WATER SUPPLY CONNECTION

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.

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.
• 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.

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 Phillips™ screwdriver
• Access to a household cold water line with water pressure between 30 and 100 psi.
• A water supply line made of ¼" (6.4 mm) OD, copper or stainless steel tubing. To determine the length of tubing needed, measure the distance from the ice maker inlet valve at the back of the refrigerator to your cold water pipe. Then add approximately 7' (2.1 m), 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.
• 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, Frigidaire recommends for homes with existing valves its Smart Choice^® water line kit 5304490728 (with a 6' Stainless Steel Water Line) and for homes without an existing valve, Frigidaire recommends its Smart Choice^® water line kit 5304490717 (with a 20' copper water line with self-tapping saddle valve). Please refer to Frigidaire.com for more information.

To Connect Water Supply Line To Ice Maker 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.
   
   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.

AUTOMATIC ICE AND WATER DISPENSER

Priming the water supply system

For proper dispenser operation, the 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. Water will sputter until you purge all air from the water lines.
3. Continue dispensing water for about 4 minutes to flush the system and plumbing connections of any impurities (stopping to empty the glass as necessary).

NOTE
Dispensed water is not chilled. For colder water, add ice to cup or container before dispensing water.

Ice maker operation & care

After you properly install the refrigerator and it 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.

Turning the ice maker on

Ice production is controlled by the ice maker's On/Off feature on the control panel. Pressing and holding the On/Off button toggles the ice maker On/Off.

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. Do not use this signal arm to manually stop the ice maker.
NOTE
The water dispenser has a built-in device that shuts off the water flow after 3 minutes of continuous use. To reset this shutoff device, simply release the dispenser paddle.

Ice Maker/Dispenser Tips

• Ice cubes stored too long may develop an odd flavor. Empty the ice container as explained in Cleaning the Ice Storage Bin.
• Occasionally shake the ice container to keep ice separated.
• If your refrigerator is not connected to a water supply or the water supply is turned off, turn Off the ice maker.
• If you need a large quantity of ice at one time, it is best to get cubes directly from the ice container.
• The following sounds are normal when the ice maker is operating:
  • Motor running
  • Ice dropping into ice container
  • Water valve opening or closing
  • Ice loosening from tray
  • Running water
• When dispensing ice, you will hear a snapping or clicking sound when the ice chute opens and closes.
• Turn Off the ice maker when cleaning the freezer and during vacations. If you turn Off the ice maker for a long period of time, you should also turn off the water supply valve.

Chemicals from a malfunctioning water softener can damage the ice maker. If the water supply to your refrigerator is softened, be sure the softener is maintained to work properly.

Cleaning the Ice Storage Bin

Clean the ice storage bin at regular intervals, particularly before you take a vacation or move.

To clean the ice storage bin:

1. Turn Off the ice maker.
2. Remove the ice storage bin by lifting up and out.
3. Empty and carefully clean the ice storage bin with mild detergent. Rinse with clear water. Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaners.
4. Allow the ice storage bin to dry completely before replacing it in the freezer.
5. Remove ice chips and clean the ice storage bin, shelf and the freezer door chute.
6. Replace the ice storage bin. Turn On the ice maker to resume ice production.

Remove and empty the ice storage bin if:

• An extended power failure (1 hour or longer) causes ice cubes in the ice storage bin to melt and freeze together, jamming the dispenser mechanism.
• You do not use the ice dispenser frequently. Ice cubes will freeze together in the bin, jamming the dispenser mechanism.

Remove the ice storage bin and shake to loosen the cubes or clean as explained above.

NEVER use an ice pick or similar sharp instrument to break up the ice. This could damage the ice storage bin and dispenser mechanism.

When removing or replacing the ice storage bin, avoid rotating the auger in the ice storage bin. If the auger is accidentally rotated, you must realign the auger by turning it in 45 degree turns (see below) until the ice storage bin fits into place with the drive mechanism If the auger is not properly aligned when replacing the ice storage bin, the refrigerator will not dispense ice. The freezer door also may not close properly causing warm air to leak into the freezer compartment.

Keeping your appliance 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.

• Pull the unit straight out to move it. Shifting it from side to side may damage flooring. Be careful not to move the appliance beyond the plumbing connections.
• Damp objects stick to cold metal surfaces. Do not touch refrigerated surfaces with wet or damp hands.
• Sudden temperature changes can cause glass breakage.

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

Glass Shelves

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.

Refrigerator: Shelves are easily adjusted to suit individual needs. Before adjusting the shelves, remove all food. Shelves are supported by side rails.
To adjust, lift up on the back of the shelf and pull forward.
Replace the shelf by sliding it on top of the formed rails on the side walls of the cabinet until the rear plastic hooks of the shelf lock into the rear of the cabinet liner.

To avoid personal injury or property damage, handle the freezer glass shelves carefully. These shelves are fixed and are not to be used as sliding shelves.

Freezer: You can remove the glass freezer shelf for cleaning. Remove all food from the glass shelf. Rotate the front trim down to remove front trim.

Remove both the rear trim and glass by pulling up on the rear tab and sliding the shelf forward.

Allow the glass shelves to stabilize to room temperature before cleaning. Do not wash in the dishwasher.

To reassemble the freezer shelf, slide the glass and rear trim along the shelf rails while pressing the shelf downward until it is fully locked into place in the rear.

Finally, rotate the front trim upward on the front edge of the glass shelf.

CONCERN	CAUSE	SOLUTION
AUTOMATIC ICE MAKER
Ice maker is not making any ice.	Ice maker is turned off.	Turn on ice maker. Press and hold the "On/Off" button for 3 seconds until the indicator light is on.
Ice maker is not making enough ice.	Check to see if water dispenser is dispensing slower than normal.	If it is, replace the ice and water filter cartridge.
	Freezer control is set too warm.	Set freezer control to colder setting to improve performance of the ice maker. Allow 24 hours for temperature to stabilize.
Ice cubes are freezing together.	Ice cubes are not being used frequently enough.	Remove ice container and discard ice from container. Ice maker will produce fresh supply.
	Ice cubes are hollow (partially frozen cubes with water inside).	The ice and water filter cartridge may be clogged. Replace filter cartridge.
	Freezer control is set too warm.	Set freezer control to colder setting. Allow 24 hours for temperature to stabilize.
DISPENSER (Ice & Water)
Dispenser will not dispense ice.	Dispenser lock out is engaged.	Press and hold control lock for 3 seconds.
	There is no ice in the bin to be dispensed.	See the "Ice maker is not making any ice" section above.
	The refrigerator doors are not completely closed.	Be sure to close the refrigerator completely.
	Dispenser paddle has been pressed too long and the dispenser motor has overheated.	The motor overload protector will reset in about 3 minutes and then ice can be dispensed.
	Not dispensing ice regularly may melt and refreeze ice causing ice clumping. Dispensing clumps could damage the ice bucket.	Empty the ice bucket monthly or regularly dispense ice. For longer periods of time (vacation or vacant homes) see Ice Maker/Dispenser Tips in the AUTOMATIC ICE AND WATER DISPENSER section to turn off the ice maker.
Ice dispenser is jammed.	Ice has melted and frozen around auger due to infrequent use, temperature fluctuations, and/or power outages.	Remove ice container, thaw, and empty the contents. Clean container, wipe dry, and replace in proper position. When new ice is made, dispenser should operate. See Cleaning the Ice Storage Bin in the AUTOMATIC ICE AND WATER DISPENSER section.
	Ice cubes are jammed between ice maker and back of ice container.	Remove ice cubes that are jamming the dispenser
Dispenser will not dispense water.	Water filter not seated properly.	Remove and reinstall the water filter. Be sure to push the filter firmly so that you hear it lock solidly into position.
	Water filter is clogged.	Replace filter cartridge. Be sure to remove protective caps and push the filter firmly so that you hear it lock solidly into position.
	Household water line valve is not open.	Open the household water line valve.
Water has an odd taste and/ or odor.	Water has not been dispensed for an extended period of time.	Draw and discard 10-12 glasses of water to freshen the supply.
	Unit not properly connected to cold water line.	Connect unit to cold water line that supplies water to the kitchen faucet.
Water pressure is extremely low.	Cut-off and cut-on pressures are too low (well systems only).	Have someone turn up the cut-off and cut-on pressure on the water pump system (well systems only).
	Reverse osmosis system is in regenerative phase.	It is normal for a reverse osmosis system to be below 20 psi during the regenerative phase. See the WATER SUPPLY CONNEC- TION section.
Water not cold enough.	As warmer tap water goes through the filter and enters the water tank the chilled water is pushed through to the dispenser. Once the chilled water is used up it will take several hours to bring the freshly replaced water to a cooler temperature.	Add ice to cup or container before dispensing water.
	Some models are designed without a water tank, these water dispensing systems are not designed to chill water.	Add ice to cup or container before dispensing water
OPENING/CLOSING OF DOORS/DRAWERS
Door(s) will not close.	Door was closed too hard, causing other door to open slightly.	Close both doors gently.
	Refrigerator is not level. It rocks on the floor when moved slightly.	Ensure floor is level and solid, and can adequately support the refrigerator. Contact a carpenter to correct a sagging or sloping floor.
	Refrigerator is touching a wall or cabinet.	Ensure floor is level and solid, and can adequately support the refrigerator. Contact a carpenter to correct a sagging or sloping floor.

	House fuse blown or tripped circuit breaker.	Check/replace fuse with a 15 amp time-delay fuse. Reset circuit breaker.
	Power outage.	Check house lights. Call local electric company.
Refrigerator runs too much or too long.	Room or outside weather is hot.	It's normal for the refrigerator to work longer under these conditions.
	Doors are opened too frequently or too long.	Warm air entering the refrigerator causes it to run more. Open doors less often.
	Refrigerator/freezer door may be slightly open.	Ensure refrigerator is level. Keep food and contains from blocking door. See PROBLEM column OPENING/CLOSING OF DOORS/DRAWERS.
	Freezer control is set too cold.	Set Refrigerator control to warmer setting until refrigerator temperature is satisfactory. Allow 24 hours for temperature to stabilize.
	Refrigerator/freezer gasket is dirty, worn, cracked, or poorly fitted.	Clean or change gasket. Leaks in door seal will cause refrigerator to run longer in order to maintain desired temperatures.
	Condenser is dirty.	Clean condenser. See CARE AND CLEANING.
Compressor goes off and on frequently.	Thermostat keeps the refrigerator at a constant temperature.	This is normal. Refrigerator goes on and off to keep temperature constant.
Appliance seems to run continuously.	The applaince is equipped with an energy-efficient variable speed compressor. It actually saves energy running more frequently.	This is normal.

Water collects in bottom of drawer.	Washed vegetables and fruit drain while in the drawer.	Dry items before putting them in the drawer. Water collecting in bottom of drawer is normal.
Stored products on top shelf freeze	Fresh food temperature setting too cold.	Adjust fresh food temperature settings.
	Certain products stored too close to damper / air filter housing.	Reconfigure top shelf storage to allow proper diffusion of air. See Damper/Air Filter Housing in the FILTER REPLACEMENT section.
WATER/MOISTURE/FROST OUTSIDE REFRIGERATOR
Moisture collects on outside of refrigerator or between doors.	Weather is humid.	This is normal in humid weather. When humidity is lower, the moisture should disappear.
	Door is slightly open, causing cold air from inside refrigerator to meet warm air from outside.	See PROBLEM column OPENING/CLOSING OF DOORS/DRAWERS.
