Ensure that your water supply line connections comply with all local
plumbing codes.

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.frigidaire.com/store 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.

ELECTRONIC TEMPERATURE CONTROLS
ALLOWING COOLING TIME BEFORE USE
To ensure safe food storage, allow your refrigerator to operate with the doors closed for at least 8 to 12 hours before placing food inside. During
this cooling period, you do not need to adjust the controls, which are preset at the factory.
SETTING COOLINGTEMPERATURES
Your refrigerator comes with a state-of-the-art electronic digital control system. The system’s control panel is located at the top of the the fresh
food compartment.
The two digital displays on the left half of the control panel indicate the current settings or temperatures of your freezer and fresh food
compartments. The models with a 2-digit temperature display are for reference only, and do not display the current accurate compartment
temperature. Should you desire to see what the current accurate temperature is, place a separate thermometer inside the freezer or fresh
food compartment in the desired location.
MECHANICAL TEMPERATURE CONTROLS
COOL DOWN PERIOD
To ensure safe food storage, allow the refrigerator to operate with the doors closed for at least 8 to 12 hours before loading it with
food.
REFRIGERATOR & FREEZER CONTROLS
TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT
• After 24 hours, adjust the controls as needed. Adjust temperatures gradually; move the knob in small increments, allowing the
* IMPORTANT
Turning the Freezer and Fresh Food Controls to “0” turns off the
compressor and prevents your refrigerator from cooling, 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.
NOTE
When changing control settings, wait 24 hours for the temperature to stabilize before making additional changes.

• For warmer temperatures, turn the knob towards Cold.
To maintain temperatures, a fan circulates air in the refrigerator and freezer compartments. For good circulation, do not block cold air
vents with food items.

HOW TO PRIME THE WATER SUPPLY SYSTEM
Your refrigerator’s water supply system includes several tubing
lines, a water lter, a water valve and a water tank. 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 and
whenever you replace the water lter.
caution
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:
• Begin lling the tank by pressing and holding a drinking
glass against the water dispenser paddle.
• Keep the glass in this position until water comes out of
the dispenser. There will be noticeable spurts and
sputters as the system pushes air out through the
system and dispenser nozzle. This is normal. This may
take about 1½ minutes.
• Continue dispensing water for about 3 minutes to ush
the system of any air and impurities. Empty glass as
needed.
caution
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.

OffswitchtotheOff(0)position. If the ice maker is not
turned off and the water supply is not connected, the
water valve will make a loud chattering noise.
HOW THE ICE MAKER WORKS
AUTOMATIC ICE AND WATER DISPENSER
The ice maker and container are located in the top of the
freezer compartment. After the refrigerator is installed properly
and has cooled for several hours, the ice maker can begin
making ice within 24 hours. Air in new plumbing lines may
cause the ice maker to cycle two or three times before making
a full tray of ice. With no usage, it will take approximately two
days to ll the ice container.
Because of new plumbing connections, the rst production of
ice cubes may be discolored or have an odd avor. Discard ice
made during the rst 24 hours.
TURNING YOUR SIDE MOUNTED ICE MAKER ON/OFF
To begin ice production, lower the wire signal arm to the DOWN
or ON position. The ice maker turns off automatically when the
ice container becomes full. To stop the ice maker, raise the wire
signal arm until it clicks and locks in the UP or OFF position
(see Figure 1).
TURNING YOUR REAR MOUNTED ICE MAKER ON/OFF
Ice production is controlled by the ice maker’s ON/OFF power
switch. To gain access to the ice maker, pull the ice cream shelf
out. Press the switch to the “O” position to turn it Off and press
it to the “I” position to turn it On (see Figure 2). The ice maker
also has a built-in wire signal arm, which automatically stops ice
production when the ice bin is full. DO NOT use this signal arm
to manually stop the ice maker.

household water may require the filter to be changed
more frequently.

AUTOMATIC ICE AND WATER DISPENSER
ICE PRODUCTION: WHAT TO EXPECT
How Much Ice Will a Side 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 a Rear Mounted Ice Maker
Produce in 24 Hours?
A rear mounted ice maker 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.
caution
If the dispensing paddle is pushed for more than four
minutes, the dispenser motor may overload and stop.
The overload protector will reset automatically after
three or four minutes.
Warning
Do not use the ice chute as a handle when removing
or replacing the ice storage bin. Surfaces there may be
sharp. Do not put fingers up ice chute. Surfaces there
may be sharp.
