INSTALLATION

Tools Necessary:

This Use & Care Manual provides general installation and operating instructions for this model. We recommend using a service or kitchen contracting professional to install the refrigerator. Use the appliance only as instructed in this Use & Care Manual. Before starting the appliance, follow these important first steps.

Location

• Choose a place that is near a grounded, non-GFCI, electrical outlet. Do Not use an extension cord or an adapter plug.
• If possible, place the appliance out of direct sunlight and away from the range, dishwasher, or other heat sources.
• The appliance must be installed on a floor that is level and strong enough to support a fully loaded appliance.
• Consider water supply availability for models equipped with an automatic ice maker.

This appliance is intended for use in residential household and similar interior applications such as:

• Kitchen / Kitchenette
• Pantry Room
• Basement
• Enclosed Garage
• Other interior residential type environments

Do Not install the appliance 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 appliance.

Installation
Allow the following clearances for ease of installation, proper air circulation, and plumbing and electrical connections:
Sides & Top ⅜ inch (9.5 mm)
Back 1 inch (25.4 mm)

NOTE
If your appliance is placed with the door hinge side against a wall, you may have to allow additional space for the handle so the door can be opened wider.

Door opening

The appliance should be positioned to allow easy access to a counter when removing food. For best use of refrigerator drawers and freezer baskets, the appliance should be in a position where both can be fully opened.

Cabinet Leveling & Door Alignment (if necessary)

Guidelines for final positioning of appliance:

• All 4 corners of the cabinet must rest firmly on the floor.
• The front should be slightly elevated to ensure that doors close and seal properly.
• Doors should align with each other and be level.

Most of these conditions can be met by raising or lowering the adjustable anti-tip legs.
To level the cabinet using the anti-tip legs:

1. Slightly open freezer drawer.
2. Lower anti-tip legs until they are both touching the floor. Use a pair of pliers to adjust.
   To raise unit: turn leg clockwise.
   To lower unit: turn leg counterclockwise.
   
3. Ensure both doors are bind-free with their seals touching the cabinet on all four sides and the cabinet is stable.

Flipper Mullion

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.

DOOR REMOVAL

Door Handle Mounting Instructions

Mounting Refrigerator Handles

1. Remove handles from carton and any other protective packaging.
2. Position fresh food handle end caps over upper and lower preinstalled shoulder bolts (A) that are fastened into door, ensuring the holes for the set screws are facing toward the opposite door.
3. While holding handle firmly against door, fasten upper and lower Allen set screws (B) with supplied Allen wrench.
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 to install opposite handle. Ensure the holes for the set screws are facing toward the first door.

Mounting Freezer Drawer Handle

5. Position freezer drawer handle end caps over left and right pre-installed shoulder bolts (A) that are fastened to the door, ensuring the holes for the set screws are facing down.
6. While holding handle firmly against door, loosely tighten right Allen set screw (B) with supplied Allen wrench until there is no gap between handle and door.
7. Still holding the handle firmly to the door, firmly tighten left Allen set screw (B) with supplied Allen wrench.
8. Return to the right Allen set screw (B) and firmly tighten with supplied Allen wrench.

NOTE
When tightening the Allen set screws, it is imperative to apply force to the longer arm of the Allen wrench supplied in the handle packaging.
NOTE
Tighten all set screws so the screw is below the surface of the handle. Draw the handles tight to doors/drawer 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.

WATER SUPPLY CONNECTION

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:

• Use Copper or 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 water softener can damage the ice maker. If you use a water softening system, ensure the softener is maintained and working properly.

Ensure the water supply line connections comply with all local plumbing codes.

To install the water supply line, the following are needed:

• Basic Tools: adjustable wrench, flathead screwdriver, and Phillips^TM 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 ice maker inlet valve at the back of the refrigerator to the 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 the 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 local building authority for recommendations on water lines and associated materials prior to installing refrigerator. Depending on local/state building codes, Frigidaire recommends you use Smart Choice^® water line kit 5304437642 with a 6 ft. (1.8 m.) Stainless Steel Water Line on homes with existing valves. Please refer to Frigidaire.com for more information.

To Connect Water Tube to Household Water Supply

NOTE
While in Sabbath Mode, neither the lights nor the appliance control display will work until Sabbath Mode is deactivated.
The refrigerator stays in Sabbath Mode after power failure recovery. Deactivated it with the buttons on the appliance control display.
NOTE
Although the Sabbath Mode has been initiated, the ice maker will complete the cycle it had already started. The ice cube compartment will remain cold and new ice cubes can be made with standard trays.

On occasion, unusually small ice cubes may be noticed in the bucket. This could occur in normal operation of the ice maker. If happening 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 last changing the water filter, replace it with a new one. Poor quality household water may require the filter to be changed more frequently.

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

ICE MAKER

Ice maker tips

• If 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 a large quantity of ice is needed 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 in "Cleaning the ice maker".
• It is normal to have a small quantity of little pieces along with the whole cubes.
• It is normal for ice to fill to the top of the ice bin.

Cleaning the ice maker

Clean the ice maker and ice bin at regular intervals, especially prior to vacation or moving.

1. Turn off the ice maker.
2. Remove the ice bin by lifting upward and pulling straight out.
3. Empty and carefully clean the ice bin with mild detergent. Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaners. Do not place in dishwasher. Rinse with clear 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.

Remove the ice bin by (1) lifting upward and (2) pulling straight out, then 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 bin.
To loosen stuck ice, use warm water. Before replacing the ice bin, make sure it is completely dry.

STORAGE FEATURES

STORING FOOD AND SAVING ENERGY

Ideas for storing foods

Fresh food storage

• Keep the fresh food compartment between 34°F and 44°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 crisper drawers, where trapped moisture helps preserve food quality for longer time periods.
• Do not wash items until ready to use. Remove excess water before placing inside unit.
• 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.

Frozen food storage

• Keep the freezer compartment at 0°F or lower.
• A freezer operates most efficiently when it is at least ⅔ 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, we recommend you activate Freeze Boost to freeze your food faster It will remain active for up to 24 hours
• Activating Freeze Boost will help the 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 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.

NORMAL OPERATING SOUNDS

Understanding the sounds coming from the refrigerator

High-efficiency refrigerators may introduce unfamiliar sounds. These sounds normally indicate the 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 the refrigerator and the sounds they can cause:

1. Evaporator Refrigerant through the evaporator may create a boiling or gurgling sound.
2. Evaporator fan Sounds of air being forced through the refrigerator by the evaporator fan may be heard.
3. Defrost heaters During defrost cycles, water dripping onto the defrost heaters may cause a hissing or sizzling sound. After defrosting, a popping sound may occur.
4. Automatic ice maker When ice has been produced, sounds of ice cubes falling into the ice bin may be heard. The ice maker fan, water valve activation, and refrigerant gas fluid may create sounds from its operation.
5. Electronic control & automatic defrost control These parts can produce a snapping or clicking sound when turning the cooling system on and off.
6. Compressor Modern, high efficiency compressors run much faster than older models. The compressor may have a high pitched hum or pulsating sound.
7. Water valves Make a buzzing sound each time they open to fill the ice maker.
8. Drain pan (not removable) Sounds of water dripping into the drain pan during the defrost cycle may be heard.
9. Condenser May create minimal sounds from forced air.
10. Motorized damper May produce a light humming during operation.

NOTE
Energy efficient foam in the refrigerator is not a sound insulator.
NOTE
During automatic defrost cycle, a red glow in the back wall vents of the freezer compartment is normal.
