Proper Disposal of Refrigerators/Freezers
We strongly encourage responsibleappliance
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.
Avoid connecting refrigerator to a Ground
Fault[nterrupter (GFI) circuit. Do not use an
extension card 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

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.
CFC/HCFC Disposal
Your old refrigerator may have a cooling system
that used CFCsor HCFCs(chlorofluorocarbons
or hydrochlorofluorocarbons). CFCsand 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.

Your refrigerator should be positioned to
allow easy access to a counter or table when
removing food. For best use of drawers and
freezer baskets, the refrigerator should be
in a position where both the refrigerator and
freezer doors 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 1/4inch (6 mm) from
front to back (to ensure that doors close
and seal properly).

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
e
e
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 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 Avoid Property Damage:
*Copper or Stainless Steel braided tubing
is recommended for the water supply
line. Water supply tubing made of 1/4
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.
Ensure that your water supply line
connections comply with all local
plumbing codes.
Before Instelling The Water Supply Line, You
Will Need"
*Basic Tools: adjustable wrench, fiat-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 1/4inch
(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).
Check with your local building authority
i! 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.
To Connect Water Supply Line To Ice Maker
Inlet Valve
I Disconnect refrigerator from electric
power source.
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.
3Remove plastic cap from water valve inlet
and discard cap.
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 (1/4inch/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.
