IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Child Safety
Destroy or recycle the carton, plastic bags, and any exterior wrapping
material immediately after the refrigerator is unpacked. 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
suffocation.
Safety Instructions
· DO NOT store or use gasoline, or other flammable liquids 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
Proper Disposal of Refrigerators/Freezers We strongly encourage responsible
appliance 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.
Do not use electrical appliances inside the food storage compartments of the
appliance unless they are of the type recommended by the manufacturer.
Proper Disposal of your Refrigerator or Freezer
Risk of child entrapment
Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of the past. Junked or
abandoned refrigerators or freezers are still dangerous even if they will
sit for “just a few days”. If you are getting rid of your old refrigerator or
freezer, please follow the instructions below to help prevent accidents.
IMPORTANT
CFC/HCFC Disposal Your old refrigerator 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 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.

16 WATER SUPPLY CONNECTION
WARNING
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 refrigerator.
CAUTION
To Avoid Property Damage: · Copper or Stainless Steel braided
tubing is recommended for the water supply line. Water supply tubing made of ¼
inch plastic is not recommended. 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 water softener can damage the ice maker. If
your home has a water softening system, ensure the softener is maintained and
working properly.
IMPORTANT
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, flatblade screwdriver, and a PhillipsTM
screwdriver
· Access to a household cold water line with water pressure between 30 and 100
psi.
· A water supply line made of ¼ inch (6.4 mm) OD, copper or stainless steel
tubing. To determine the length of tubing needed, measure the distance from
the water inlet valve at the back of the refrigerator to your cold water pipe.
Then add approximately 6 feet (1.8 meters), so the refrigerator can be moved
out for cleaning (as shown).
· 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 fittings or use thread seal tape.
· A compression nut and ferrule (sleeve) for connecting a copper water supply
line to the ice maker inlet valve.
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, Electrolux recommends its Smart Choice®
water line kit 5308815072 with a 6 ft. (1.8 meters) Stainless Steel Water Line
for homes with existing valves. Please refer to www.electrolux.com for more
information.
To Connect the Water Supply Line To Main Water Inlet Valve
1. Disconnect refrigerator from electric 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 water is clear. Turn OFF the
water supply at shutoff valve.
3. Remove the plastic cap from water valve inlet and discard.
17 WATER SUPPLY CONNECTION
4. If you use copper tubing – Slide the brass compression nut, then ferrule
(sleeve) onto the water supply line. Push the water supply line into water
valve inlet as far as it will go (¼ inch/6.4 mm). Slide ferrule (sleeve) into
the valve inlet and finger tighten the compression nut onto valve. Tighten
another half turn with a wrench; DO NOT over tighten. 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 over
tighten. See Figure 2.
5. Using the steel clamp and screw, secure water supply line to rear panel of
refrigerator as shown.
6. Coil excess water supply line (copper tubing only), about 2½ turns, behind
the refrigerator as shown and arrange coils so they do not vibrate or wear
against any other surface. Do not kink tubing.
7. Turn ON the water supply at the shutoff valve and tighten any connections
that leak.
8. Reconnect refrigerator to electrical power source.
9. To turn ice maker on, ensure the Ice Maker is enabled on display (LED will
be lit) or set the ice maker’s On/ off power switch to the “ON” position
(freezer ice maker).

22 AUTOMATIC ICE & WATER DISPENSER
Refrigerator Ice Maker
Priming the water supply system
Using the dispenser 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
have discolored water or have an odd flavor.
NOTE
Dispensed water is not chilled. For colder water, add ice to cup or container
before dispensing water.
CAUTION
For proper dispenser operation, recommended water supply pressure should fall
between 30 psi and 100 psi. Excessive pressure may cause the system to
malfunction.
1. Begin filling the system 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 1½ minutes.
3. Continue dispensing water for about four minutes to flush the system and
plumbing connections of any impurities (stopping to empty the glass as
necessary).
NOTE
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/Water Dispenser
Ice maker operation & care
After the refrigerator is installed properly and has cooled for several hours,
the ice maker can produce ice within 24 hours. The ice maker will fill the ice
bin from the rear. You must dispense some ice to force the ice forward in the
bin. This will allow the bin to fill completely.
Ice Maker and Storage Bin Capacity
The refrigerator ice maker should produce 2.7 to 3.2 pounds of ice per 24
hours.
The refrigerator ice bin will hold around 3.7 pounds of ice.
23 AUTOMATIC ICE & WATER DISPENSER
Refrigerator Ice Maker
Turning the refrigerator ice maker on and off
Ice production is controlled by the ice maker’s On/Off feature on the control
panel. Pressing the On/Off feature turns the ice maker on & off.
IMPORTANT
Turning off the ice maker simply disables ice making. You will still be able
to dispense existing ice, and you will still be able to dispense water.
NOTE
The ice maker also has a built-in plastic signal arm that automatically stops
ice production when the ice bin is full. This signal arm should not be used to
manually stop the ice maker.
IMPORTANT
Your ice maker is turned on at the factory so it can work as soon as you
install your refrigerator. If you cannot connect a water supply, set the ice
maker’s On/Off feature to Off; otherwise, the ice maker’s fill valve may make
a loud chattering noise when it attempts to operate without water.
Ice maker/dispenser tips
· If your refrigerator is not connected to a water supply or the water supply
is turned off, turn off the ice maker as described in the previous section.
· The following sounds are normal when the ice maker is operating:
– Motor running
– Ice dropping into ice bin
– Water valve opening or closing
– Running water
· If you need a large quantity of ice at one time, it is best to get cubes
directly from the ice bin.
· Ice cubes stored too long may develop an odd flavor. Empty the ice bin as
explained below.
· When dispensing cubed ice, it is normal to have a small quantity of little
pieces along with the whole cubes.
· To avoid splashing, dispense ice into your container before adding liquids.
· It is normal for ice to fill to the top of the ice bin.
Cleaning the ice maker
CAUTION
IMPORTANT
On occasion, unusually small ice cubes may be noticed in the bucket or in
dispensed ice. This could occur in normal operation of the ice maker. If you
start seeing these more frequently, it may be an indication of low water
pressure or the water filter needs to be replaced. 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. Remember, if 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.
If the water supply to your refrigerator is softened, be sure the softener is properly maintained. Chemicals from a water softener can damage the ice maker.
24 AUTOMATIC ICE & WATER DISPENSER
Refrigerator Ice Maker
Clean the ice maker and ice bin at regular intervals, especially prior to
vacation or moving.
1. Turn off the ice maker.
CAUTION
NEVER use an ice pick or similar sharp instrument to break up the ice. This
could damage the ice bin and dispenser mechanism.
To loosen stuck ice, use warm water. Before replacing the ice bin, make sure
it is completely dry.
IMPORTANT
Removing Ice Bin
2. Lift the ice bin upward then pull straight out to remove.
3. Empty and carefully clean the ice bin with mild detergent. Do not use
harsh or abrasive cleaners. Rinse with clean water.
4. Allow the ice bin to dry completely before replacing in the freezer.
5. Replace the ice bin. Turn the ice maker on.
Remove and empty the ice bin if:
· An extended power failure (one hour or longer) causes ice cubes in the ice
bin to melt and refreeze together after power is restored, jamming the
dispenser mechanism.
· You do not use the ice dispenser frequently. Ice cubes will freeze together
in the bin, jamming the dispenser mechanism.
When removing or replacing the ice bin, avoid rotating the auger in the ice
bin. If the auger is accidentally rotated, you must realign the auger by
turning it in 45 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 not dispense ice. The refrigerator door
also may not close properly causing warm air to leak into the refrigerator
compartment.

33 STORING FOOD AND SAVING ENERGY
Ideas for storing foods
Refrigerator storage
· Keep the refrigerator compartment between 34°F and 40°F with an optimum
temperature of 37°F.
· Avoid overcrowding the refrigerator shelves, which reduces air circulation
and causes uneven cooling.
· Avoid placing food in front of air ports. (See Controls Section for
illustration.)
Fruits and vegetables
· Store fruits and vegetables in crisper drawers, where trapped moisture helps
preserve food quality for longer time periods.
· Wash items and remove excess water.
· Wrap any items that have strong odors or high moisture content.
Meat
· Wrap raw meat and poultry separately and securely to prevent leaks and
contamination of other foods or surfaces.
· Use the deli drawer to store meat/ poultry for short-term storage. Any meat
to be kept longer than two days should be frozen.
Frozen food storage
· Keep the freezer compartment at 0°F or lower.
· A freezer operates most efficiently when it is at least full.
Packaging foods for freezing
· To minimize food dehydration and quality deterioration, use aluminum foil,
freezer wrap, freezer bags, or airtight containers. Force as much air out of
the packages as possible and seal them tightly. Trapped air can cause food to
dry out, change color, and develop an off-flavor (freezer burn).
· Wrap fresh meats and poultry with suitable freezer wrap prior to freezing.
· Do not refreeze meat that has completely thawed.
you can ensure your newly purchased food designated for the freezer will be
preserved as quickly as possible.
· Activating Freeze Boost also will help your freezer more efficiently
maintain the selected temperature after placing new purchases with pre-
existing frozen foods.
· Avoid adding too much warm food to the freezer at one time. This overloads
the freezer, slows the rate of freezing, and can raise the temperature of
frozen foods.
· Leave a space between packages, so cold air can circulate freely, allowing
food to freeze as quickly as possible.
Ideas for saving energy
Installation
· Locate the refrigerator in the coolest part of the room, out of direct
sunlight, and away from heating ducts or registers.
· Do not place the refrigerator next to heat-producing appliances such as a
range, oven, or dishwasher. If this is not possible, a section of cabinetry or
an added layer of insulation between the two appliances will help the
refrigerator operate more efficiently.
· Level the refrigerator so that the doors close tightly.
Temperature settings
· Refer to the “Controls” section for procedures on temperature settings.
Food storage
· Avoid overcrowding the refrigerator or blocking cold air vents. Doing so
causes the refrigerator to run longer and use more energy.
· Cover foods and wipe containers dry before placing them in the refrigerator.
This cuts down on moisture build-up inside the unit.
· Organize the refrigerator to reduce door openings. Remove as many items as
needed at one time and close the door as soon as possible.
· Do not place a hot container directly on a cold shelf. Remember, such an
extreme temperature change may damage the glass.
Loading the freezer
· Prior to grocery shopping, activate Freeze Boost so that on your return
34 NORMAL OPERATING SOUNDS

the evaporator fan.
C. Defrost heater During defrost cycles, water dripping onto the defrost
heater may cause a hissing or sizzling sound. After defrosting, a popping
sound may occur.
D. Automatic ice maker When ice has been produced, you will hear ice cubes
falling into the ice bin. Ice maker fan, water valve activation, and
refrigerant gas fluid may create sounds from its operation.
E. Electronic control & automatic defrost control These parts can produce a
snapping or clicking sound when turning the cooling system on and off.
F. Condenser fan You may hear air being forced through the condenser.
G. Compressor Modern, high-efficiency compressors run much faster than older
models. The compressor may have a high-pitched hum or pulsating sound.
H. Water valve Makes a buzzing sound each time it opens to fill the ice maker.
I. Drain pan (not removable) You may hear water dripping into the drain pan
during the defrost cycle.
J. Condenser May create minimal sounds from forced air.
K. Motorized damper May produce a light humming during operation.
