IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
For your Safety
• DO NOT store or use gasoline, or other
ammable liquids in the vicinity of this or
any other appliance. Read product labels
for warnings regarding ammability and
other hazards.
• DO NOT operate the refrigerator in the
presence of explosive fumes.
• Avoid contact with any moving parts of
automatic ice maker.
• Remove all staples from the carton. Staples
can cause severe cuts, and also destroy
nishes if they come in contact with other
appliances or furniture.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT
CFC/HCFC Disposal
Your old refrigerator may have a cooling system
that used CFCs or HCFCs (chlorouorocarbons
or hydrochlorouorocarbons). 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 qualied
technician. If you intentionally release
refrigerant, you may be subject to nes
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 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 qualied
electrician. Avoid connecting refrigerator to
a Ground Fault Interrupter (GFI) circuit. Do
not use an extension cord or adapter plug.
you are getting rid of your 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 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
qualied service
technician. IMPORTANT
Pressing and holding the On/Off button for
three seconds, located on 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
Power cord with
3-prong grounded plug
Do not, under
any circumstances,
cut, remove,
or bypass the
grounding prong.
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.
• 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 rmly,
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 insufcient 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.

INSTALLATION
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. Sufcient air circulation
is essential for the proper operation of your
refrigerator.
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 rst 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 oor
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 ⅜ inch (9.5 mm)
Back 1 inch (25.4 mm)
Door opening
Your refrigerator should be positioned to allow
easy access to a counter when removing

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.
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. Stainless Steel Water Line) and for
homes without an existing valve, Frigidaire
recommends its Smart Choice®water line
kit 5305510264 (with a 20 ft. Copper Water
Line with self-tapping saddle valve). Please
refer to www.frigidaire.com/store for more
information.
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. lastic 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
your home has a water softening system,
ensure the softener is maintained and
working properly.
IMPORTANT
Ensure that your water supply line
connections comply with all local plumbing
codes.
Before Installing The Water
Supply Line, You Will Need:
• Basic Tools: adjustable wrench, at-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 re-use compression tting or use
thread seal tape.
• A compression nut and ferrule (sleeve) for
connecting a copper water supply line to
the ice maker inlet valve.

17
IMPORTANT
Your refrigerator’s water supply system
includes several tubing lines, a water lter,
and a water valve. To ensure that your
water dispenser works properly, this system
must be completely lled with water when
your refrigerator is rst connected to the
household water supply line.

ve seconds. The display shows “Sb” while in
Sabbath mode.
In the Sabbath Mode, the High Temp alarm is
active for health reasons. If a high temperature
alarm is activated during this time, for example
due to a door left ajar, the alarm will sound
intermittently for about two minutes. The
alarm will then silence on its own and a red
high temperature icon will display. The high
temp icon will continue to display, even if
the door is closed, until the Sabbath mode
is exited and the icon reset. The refrigerator
will function normally once the door is closed,
without any violation of the Sabbath/Holidays.
Freezer ice makers need to be manually turned
off to observe the Sabbath.

NOTE
Although you have entered the Sabbath
Mode, the ice maker will complete the
cycle it had already initiated. The ice cube
compartment will remain cold and new ice
cubes can be made with standard trays.
