Final Checks
Accessories are available for your appliance and may be purchased at Frigidaire.com or by calling 1-800-374-4432 (Frigidaire.ca or 1-800-265-8352 in Canada) or from an authorized seller.
This Use & Care Manual provides general installation and operating instructions for your model. We recommend using a service or kitchen contracting professional to install your refrigerator. Use the refrigerator only as instructed in this Use & Care Manual.
Before starting the refrigerator, follow these important first steps.
This appliance is intended for use in residential household and similar interior applications such as:
Do Not install the refrigerator where the temperature will drop below 55°F (13°C) or rise above 110°F (43°C). The compressor will not be able to maintain proper temperatures inside the refrigerator.
Installation
Allow the following clearances for ease of installation, proper air circulation, and plumbing and electrical connections:
NOTE:
If your refrigerator is placed with the door hinge side against a wall, you may have to allow additional space so the door can be opened wider.
Your refrigerator should be positioned to allow easy access to a counter when removing food. For best use of refrigerator drawers and freezer baskets, the refrigerator should be in a position where both can be fully opened.
Guidelines for final positioning of refrigerator:
Most of these conditions can be met by raising or lowering the adjustable front rollers.
To level the cabinet using the front rollers:
NOTE: Product is shipped with doors adjusted to the lowest position on the hinges.
To make final door height adjustments:
Adjust Flipper Mullion for proper connection with the mullion guide by ensuring the flipper mullion is folded and perpendicular to the fresh food door. If the mullion guide is not in the correct position, it could prevent the door from closing completely.
To adjust the flipper mullion:
If your refrigerator will not fit through an entrance area, you can remove the doors. Check first by measuring the entrance.
To prepare for removing the doors:
Make sure the electrical power cord is unplugged from the wall outlet.
To remove refrigerator doors:
NOTE : You will be pulling approximately five feet of water tube from the back of the refrigerator. Use care while pulling the water tube from the unit to be sure that you do not kink the tube.
Be sure doors are set aside in a secure position where they cannot fall and cause personal injury, or damage to the doors or handles.
NOTE: When reinserting the water tube and replacing the top hinge cover, use care to be sure you do not kink the tube. The water line may also be difficult to pass back through the conduit inside the cabinet
NOTE: Upon replacement, the tube needs to be fully inserted up to the marking line.
If doors are removed at less than a 40 degree angle, the pin returns to the home position. It can be reset by turning the door upside down and using a 5/32" Allen wrench to rotate the left hand pin 90 degrees clockwise and the right hand pin 90 degrees counterclockwise.
Once the door pins are reset, follow the steps "To reinstall the refrigerator doors".
Drawer is heavy. Use caution when lifting.
Do Not loosen or remove the 3 hex screws.
NOTE: To locate the pin, look inside the drawer and the pin is next to the door liner and the slides. Not all parts are shown in the illustration.
Wear gloves and safety goggles. Use extreme CAUTION when installing these handles.
NOTE: When tightening the Allen set screws, it is important that force be applied to the longer arm of the Allen wrench supplied in the handle packaging.
NOTE: All set screws should be tightened so the screw is below the surface of the handle.
The handles should be drawn tight to freezer and refrigerator doors with no gaps.
Opening the opposite door while tightening the Allen screw makes installation easier. The door handle may loosen over time or if it was installed improperly. If this happens, tighten the set screws on the handles.
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.
To Avoid Property Damage:
Ensure that your water supply line connections comply with all local plumbing codes.
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 5305513409 with a 6 ft. (1.8 meters) Stainless Steel Water Line, and for homes without an existing valve Frigidaire recommends its Smart Choice® water line kit 5305510264 with a 20 ft. (6 meters) Copper Water Line with self-tapping saddle valve. Please refer to www.frigidaire.com/store for more information.
NOTE: These instructions do not cover after market ice maker installation. Instructions in after market ice maker kit should be used.
Your refrigerator's water supply system includes several tubing lines, a water filter, and a water valve. To ensure that your water dispenser works properly, this system must be completely filled with water when your refrigerator is first connected to the household water supply line.

NOTE
While in Sabbath Mode, neither the lights, dispenser, nor the control panel will work until Sabbath Mode is deactivated.
Refrigerator stays in Sabbath Mode after power failure recovery. It must be deactivated with the buttons on the control panel.
NOTE: Although you have entered the Sabbath Mode, the ice maker will complete the cycle it had already initiated. The ice cube compartment will remain cold and new ice cubes can be made with standard trays.
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.
For proper dispenser operation, recommended water supply pressure should fall between 30 psi and 100 psi. Excessive pressure may cause the system to malfunction.
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.
NOTE: Dispensed water is not chilled. For colder water, add ice to cup or container before dispensing water.
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.
In a Standard Depth model, the refrigerator ice maker should produce 3.0 to 3.4 pounds of ice per 24 hours. In a Counter Depth model, the refrigerator ice maker should produce 2.7 to 3.2 pounds of ice per 24 hours.
In a Standard Depth model, the refrigerator ice bin will hold around 5 pounds of ice. In a Counter Depth model, the refrigerator ice bin will hold around 3.7 pounds of ice.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Clean the ice maker and ice bin at regular intervals, especially prior to vacation or moving.
Removing Ice Bin
Remove and empty the ice bin if:
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.
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.
Adjusting Ice Bin Auger
Your refrigerator is equipped with an internal water dispenser mounted inside the cabinet, on the left hand fresh food door.
Hold door with one hand while dispensing water to keep door from moving and possible dispensing water on floor.
For proper dispenser operation, recommended water supply pressure should fall between 30 psi and 100 psi. Excessive pressure may cause the system to malfunction.
Before dispensing water for the first time, be sure to prime the water supply system. If the system is not flushed, the first glasses of water may have discolored water or have an odd flavor.
NOTE: If you prefer to keep the internal water dispenser disabled, use the appliance display to disable it. The LEDs will not be illuminated above WATER DISP.
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.
After the refrigerator is installed properly, the ice maker can produce ice within 24 hours. When using the ice maker for the first time, and in order for it to work properly, it is necessary to clear air from the water tubing and the filter. Furthermore, if the system is not flushed, the first ice cubes may be discolored or have an odd flavor. Once the ice maker begins making ice, allow the bin to fill completely, then discard the first FULL bin of ice.
This ice maker should produce between 2 and 2.5 pounds of ice per 24 hours depending on usage conditions. For a Standard Depth unit, the ice bin should hold around 12 pounds of ice. For a Counter Depth unit, the ice bin should hold around 9 pounds of ice.
NOTE: The ice maker will only produce the advertised production rate if the product is set at 0°F.
Press power button to turn Ice Maker on (button will not illuminate).
NOTE: The Freezer Ice maker fills from the back left-hand corner of the bin. Moving the ice to the edges of the bin allows the bin to fill completely.
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.
Clean the ice maker and ice bin at regular intervals, especially prior to vacation or moving.
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.
NEVER use an ice pick or similar sharp instrument to break up the ice. This could damage the ice bin.
To loosen stuck ice, use warm water. Before replacing the ice bin, make sure it is completely dry.
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 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.
For glass shelves:
Be aware of 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.
Your refrigerator includes a variety of storage drawers.
Crisper drawers are designed for storing fruits, vegetables, and other fresh produce.
Opening Crisper Drawer
Crisper drawers are designed for storing fruits, vegetables, and other fresh produce. Crisper drawers have an auto humidity control on the back of each crisper under the humidity control cover.
Removing Auto Humidity Control Membrane
NOTE: Frigidaire does 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 membrane is dry before replacing in unit.
The crisper drawer ethylene absorbers help to keep food fresher longer in the crisper drawers. See Filter Replacement section for details on how to order replacements.
Remove the produce keeper prior to washing the crisper drawer.

Adjustable Door Bins
The doors to your refrigerator compartment use a system of modular storage bins. All of these bins are removable for easy cleaning. Some of them have fixed positions, while others can be adjusted to your needs.
Door bins are ideal for storing jars, bottles, cans, and large drink containers. They also enable quick selection of frequently used items.
Your freezer has baskets and dividers that can be adjusted to your needs.
Reverse the steps to reinstall the lower freezer basket.
Grab hand hold on lower divider and pull up slightly to slide to next position. (The divider cannot be removed.)
NOTE: Energy efficient foam in your refrigerator is not a sound insulator.
NOTE: During automatic defrost cycle, a red glow in the back wall vents of your freezer compartment is normal.
Features vary by model
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:
The air filter is located at the top of the air tower.
To ensure optimal filtering of refrigerator odors, you should change the air filter every six months (the filter status light on the main controls prompts you to replace the filter after six months).

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.
Do not use electrical appliances inside the food storage compartments of the appliance unless they are of the type recommended by the manufacturer.
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.
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:
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.
To turn off power to your refrigerator you must unplug the power cord from the electrical outlet.
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.
