WARNING

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.

CAUTION

To Avoid Property Damage:

• Copper or stainless steel braided tubing is recommended for the water supply line. Water supply tubing made of 14 ” plastic is not recommended to be used. 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 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 14 inch (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 feet (2.1 meters), so the refrigerator can be moved out for cleaning (as shown).
• A shutoff valve to connect the water supply line to your household water system. DO NOT use a self-piercing type shutoff valve.
• 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, Electrolux recommends for homes with existing valves its Smart Choice water line kit 5305513409 (with a 6 ft. stainless steel water line) and for homes without an existing valve, Electrolux recommends its Smart Choice water line kit 5304410264 (with a 20 ft. copper water line with self-tapping saddle valve). Please refer to www.CROSLEY.com/store for more information.

To Connect Water Supply Line To Ice Maker Inlet Valve

1 Disconnect refrigerator from electric power source.
2 Place end of water supply line into sink or bucket. Turn ON water supply and flush supply line until water is clear. Turn OFF water supply at shutoff valve.

3 Remove plastic cap from water valve inlet and discard cap.

4 If you use copper tubing - Slide brass compression nut, then ferrule (sleeve) onto water supply line. Push water supply line into water valve inlet as far as it will go (¼ inch/6.4 mm). Slide ferrule (sleeve) into valve inlet and finger tighten compression nut onto valve. Tighten another half turn with a wrench; DO NOT over tighten. See Figure 1.

If you use stainless steel tubing - The nut and ferrule are already assembled on the tubing. Slide compression nut onto valve inlet and finger tighten compression nut onto valve. Tighten another half turn with a wrench; DO NOT over tighten. See Figure 2.

5 With steel clamp and screw, secure water supply line (copper tubing only) to rear panel of refrigerator as shown.

6 Coil excess water supply line (copper tubing only) about 2½ turns behind refrigerator as shown and arrange coils so they do not vibrate or wear against any other surface.

7 Turn ON water supply at shutoff valve and tighten any connections that leak.

8 Reconnect refrigerator to electrical power source.

9 To turn ice maker on, lower wire signal arm (side mounted) or set the ice maker's ON/OFF power switch to the "I" position (rear mounted).

HOW TO PRIME THE WATER SUPPLY SYSTEM

Your refrigerator's water supply system includes several tubing lines, a water filter, a water valve and a water tank. 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 and whenever you replace the water filter.

CAUTION

For proper dispenser operation, recommended water supply pressure should fall between 30 psi and 100 psi. Excessive pressure may cause water filter to malfunction.

TO PRIME THE WATER SUPPLY SYSTEM:

• Begin filling the tank by pressing and holding a drinking glass against the water dispenser paddle.
• Keep the glass in this position until water comes out of the dispenser. There will be noticeable spurts and sputters as the system pushes air out through the system and dispenser nozzle. This is normal. This may take about 1½ minutes.
• Continue dispensing water for about 3 minutes to flush the system of any air and impurities. Empty glass as needed.

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.

HOW THE ICE MAKER WORKS

CAUTION

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

Your ice maker is shipped from the factory with the wire signal arm in the ON position (side mounted) or with the switch turned ON (rear mounted). To ensure proper function of your ice maker, hook up water supply immediately or turn ice maker OFF by lifting the wire signal arm until it clicks and locks in the UP position (side mounted) or turn the On/Off switch to the Off (O) position. If the ice maker is not turned off and the water supply is not connected, the water valve will make a loud chattering noise.

The ice maker and container are located in the top of the freezer compartment. After the refrigerator is installed properly and has cooled for several hours, the ice maker can begin

making ice within 24 hours. Air in new plumbing lines may cause the ice maker to cycle two or three times before making a full tray of ice. With no usage, it will take approximately two days to fill the ice container.

Because of new plumbing connections, the first production of ice cubes may be discolored or have an odd flavor. Discard ice made during the first 24 hours.

To begin ice production, lower the wire signal arm to the DOWN or ON position. The ice maker turns off automatically when the ice container becomes full. To stop the ice maker, raise the wire signal arm until it clicks and locks in the UP or OFF position (see Figure 1).

TURNING YOUR REAR MOUNTED ICE MAKER ON/OFF

Ice production is controlled by the ice maker's ON/OFF power switch. To gain access to the ice maker, pull the ice cream shelf out. Press the switch to the "O" position to turn it Off and press it to the "I" position to turn it On (see Figure 2). The ice maker also has a built-in wire signal arm, which automatically stops ice production when the ice bin is full. DO NOT use this signal arm to manually stop the ice maker.

IMPORTANT

Small Ice cubes or ice chips jamming in the ice maker may be a sign that your water filter needs changing. If you have a side mounted ice maker you may also experience hollow cubes — partially frozen cubes with water inside. When these cubes are harvested they break open and spill water over the other ice cubes in the ice container, forming a solid mass of ice. 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. The ice maker can't fill every cube in the ice maker mold, leading to small cubes or chips that can get caught between the ice ejector blades and the stripper. Remember, if your ice maker is jamming with small ice cubes or 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.

ICE PRODUCTION: WHAT TO EXPECT

How Much Ice Will a Side Mounted Ice Maker Produce in 24 Hours?

A side mounted ice maker will produce 4 to 4.5 pounds of ice every 24 hours, depending on usage conditions. Ice is produced at a rate of 8 cubes every 75 to 90 minutes.

How Much Ice Will a Rear Mounted Ice Maker Produce in 24 Hours?

A rear mounted ice maker will produce 3 to 4 pounds of ice every 24 hours, depending on usage conditions. Ice is produced at a rate of 8 cubes every 75 to 90 minutes.

ICE AND WATER DISPENSER FEATURES

The ice and water dispenser conveniently dispenses chilled water, and ice cubes or crushed ice, depending on the model.

To operate the ice dispenser, select the ice option desired using the touchpad. Press a glass against the dispensing paddle as far up as possible to catch all ice. To stop dispensing ice, pull glass away from dispensing paddle. Do not remove the glass until the ice has completely dispensed. Complete instructions for the dispenser operation are attached to the inside of the freezer door (some models).

CAUTION

If the dispensing paddle is pushed for more than four minutes, the dispenser motor may overload and stop. The overload protector will reset automatically after three or four minutes.

ICE DISPENSER TIPS

• Ice cubes stored too long may develop an odd flavor. Empty the ice container and ensure that the ice maker is on (see previous page). The ice maker will then produce more ice.
• Occasionally shake the ice container to keep ice separated.
• If a large quantity of ice is needed at one time, it is best to remove cubes directly from the ice container.
• Stop the ice maker when cleaning the freezer and during vacations.
• If the ice maker will be turned off for a long period of time, turn the water supply valve to a closed position.

CLEANING THE ICE DISPENSER

Clean the ice dispenser and ice container at regular intervals, particularly before you take a vacation or move, or if the ice dispenser sticks.

- Stop ice production on side-mounted ice maker by raising wire signal arm to the UP position. Stop ice production on rear-mounted ice makers by pressing the ice maker's On/Off power switch to the Off (O) position.

• Remove ice container by lifting up and out. Empty and carefully clean the container with mild detergent. Rinse with clear water. Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaners. Allow ice container to dry completely before replacing in the freezer.
• Remove ice chips and clean the shelf and chute that supports the ice container.
• Replace the ice container. Resume ice production on side-mounted ice makers by lowering the wire signal arm to the DOWN position. Resume ice production on rear-mounted ice makers by pressing the ice maker's On/Off power switch to the On (I) position.

WARNING

Do not use the ice chute as a handle when removing or replacing the ice storage bin. Surfaces there may be sharp. Do not put fingers up ice chute. Surfaces there may be sharp.

Illustration of a hand holding a prohibition symbol over a wall-mounted device (no text or symbols present)

Auger

IMPORTANT

When removing or replacing the ice bin, DO NOT rotate the auger in the ice bin. If the auger is accidentally rotated, you must realign the auger by turning it in 90° turns 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 only dispense Crushed Ice. The freezer door may also not close properly causing warm air to leak into the freezer.

• An extended power failure (one hour or longer) causes ice cubes in the ice storage bin to melt and freeze together and jam the dispenser mechanism.
• The ice dispenser is not used frequently. Ice cubes will freeze together in the bin and jam the dispenser mechanism. Remove the ice storage bin and shake to loosen the cubes.

CAUTION

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

PURESOURCE 3™ ICE AND WATER FRONT FILTER (SOME MODELS)

LOCATING THE FILTER

Your refrigerator is equipped with a water filtering system. The water filter system filters all dispensed drinking water, as well as the water used to produce ice.

WATER FILTER

The water filter is located at the top right side of the fresh food compartment.

REPLACING THE WATER FILTER

In general, you should change the water filter every six months to ensure the highest possible water quality. Water Filter Status on the user interface prompts you to replace the filter after a standard amount of water (200 gallons/757 liters for PureSource 3 ^™ ) has flowed through the system.

If your refrigerator has not been used for a period of time (during moving for example), change the filter before reinstalling the refrigerator.

Filter Cartridge

ORDERING REPLACEMENT FILTERS

To order your replacement filters, please visit our online store at www.frigidaire.com/store, by calling toll-free at 877-808-4195, or by visiting the dealer where you purchased your refrigerator. Electrolux recommends that you order extra filters when you first install your refrigerator, and that you replace your filters at least once every six months.

Here are the product numbers to request when ordering:

9 Press and hold the Water Filter button on the Ice & Water Dispenser control panel for three seconds. When the display changes from "Red" to "Green," the status has been reset.

Food StorAGE IdEAS

Fresh Food Storage

• The fresh food compartment should be kept between 34°F and 40°F with an optimum temperature of 37°F.
• Avoid overcrowding the refrigerator shelves. This reduces the circulation of air around the food and results in uneven cooling.

Fruits and Vegetables

- Storage in the crisper drawers traps moisture to help preserve the fruit and vegetable quality for longer time periods.

Meat

- Raw meat and poultry should be wrapped securely so leakage and contamination of other foods or surfaces does not occur.

Frozen Food Storage

• The freezer compartment should be kept at 0^ F or lower.
- A freezer operates most efficiently when it is at least 2/3 full.

Packaging Foods for Freezing

- To minimize 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

• 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 the packages, so cold air can circulate freely, allowing food to freeze as quickly as possible.
• Avoid storing hard-to-freeze foods such as ice cream and orange juice on the freezer door shelves. These foods are best stored in the freezer interior where the temperature varies less.

ENERGY SAvING IdEAS

- 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 lay between the two appliances will help operate more efficiently.

• Level the refrigerator so that the doors close tightly.

• Refer to this Use & Care Manual for the suggested temperature control settings.

- Do not overcrowd the refrigerator or block 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.

uNdErStANdING tHE SouNdS You mAY HEAr

Your new high-efficiency refrigerator may make unfamiliar sounds. These are all normal sounds and soon will become familiar to you. They also indicate your refrigerator is operating as designed. Hard surfaces, such as vinyl or wood floors, walls, and kitchen cabinets may make sounds more noticeable. Listed below are descriptions of some of the most common sounds you may hear, and what is causing them.

NotE

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

Technical diagram of an appliance refrigerator with labeled components and zoomed-in insets for assembly or maintenance.

A. Evaporator

The flow of 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.

ImPortANt

During the automatic defrost cycle, you may notice a red glow in the vents on the back wall of your freezer compartment. This is normal during the defrost cycle.

D. Automatic Ice Maker

If your refrigerator is equipped with an automatic ice maker, you will hear ice cubes falling into the ice bin.

E. Cold Control & Automatic Defrost Control

These parts can produce a snapping or clicking sound when turning the refrigerator on and off.

F. Condenser Fan

You may hear air being forced through the condenser by the condenser fan.

G. Compressor

Modern, high-efficiency compressors operate much faster than older models. The compressor may have a high-pitched hum or pulsating sound.

H. Water Valve

If your refrigerator is equipped with an automatic ice maker, you will hear a buzzing sound as the water valve opens to fill the ice maker during each cycle.

ImPortANt

Your ice maker is turned On at the factory so it can work as soon as you install your refrigerator. To ensure proper function of your ice maker, connect a water supply immediately or turn the Ice maker off by lifting the wire signal arm to the "up" or OFF position (side mounted) or the ice maker's On/Off power switch turned Off-set to the "o" position (rear mounted).

I. Drain Pan (not removable)

You may hear water running 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.

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

NOTE

Do not use abrasive cleaners such as window sprays, scouring cleansers, 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, scouring pads, or other abrasive cleaning materials.

• Never use metallic scouring pads, brushes, abrasive cleaners or strong alkaline solutions on any surface.
• 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.

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.

• 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.

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.
• Damp objects stick to cold metal surfaces. Do not touch refrigerated surfaces with wet or damp hands.

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.

Refer to the guide on the next page for details on caring and cleaning specific areas of your refrigerator.
