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.
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 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.
WARNING
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 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 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 unit from electrical power source before connecting a water
supply line to the appliance.
CAUTION
To Avoid Property Damage: · We recommend using Copper or
Stainless Steel braided tubing for the water supply line. We do not recommend
using 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 water softener can damage the ice
maker. If your home has a water softening system, ensure you maintain the
softener and it is and working properly.
IMPORTANT
Ensure 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 PhillipsTM
screwdriver
· Access to a household cold water line with water pressure between 30 and 100
psi.
· A water supply line made of ¼ in. (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 ft. (1.8 m), so you can move the refrigerator 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 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, we recommend, for homes with existing
valves, Smart Choice® water line kit 5305513409 with a 6 ft. (1.8 meters)
Stainless Steel Water Line, and for homes without an existing valve, Smart
Choice® water line kit 5305510264 with a 20 ft. (6 meters) Copper Water Line
with self-tapping saddle valve. Please refer to Electrolux.com for more
information.

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. Allow the glass shelves to stabilize to room
temperature before cleaning. Do not wash in the dishwasher.
You can easily adjust shelf positions in the refrigerator compartments to suit
your needs. The shelves have mounting brackets that attach to slotted supports
at the rear of each compartment.
To change the shelf position:
1. Remove all food from the shelf.
2. Lift the front edge up and pull the shelf out.
For glass shelves:
1. Remove the air seal by pushing the seal straight back.
2. Position the air seal toward the outside edge of the shelf to avoid the
air tower when the shelf is pushed back into place.
3. Install the seal by sliding the open channel end of the seal onto back
edge of shelf until the seal sits snug on the back of the shelf and the flap
sits at about a 10° angle from the shelf surface.
IMPORTANT
Note the air seal located at the rear of the shelf. Shelves located on the
left side should have the air seal mounted on the far left side. Shelves
located on the right side should have the air seal mounted on the far right
side. This is to ensure there is no interference with the large air tower on
the back wall of the cabinet. This also applies to the crisper shelves.
3. Replace by inserting the mounting bracket hooks into the desired support slots.
4. Lower the shelf and lock it into position.

29 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 AND SETTINGS for
illustration.)
Fruits and vegetables
· Store fruits and vegetables in crispers, 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. Freeze
any meat to be kept longer than 2 days.
Frozen food storage
· Keep the freezer compartment at 0°F or lower.
· The 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.
Loading the freezer
· Prior to grocery shopping, activate Freeze Boost so on your return 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 2 appliances will help the
refrigerator operate more efficiently.
· Level the refrigerator so the doors close tightly.
Temperature settings
· Refer to CONTROLS AND SETTINGS 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.
30 NORMAL OPERATING SOUNDS
NOTE
Energy efficient foam in your refrigerator is not a sound insulator.
NOTE
During the automatic defrost cycle, a red glow in the back wall vents of your
freezer compartment is normal.
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.
The 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.
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.
L. Ice dispensing paddle When dispensing ice, you will hear a snapping,
clicking, or popping sound.
