Proper Disposal of your Appliance Risk of child entrapment
Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of the past. Junked or abandoned appliances are still dangerous – even if they will sit for “just a few days”. If you are getting rid of your old appliance, please follow the instructions below to help prevent accidents. We strongly encourage responsible appliance recycling/disposal methods. Check with your utility company or visit energystar.gov/products/recycle for more information on recycling your old appliance.

Before you throw away your old appliance:

• Remove door.
• 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 appliance may have a cooling system that used CFCs or HCFCs (chlorofluorocarbons or hydrochlorofluorocarbons). 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 appliance, 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 prove- sons of environmental legislation.
WARNING
These guidelines must be followed to ensure that safety mechanisms in this appliance will operate properly.

WATER SUPPLY CONNECTION (SOME MODELS)

WARNING
To avoid electric shock, which can cause death or severe personal injury, disconnect the unit from electrical power source before connecting a water supply line to the appliance.
CAUTION
To Avoid Property Damage:

• Use Copper or Stainless Steel braided tubing for the water supply line. Frigidaire does not recommend water supply tubing made of ¼” plastic. 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.

NOTE
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, flat-blade screwdriver, and Phillips TM screwdriver
• Access to a household cold water line with water pressure between 30 and 100 psi.
• A braided stainless steel water supply line with integral fittings such as Smart Choice® 5304437642 or ¼” copper line with compression fittings. The line must be 6˙ or longer to allow appliance to be moved out for cleaning.
• 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 reuse compression fitting or use thread seal tape.
• A compression nut and ferrule (sleeve) for connecting a copper water supply line to the water valve.

To Connect Water Supply Line To Water Inlet Valve

1. Disconnect the refrigerator from electrical power source.
2. Place the end of the 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 shutoff valve.
3. Remove the plastic cap from the water valve inlet and discard the cap.
4. If you use copper tubing – Slide the brass compression nut, and then the ferrule (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 the valve inlet and finger tighten the compression nut onto the valve. Tighten another half turn with a wrench; DO NOT overtighten. See Figure 1.

If you use braided flexible stainless 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 half turn with a wrench; DO NOT overtighten. See Figure 2.

*Include enough tubing in the loop to allow moving the refrigerator out for cleaning
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 refrigerator as shown and arrange coils so they do not vibrate or wear against any other  surface.
7. Turn ON the water supply at shutoff valve and tighten any connections that leak.
8. Reconnect the appliance to electrical power source.

NOTE
Check with your local building authori- ty 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 6Stainless Steel Water Line) and for homes without an existing valve, Frigidaire recommends its Smart Choice® water line kit 5305510264 (with a 20copper water line with self-tapping saddle valve).
