Child Safety
Packing Materials:
• Packing cartons covered with rugs,
bedspreads, plastic sheets, or stretch wrap
may become airtight chambers and can quickly
cause suffocation.
• Destroy or recycle the product’s carton, plastic
bags, and any other exterior wrapping material
immediately after the refrigerator is unpacked.
Children should never play with these items.
Child Entrapment and Suffocation:
• These problems are not limited to the past.
Whether junked, abandoned, or temporarily
stored (even for a few hours), unattended
refrigerators and freezers are dangerous.
Please take the precautions listed below.
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 recycle or dispose of your old
refrigerator/freezer:
• Remove the
doors.
• Leave the
shelves and
baskets in
place so
children may
not easily
climb inside.
• Have
refrigerant and
compressor oil
removed by a qualified service technician.

4
• The refrigerator must be plugged into its own
dedicated 115 Volt, 60 Hz, AC-only non-GFCI
electric 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. Do not
use an extension cord or adapter plug.
• If the power cord is damaged, it should
be replaced by the manufacturer, service
technician, or a qualified person.
• 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.
• To avoid electrical shock, unplug the
refrigerator before cleaning and before
replacing a light bulb or LED light.
• 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 outlet controlled
by a wall switch or pull cord to prevent the
refrigerator from being turned off accidentally.

Safety
WARNING
You must follow these guidelines to ensure
that your refrigerator’s safety mechanisms are
operating correctly.
IMPORTANT
To turn off power to your refrigerator, unplug the
power cord from the wall outlet.
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.

This Use & Care Guide provides general installation
and operating instructions for your model. We
recommend using a service or kitchen contracting
professional to install your refrigerator. Use the
refrigerator only as instructed in this Use & Care
Guide. Before starting the refrigerator, follow these
important first steps.
Location
• Choose a place that is near a grounded,
non-GFCI, electrical outlet. Do Not use an
extension cord or an adapter plug.
• If possible, place the refrigerator out of direct
sunlight and away from the range, dishwasher,
or other heat sources.
• The refrigerator must be installed on a floor
that is level and strong enough to support a
fully loaded refrigerator.
• Consider water supply availability for models
equipped with an automatic ice maker.
Installation
• Allow the following clearances for ease
of installation, proper air circulation, and
plumbing and electrical connections:
Sides & Top ⅜inch (9.5 mm)
Back 1 inch (25.4 mm)
Door opening
Installation
Your refrigerator should be positioned to allow easy
access to a counter when removing food. For best
use of refrigerator drawers and freezer baskets, the
refrigerator should be in a position where both can
be fully opened.
Guidelines for final positioning
of your refrigerator
• All four corners of the cabinet must rest firmly
on the floor.
• The cabinet should be level at the front and
rear.
• The sides should tilt ¼ inch (6 mm) from front
to back (to ensure that doors close and seal
properly).
• Doors should align with each other and be
level.
Most of these conditions can be met by raising or
lowering the adjustable front rollers.
CAUTION
DO NOT install the refrigerator where the
temperature will drop below 55°F (13°C) or rise
above 110°F (43°C). The compressor will not be
able to maintain proper temperatures inside the
refrigerator.
DO NOT block the toe grille on the lower front
of your refrigerator. Sufficient air circulation
is essential for the proper operation of your
refrigerator.
NOTE
If your refrigerator is placed with the door hinge
against a wall, you may have to allow additional
space so the door can be opened wider.
NOTE
The refrigerator doors are designed to shut by
themselves within a 20 degree opening.

12 Connecting the Water Supply
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 (6.4 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.
• 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.
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. 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.
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.
5. With steel clamp and screw, secure water supply line
(copper tubing only) to rear panel of refrigerator as shown.
6. Coil excess water supply line (copper tubing
only), about 2½ turns, behind refrigerator as
shown and arrange coils so they do not vibrate
or wear against any other surface.
7. Turn ON water supply at shutoff valve and
tighten any connections that leak.
8. Reconnect refrigerator to electrical power source.
9. To turn ice maker on, lower wire signal arm (freezer
ice maker) or set the ice maker’s On/Off power
switch to the “On” position (fresh food ice maker).
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.
IMPORTANT
Ensure that your water supply line connections
comply with all local plumbing codes.
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,
Electrolux 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, Electrolux recommends its Smart
Choice®water line kit 5305510264 (with a 20 ft. Copper
Water Line with self-tapping saddle valve). Please refer
to www.electroluxicon.com for more information.
IMPORTANT
After connecting the water supply, refer to “How to Prime
the Water Supply System” for important information
about priming an empty 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.

Automatic Ice Maker
Ice maker operation & care
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.
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 1½days on fast ice mode.
The ice maker produces approximately four pounds of
ice every 24 hours depending on usage conditions.
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.
Ice maker tips
• 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.
Cleaning the ice maker
Clean the ice maker and ice bin at regular intervals,
especially prior to vacation or moving.
1Turn off the ice maker.
2Remove the ice bin.
3Empty and carefully clean the ice bin with
mild detergent. Do not use harsh or abrasive
cleaners. Rinse with clean water.
4Allow the ice bin to dry completely before
replacing in the freezer.
5Replace 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
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.
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.
• The following sounds are normal when the ice
maker is operating:

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 or Custom TempTM drawer
and set to meat/poultry setting 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 ⅔full.
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 “fast
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 “fast freeze” also will help your
freezer more efficiently maintain the selected
Storing Food and Saving Energy
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 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.
