4IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Proper Disposal of your Appliance
Risk of child entrapment
Child entrapment and suocation are not
problems of the past. Junked or aban-
doned appliances are still dangerous –
even if they will sit for “just a few days”. If
you are getting rid of your old unit, please
follow the instructions below to help pre-
vent accidents.
We strongly encourage responsible appli-
ance recycling/disposal methods. Check
with your utility company or visit
energystar.gov/recycle for more informa-
tion on recycling your old appliance.
Before you throw away your old unit:
• 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 (chlo-
rofluorocarbons or hydrochlorofluoro-
carbons). 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 refrig-
erator, make sure the refrigerant is re-
moved 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.
Safety Instructions
• DO NOT store or use gasoline, or
other flammable liquids, or aerosols
within or in the vicinity of this or any
other appliance. Read product labels
for warnings regarding flammability
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 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
This appliance is not intended for use by
persons (including children) with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities,
or lack of experience and knowledge,
unless they have been given supervision
or instruction concerning use of the
appliance by a person responsible for
their safety.
Destroy or recycle the carton, plastic
bags, and any exterior wrapping material
immediately after you unpack the
refrigerator. 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 suocation.

5
WARNING
Follow these guidelines to ensure
safety mechanisms in this appliance will
operate properly.
Electrical information
• Plug the unit into its own dedi-
cated 115 Volt, 60 Hz., 15 Amp, AC
only electrical outlet. The power
cord of the appliance is equipped
with a 3-prong grounding plug for
your protection against electrical
shock hazards. Plug it directly into a
properly grounded 3-prong recep-
tacle. You must install the recepta-
cle in accordance with local codes
and ordinances. Consult a qualified
electrician. Avoid connecting the unit
to a Ground Fault Interrupter (GFI)
circuit. Do not use an extension cord
or adapter plug.
• If the power cord is damaged, an
authorized service technician should
replace it to prevent any risk.
• Never unplug the refrigerator by pull-
ing on the power cord. Always grip
the plug firmly, and pull it straight
out from the receptacle to prevent
damaging the power cord.
• Unplug the appliance before clean-
ing and before replacing the AC LED
light bulb to avoid electrical shock.
Use only a 5-watt or less AC LED
light bulb.
• Performance may be aected if the
voltage varies by 10% or more. Oper-
ating the refrigerator with insu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 unit from
being turned o accidentally.
Grounding type wall receptacle
Power cord with
3-prong grounded plug
Do not, under
any circumstances,
cut, remove,
or bypass the
grounding prong.
IMPORTANT
Turning the Refrigerator controls to
“OFF” will disable your refrigerator’s
cooling system, but does not disconnect
the power to the light bulb and other
electrical components. To turn o power
to your refrigerator you must unplug the
power cord from the electrical outlet.

IMPORTANT
Cleaning your Refrigerator
Remove tape and glue residue from
surfaces before turning the refriger-
ator on. Rub a small amount of liquid
dish soap over the adhesive with your
fingers. Rinse with warm water and dry
with a soft cloth.
Do not use sharp instruments, rubbing
alcohol, flammable fluids, or abrasive
cleaners to remove tape or glue. These
products can damage the surface of
your refrigerator.
After you remove all of the package ma-
terials, clean the inside of your refriger-
ator before using it. See the CARE AND
CLEANING section in this manual.
IMPORTANT
Moving your Refrigerator
Your refrigerator is heavy. When moving
the refrigerator for cleaning or service,
raise the anti-tip bracket (see “Setting
the Anti-tip Brackets”). Also be sure to
cover the floor with cardboard or hard-
board to avoid floor damage. Always
pull the refrigerator straight out when
moving it. Do not wiggle or “walk” the
refrigerator when trying to move it as
you could damage the floor.
This Use & Care Manual provides general
operating instructions for your model. Use
the appliance only as instructed in this

WATER SUPPLY CONNECTION
WARNING
To avoid electric shock, which can cause
death or severe personal injury, dis-
connect the refrigerator from electrical
power before connecting a water supply
line to the refrigerator.
CAUTION
To Avoid Property Damage:
• Use stainless steel braided tubing
for the water supply line. Do not
use water supply tubing made of
¼in. plastic. Plastic tubing greatly
increases the potential for water
leaks, and the manufacturer will not
be responsible for any damage if you
use plastic tubing 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 connec-
tions 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, Frigidaire recommends for
homes with existing valves its Smart
Choice®water line kit 5304437642
(with a 6 ft. Stainless Steel Water Line)
and for homes without an existing
valve, Frigidaire recommends its
Smart Choice®water line kit
5304493869 (with a 6’ Polyline
Waterline). Please refer to
Frigidaire.com for more information.
Before Installing The Water Supply Line,
You Will Need:
• Basic Tools: adjustable wrench, flat-blade
screwdriver, and Phillips screwdriver
• Access to a household cold water line
with water pressure between 30 and
100 psi.
• A water supply line made of stainless
steel tubing. To determine the length
of tubing needed, measure the dis-
tance from the ice maker inlet valve
at the back of the refrigerator to your
cold water pipe, so the refrigerator
can be moved out for cleaning.
• A shuto valve to connect the water
supply line to your household water
system. DO NOT use a self-piercing
type shuto valve.
• Do not reuse compression fitting or
use thread seal tape.
Ice Maker Models Only
NOTE
Automatic ice makers are optional acces-
sories that you may install in most mod-
els at any time. Visit Frigidaire.com for
information about Ice Maker Kit 117000.

18
To Connect the Water Supply Line To the
Ice Maker Inlet Valve
1. Disconnect the refrigerator from the
electrical power source.
2. Place the end of water supply line
into a sink or bucket. Turn ON the
water supply and flush the supply
line until the water is clear. Turn OFF
the water supply at the shuto valve.
3. Remove the plastic cap from the wa-
ter valve inlet and discard the cap.
4. If you use copper tubing, slide brass
compression nut, and then the fer-
rule (sleeve) onto the water supply
line. Push the water supply line into
the water valve inlet as far as it will
go (¼" / 6.4 mm). Slide the ferrule
(sleeve) into valve inlet and finger
tighten the compression nut onto
the valve. Tighten another ½ turn
with a wrench; DO NOT overtighten.
See below.
If you use braided flexible stain-
less steel tubing, the nut is already
assembled on the tubing. Slide the
nut onto the valve inlet and finger
tighten the nut onto valve. Tighten
another ½turn with a wrench; DO
NOT overtighten. See below.
5. With the steel clamp and screw,
secure the water supply line (copper
tubing only) to the rear panel of
refrigerator as shown.
6. Coil the excess water supply line
(copper tubing only), about 2½
turns, behind the refrigerator as
shown and arrange the coils so they
do not vibrate or wear against any
other surface.
7. To turn the ice maker on, press the
ice maker’s On/O power switch so
the LED is illuminated.

IMPORTANT
The ice maker is shipped in the On posi-
tion. To ensure proper function for your
ice maker, hook up the water supply
immediately or turn the ice maker O. If
the ice maker is on and the water supply
is not connected, the water valve will
make a loud chattering noise.
ICE PRODUCTION: WHAT
TO EXPECT
The ice maker will produce 2 to 2.5
pounds of ice every 24 hours depending
on usage conditions. Ice is produced at a
rate of 10 cubes every 100 to 160 minutes.
CAUTION
Do Not place the ice container in
your dishwasher.
ICE MAKER
If your refrigerator has an automatic ice
maker, it will produce minimal ice during
the first 24 hours of operation. Air in new
plumbing lines may cause the ice maker to
cycle 2 or 3 times before making a full tray
of ice. With no usage, it will take approxi-
mately 1 to 2 days to fill the ice container.
New plumbing connections may cause
the first production of ice cubes to be
discolored or have an odd flavor. Discard
ice made during the first 24 hours.
Turning your Ice Maker On
After completely connecting the
plumbing, you must open the water
supply valve. Place the ice container
under the ice maker, pushing it as far back
as possible. Press the ice maker’s On/O
button.
Turning your Ice Maker O
To stop the ice maker, press the ice mak-
er’s On/O button. The ice maker regu-
lates the ice production and stops making
ice when full and starts again when ice is
low in the ice container.
NOTE
Automatic ice makers are optional acces-
sories that you may install in most models
at any time. Visit Frigidaire.com for infor-
mation about Ice Maker Kit 117000.
NOTE
Set the freezer to a colder setting to in-
crease the output of the ice maker. Allow
24 hours for the temperature to stabilize.

20 CONTROLS AND SETTINGS
NOTE
When first turning the refrigerator on, adjust the control to Recommended. After 24
hours, adjust the controls as needed.
IMPORTANT
Adjusting the refrigerator temperature
control to OFF turns o the compressor
and prevents the refrigerator from cool-
ing, but does not disconnect the power
to the light bulb and other electrical
components. To turn o power to your
refrigerator, you must unplug the power
cord from the wall outlet.
NOTE
If your unit is in a garage or area where
the temperature is below 50° F, adjust
the freezer control to the coldest setting
to improve performance.
Cool Down Period
To ensure safe food storage, allow the refrigerator to operate with the doors closed
for at least 8 hours before loading it with food.
Temperature Adjustment
Adjust the temperature gradually: adjust the knob in small increments, allowing the
temperature to stabilize.
• For colder temperatures, adjust the control toward Coldest.
• For warmer temperatures, adjust the control toward Cold.
Adjusting the refrigerator control will change temperatures in both compartments. The
freezer control can be left at the factory preset (*Recommended) or adjusted as desired.
To maintain temperature, a fan circulates air in the refrigerator and freezer
compartments. For good circulation, do not block cold air vents with food items.
