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

accommodate gallon-sized plastic drink containers
and economy-sized jars and containers. Some bins
are adjustable for maximum storage capacity.
The dairy compartment, which iswarmer than the
general food storage section, is intendedfor short
term storage of cheese, spreads, or butter.
Fresh Drawers with Humidity
Control (some models)
The fresh drawers, located under the bottom
refrigerator shelf, are designed for storing fruits,
vegetables, and other fresh produce. The fresh
drawers feature humidity control which allows you
to adjust the humidity within the drawer. This can
extend the life of fresh vegetables that keep best
in high humidity. Wash items inclear water and
remove excesswater before placing them in the
crispers. Items with strong odors or high moisture
content should be wrapped before storing.
Crisper Humidity Control
Leafy vegetables keep best when stored
with the humidity control set on Higher
Humidity, or in a drawer without a Humidity
Control. This keeps incoming air to a
minimum and maintains maximum
moisture content.

Priming the Water Supply System
Your refrigerator's water supply system includes
several tubing lines, an advanced water filter,
a distribution valve bank, and a reserve tank
to ensure ample supply to the ice and water
dispenser at all times. This system needs to be
completely filled with water when first connected
to an external supply line.
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:
1 Begin filling the tank by pressing and holding
a drinking glass against the water dispenser
paddle.
2 Keep the glass in this position until water
comes out of the dispenser. It may take
about 11/= minutes.
Continue dispensing water for about four
minutes to flush the system and plumbing
connections of any impurities (stopping to
empty the glass as necessary).
The water dispenser has a built-in device that
shuts off the water flow after three minutes of
continuous use. To reset this shutoff device,
simply release the dispenser paddle.
Ice Maker Operation &Care
The ice maker, ice bin, and dispenser feeding
mechanism are located in the top of the freezer
compartment. After the refrigerator isinstalled
properly and has cooled for several hours, the ice
maker can produce ice within 24 hours. It can
completely fill an ice bin in about two days.
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 aRear Mounted Ice
Maker Produce in 24 Hours?
A rear mounted icemaker 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.
Using the Ice Haker after
Installation
Before making ice for the first time, be sure
to prime the water supply system. Air in new
plumbing lines can result in two or three empty
ice maker cycles. Furthermore, if the system
is not flushed, the first ice cubes may be
discolored or have an odd flavor.
Your ice maker is shipped from the factory
with the wire signal arm in the ON position

Small ice cubes or ice chips jamming in the
ice maker may be a sign that your water filter
needs changing. ]:fyou 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 and 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 Maker/Dispenser Tips
= Ice cubes stored too long may develop
an odd flavor. Empty the ice container as
explained below.
Occasionally shake the ice container to
keep ice separated.
If your refrigerator is not connected to a
water supply or the water supply is turned
off, turn Off the ice maker,
, If you need a large quantity of ice at one
time, it is best to get cubes directly from
the ice container.
The following sounds are normal when the
ice maker is operating:
Motor running
Ice dropping into ice container
Water valve opening or closing
Ice loosening from tray
Running water
When dispensing ice, you will hear a
snapping or clicking sound when the ice
chute opens and closes.
Turn Off the ice maker when cleaning the
freezer and during vacations.
If you turn Off the ice maker for a
long period of time, you should also
turn off the water supply valve.
.... Chemicals from a malfunctioning water
.... softener can damage the ice maker. If the
.... water supply to your refrigerator is softened,
be sure the softener is maintained to work
properly.

Remove the ice bin by lifting up and out.
Empty and carefully clean the ice bin with
mild detergent. Rinse with clear water. Do
not use harsh or abrasive cleaners.
Allow the ice bin to dry completely before
replacing in the freezer.
Remove ice chips and clean the ice bin
shelf and the freezer door chute.
6Replace the ice bin. Turn On the ice maker
to resume ice production.
Remove and empty the ice storage bin if:
• An extended power failure (one hour or
longer) causes ice cubes in the ice storage
bin to melt and freeze together, jamming
the dispenser mechanism.
You do not use the ice dispenser frequently.
Ice cubes will freeze together in the bin,
jamming the dispenser mechanism.
Remove the ice storage bin and shake to
loosen the cubes or clean as explained above.

NEVER use an ice pick or similar sharp
instrument to break up the ice. This could
damage the ice storage bin and dispenser
mechanism,
When removing or replacing the ice bin,
DO NOT rotate the auger in the ice bin. If
the auger is accidentally rotated, you must
realign the auger by turning it in 90 degree
turns (see below) until the ice bin fits into
place with the drive mechanism. If the
auger is not properly aligned when
replacing the ice bin, the refrigerator will
only dispense Crushed Ice. The freezer door
may also not close properly causing warm
air to leak into the freezer.

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.
Air Filter (some models)
The air filter is located at the top of the fresh
food compartment next to the water filter.
Replacing the Air Filter
In general, you should change the air filter
every six months (the filter status light on
the control panel prompts you to replace
the filter after six months) to ensure optimal
filtering of refrigerator odors. You may want
to adjust this time period depending on the
types and amounts of food you typically
store in your refrigerator. To replace your
PureSource Ultra TM air filter:
1 Pull the air filter housing straight out.
2 Remove the old filter and discard it.
3Unpack the new filter and place it inside
the housing.
4 Slide the housing back into position.
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
PureSeurce Ultra TM) has flowed through the
system.
If your refrigerator has not been used for a period
of time (during moving for example), change the
filter before reinstalling the refrigerator.
