ON/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 "0" position to turn it Off and press it to the 'T'
position to turn it On (see Figure 2). 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.

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 ant 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.

iCE PRODUCTION: WHAT TO EXPECT
How Much Ice Will aSide Mounted Ice Maker Produce in 24
Hours?
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?
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.
ICE AND WATER DISPENSER FEATURES
The ice and water dispenser conveniently dispenses chilled
water, and ice cubes or crushed ice, depending on the model.
To operate the ice dispenser, select the ice option desired using
the touch pad. Press a glass against the dispensing paddle as
far up as possible to catch all ice. To stop dispensing ice, pull
glass away from dispensing paddle. Do not remove the glass
until the ice has completely dispensed. Complete instructions
for the dispenser operation are attached to the inside of the
freezer door (some models).
Remove ice container by lifting up and out. Empty and
carefully clean the container with mild detergent. Rinse
with clear water. Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaners.
Allow ice container to dry completely before replacing in
the freezer.
Remove ice chips and clean the shelf and chute that
supports the ice container.
Replace the ice container. Resume ice production on
side-mounted ice makers by lowering the wire signal
arm to the DOWN position. Resume ice production on
rear-mounted ice makers by pressing the ice maker's
On/Off power switch to the On (I) position.

Do not put fingers up ice chute. Surfaces there may be sharp.
If the dispensing paddle is pushed for more than four
minutes, the dispenser motor rnay overload and stop, The
overload protector will reset automatically after three or
four minutes.
ICE DISPENSER TIPS
Ice cubes stored too long may develop an odd flavor.
Empty the ice container and ensure that the ice maker is
on (see previous page). The ice maker will then produce
more ice.
* Occasionally shake the ice container to keep ice
separated.
* If a large quantity of ice is needed at one time, it is best
to remove cubes directly from the ice container.
* Stop the ice maker when cleaning the freezer and during
vacations.
* If the ice maker will be turned off for a long period of
time, turn the water supply valve to a closed position.
CLEANING THE ICE DISPENSER
Clean the ice dispenser and ice container at regular intervals,
particularly before you take a vacation or move, or if the ice
dispenser sticks.
Stop ice production on side-mounted ice maker by
raising wire signal arm to the UP position. Stop ice
production on rear-mounted ice makers by pressing the
ice maker's On/Off power switch to the Off (O) position.
When rem0ving or replacing the ice bin;DO NOT rotate the auger
in the ice bin. ff the auger is accidentally rotated, you must real!g n

An extended power failure (one hour or longer) causes
ice cubes in the ice storage bin to melt and freeze
together and jam the dispenser mechanism.
The ice dispenser is not used frequently. Ice cubes will
freeze together in the bin and jam the dispenser
mechanism. Remove the ice storage bin and shake to
loosen the cubes.

PURESOURCE 3TM iCE AND WATER FRONT
FILTER (SOME MODELS)
LOCATING THE 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.
WATER FILTER
The water filter is located at the top right side of the fresh food
compartment.
REPLACING 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 3TM) has flowed through the system.
Ifyour refrigerator has not been used for a period of time
(during moving for example), change the filter before reinstalling
the refrigerator.
ORDERING REPLACEMENT FILTERS
To order your replacement filters, please visit our online store at
www.frigidaire.com/store, by calling toll-free at 877-808-4195,
or by visiting the dealer where you purchased your refrigerator.
Electrolux recommends that you order extra filters when you
first install your refrigerator, and that you replace your filters at
least once every six months.
Here are the product numbers to request when ordering:

FOOD STORAGE iDEAS
Fresh
e
Fruits
e
Meat
Food Storage
The fresh food compartment should be kept between
34°F and 40°F with an optimum temperature of 37°R
Avoid overcrowding the refrigerator shelves. This reduces
the circulation of air around the food and results in
uneven cooling.
and Vegetables
Storage in the crisper drawers traps moisture to help
preserve the fruit and vegetable quality for longer time
periods.
* Raw meat and poultry should be wrapped securely so
leakage and contamination of other foods or surfaces
does not occur.
Frozen Food Storage
* The freezer compartment should be kept at 0°F or lower.
* A freezer operates most efficiently when it is at least 2/3
full.
Packaging Foods for Freezing
* To minimize 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
* 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 the packages, so cold air can
circulate freely, allowing food to freeze as quickly as
possible.
Avoid storing hard-to-freeze foods such as ice cream
and orange juice on the freezer door shelves. These
foods are best stored in the freezer interior where the
temperature varies less.
ENERGY-SAVING iDEAS
e
e
e
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.
Refer to this Use & Care Manual for the suggested
temperature control settings.
Do not overcrowd the refrigerator or block 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.

UNDERSTANDING THE SOUNDS YOU MAY
HEAR
Your new high-efficiency refrigerator may make unfamiliar
sounds. These are all normal sounds and soon will become
familiar to you. They also indicate your refrigerator is operating
as designed. Hard surfaces, such as vinyl or wood floors, walls,
and kitchen cabinets may make sounds more noticeable. Listed
below are descriptions of some of the most common sounds
you may hear, and what iscausing them.
A. Evaporator
The flow of 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.
® oTE poRTANT
Rigid foam insulation is very energy efficient, but is nota DUring the automatic defrost Cycle; you may notice a red glow in
sound insulator, the vents on the back wall of your freezer compartrnent, This is
normal during the defrost cycle.
D. Automatic ice Maker
E.
F.
If your refrigerator is equipped with an automatic ice
maker, you will hear ice cubes falling into the ice bin.
Cold Control & Automatic Defrost Control
These parts can produce a snapping or clicking sound
when turning the refrigerator on and off.
Condenser Fan
You may hear air being forced through the condenser
by the condenser fan.
G. Compressor
Modern, high-efficiency compressors operate much
faster than older models. The compressor may have a
high-pitched hum or pulsating sound.
H. Water Valve
If your refrigerator 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.
