DO NOT store or use gasoline, or other flammable liquids, or aerosols within or 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
Do not use electrical appliances inside the food storage compartments of the appliance unless they are of the type recommended by the manufacturer.

Child Safety
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
Destroy or recycle the carton, plastic bags, and any exterior wrapping material immediately after you unpack the refrigerator. 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.

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 unit, please follow the instructions below to help pre-vent accidents.
We strongly encourage responsible appliance recycling/disposal methods. Check with your utility company or visit energystar.gov/recycle for more information on recycling your old appliance

Before you throw away your old unit

Remove doors.
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 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 re-moved 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.

WARNING
Follow these guidelines to ensure safety mechanisms in this appliance will operate properly.

Electrical information

Plug the unit into its own dedicated 115 Volt, 60 Hz., 15 Amp, AC only electrical outlet. The power cord of the appliance is equipped with a 3-prong grounding plug for your protection against electrical shock hazards. Plug it directly into a properly grounded 3-prong receptacle. You must install the receptacle in accordance with local codes and ordinances. Consult a qualified electrician. Avoid connecting the unit to a Ground Fault Interrupter (GFI) circuit. Do not use an extension cord or adapter plug.
If the power cord is damaged, an authorized service technician should replace it to prevent any risk.
Never unplug the refrigerator by pulling on the power cord. Always grip the plug firmly, and pull it straight out from the receptacle to prevent damaging the power cord.
Performance may be affected if the voltage 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 unit from being turned off accidentally.
Unplug the appliance before cleaning and before replacing the AC LED light bulb to avoid electrical shock. Use only a 5-watt or less AC LED light bulb.

IMPORTANT
Turning the Refrigerator controls to OFF will disable your refrigerator’s cooling system, 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.

WATER SUPPLY CONNECTION

Ice Maker Models Only

NOTE
Automatic ice makers are optional accessories that you may install in most models at any time. Visit Frigidaire.com for information about Ice Maker Kit 117000.

WARNING
To avoid electric shock, which can cause death or severe personal injury, dis- connect the refrigerator from electrical power before connecting a water supply line to the refrigerator.

CAUTION
To Avoid Property Damage:

Use stainless steel braided tubing for the water supply line. Do not use water supply tubing made of ¼ in. plastic. Plastic tubing greatly increases the potential for water leaks, and the manufacturer will not be responsible for any damage if you use plastic tubing 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.

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, flat-blade screwdriver, and Phillips screwdriver.
Access to a household cold water line with water pressure between 30 and 100 psi.
A water supply line made of stainless steel tubing. To determine the length of tubing needed, measure the dis-tance from the ice maker inlet valve at the back of the refrigerator to your cold water pipe, so the refrigerator can 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.

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, we recommend for homes with existing valves its Smart Choice® water line kit 5304437642 (with a 6 ft. Stainless Steel Water Line) and for homes without an existing valve, we recommend Smart Choice® water line kit 5304493869 (with a 6’ Polyline Waterline). Please refer to Frigidaire.com for more information.

WATER SUPPLY CONNECTION

To Connect the Water Supply Line To the Ice Maker Inlet Valve

Disconnect the refrigerator from the electrical power source.
Place the end of 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.
Remove the plastic cap from the water valve inlet and discard the cap.
If you use copper tubing, slide 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 valve inlet and finger tighten the compression nut onto the valve. Tighten another ½ turn with a wrench; DO NOT overtighten. See below.
If you use braided flexible stain-less 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 ½ turn with a wrench; DO NOT overtighten. See below.
With the steel clamp and screw, secure the water supply line (copper tubing only) to the rear panel of refrigerator as shown.
Coil the excess water supply line (copper tubing only), about 2½ turns, behind the refrigerator as shown and arrange the coils so they do not vibrate or wear against any other surface.
To turn the ice maker on, press the ice maker’s On/Off power switch so the LED is illuminated.
Turn ON the water supply at the shutoff valve and tighten any connections that leak.
Reconnect the refrigerator to the electrical power source.

NOTE
Automatic ice makers are optional accessories that you may install in most models at any time. Visit Frigidaire.com for information about Ice Maker Kit 117000.

If your refrigerator has an automatic ice maker, it will produce minimal ice during the first 24 hours of operation. Air in new plumbing lines may cause the ice maker to cycle 2 or 3 times before making a full tray of ice. With no usage, it will take approximately 1 to 2 days to fill the ice container.
New plumbing connections may cause the first production of ice cubes to be discolored or have an odd flavor. Discard ice made during the first 24 hours.

IMPORTANT
The ice maker is shipped in the On position. To ensure proper function for your ice maker, hook up the water supply immediately or turn the ice maker Off. If the ice maker is on and the water supply is not connected, the water valve will make a loud chattering noise.

Turning your Ice Maker On
After completely connecting the plumbing, you must open the water supply valve. Place the ice container under the ice maker, pushing it as far back as possible. Press the ice maker’s On/Off button.

Turning your Ice Maker Off
To stop the ice maker, press the ice maker’s On/Off button. The ice maker regulates the ice production and stops making ice when full and starts again when ice is low in the ice container.

ICE MAKER

ICE PRODUCTION: WHAT
TO EXPECT
The ice maker will produce 2 to 2.5 pounds of ice every 24 hours depending on usage conditions. Ice is produced at a rate of 10 cubes every 100 to 160 minutes.

NOTE
Set the freezer to a colder setting to in-crease the output of the ice maker. Allow 24 hours for the temperature to stabilize.

CAUTION
Do Not place the ice container in your dishwasher.

CAUTION
When reinstalling the shelf, ensure the shelf clip is attached to the liner and holds it in place.

CAUTION
Do not clean glass shelves or covers with warm water when they are cold. Shelves and covers may break if ex-posed to sudden temperature changes or impact, such as bumping. Tempered glass is designed to shatter into many small, pebble-size pieces. This is nor-mal. Glass shelves and covers are heavy. Use both hands when removing them to avoid dropping.

CAUTION
To avoid personal injury or property damage, handle tempered glass shelves carefully. Shelves may break suddenly if nicked, scratched, or exposed to sudden temperature change.

Deli Drawer (some models)

IMPORTANT
Using the Deli Drawer to store fruits and vegetables may result in frozen produce. The Deli Drawer is designed to stay colder than the Crisper Draw-ers and should only be used to store lucheon meets, spreads, cheeses, and other deli items.
Store vegetables and/or fruit in the Crisper Drawers.

NOTE
Please be sure to support the glass when removing the drawer.

Store deli meats or spreads in the Half- or Full-Width Sliding Deli Drawer found in the middle section of your appliance.

IMPORTANT
Store vegetables and/or fruit in the Crisper Drawers.

Crisper Humidity Control (some models)
The crisper humidity control, present on the crisper drawers of some models, allows you to adjust the humidity within the crisper. This can extend the life of fresh vegetables that keep best in high humidity.

NOTE
Leafy vegetables keep best when stored with the Humidity Control set on High Humidity, or in a drawer without a Humidity Control. This keeps incoming air to a minimum and maintains maximum moisture content. Store non-leafy vegetables and fruits still in their skins at the low humidity setting.

STORAGE FEATURES

Auto-Humidity Control (some models)
Some crispers have an auto-humidity control at the rear of each crisper under the humidity control cover.

To remove the auto humidity control for cleaning

Reach to the back of the humidity control cover.
Pull up on the cover.
Pull the cover toward the back of the cabinet and remove.
Clean the humidity control with hot soapy water.
Replace the clean humidity control cover by reversing the steps above. Repeat for both crispers.

NOTE
We do not recommend replacing the auto-humidity membrane unless it becomes damaged or ruined. If the membrane becomes soiled, it can be washed with soap and water. Ensure the membrane is dry before replacing it in the cover and back in the unit.

NORMAL OPERATING SOUNDS

Understanding the sounds you may hear

Your new, high-efficiency refrigerator may introduce unfamiliar sounds. These sounds normally indicate your refrigerator is operating correctly. Some surfaces on floors, walls, and kitchen cabinets may make these sounds more noticeable.

NOTE
Rigid foam insulation is very energy efficient but is not a sound insulator.

Following is a list of major components in your refrigerator and the sounds they can cause:

A Evaporator Refrigerant through the evaporator may create a boiling or gurgling sound.
B Evaporator fan You may hear air being forced through the refrigerator by 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.

CARE AND CLEANING

Protecting your investment
Keeping your refrigerator clean maintains appearance and prevents odor build- up. Wipe up any spills immediately and clean the freezer and refrigerator compartments at least twice a year. When cleaning, take the following precautions:

Never use CHLORIDE or cleaners with bleach to clean stainless steel.
Do not wash any removable parts in a dishwasher.
Always unplug the electrical power cord from the wall outlet before cleaning.
Remove adhesive labels by hand. Do not use razor blades or other sharp instruments which can scratch the appliance surface.
Do not remove the serial plate.

Do not use abrasive cleaners such as window sprays, scouring cleansers, brushes, flammable fluids, cleaning waxes, concentrated detergents, bleaches or cleansers containing petroleum products on plastic parts, interior doors, gaskets or cabinet liners. Do not use paper towels, metallic scouring pads, or other abrasive cleaning materials or strong alkaline solutions.

NOTE
If you set your temperature controls to turn off cooling, power to lights and other electrical components will continue until you unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.

CAUTION
Pull the refrigerator straight out to move it. Shifting it from side to side may damage flooring. Be careful not to move the refrigerator beyond the plumbing connections.

IMPORTANT
If you store or move your refrigerator in freezing temperatures, be sure to completely drain the water supply system. Failure to do so could result in water leaks when the refrigerator is put back into service. Contact a service representative to perform this operation.
