IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

For your Safety

• DO NOT store or use gasoline, or other

ammableliquidsinthevicinityofthisor

any other appliance. Read product labels

forwarningsregardingammability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

appliances or furniture.

WARNING

Please read all instructions before using this

refrigerator.

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.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Grounding type

wall receptacle

Do not, under

any circumstances,

cut, remove,

or bypass the

grounding prong.

Power cord with

3-prong gounded plug

Electrical information

• The refrigerator must be plugged into its

own dedicated 115 Volt, 60 Hz., 15 Amp,

AC only electrical outlet. The power cord of

theapplianceisequippedwithathree-

prong grounding plug for your protection

against electrical shock hazards. It must be

plugged directly into a properly grounded

three prong receptacle. The receptacle

must be installed in accordance with local

codesandordinances.Consultaqualied

electrician. Avoid connecting refrigerator to

a Ground Fault Interrupter (GFI) circuit. Do

not use an extension cord or adapter plug.

• If the power cord is damaged, it should

be replaced by an authorized service

technician to prevent any risk.

WARNING

These guidelines must be followed to ensure

that safety mechanisms in this refrigerator

will operate properly.

IMPORTANT

Pressing and holding the On/Off button

for three (3) seconds, located on the left

side of the temperature control panel

(Electronic controls), or turning the Freezer

and Fresh Food controls to “0” (Mechanical

controls) will disable your refrigerator’s

cooling system, but does not disconnect the

power to the light bulb and other electrical

components. To turn off power to your

refrigerator you must unplug the power cord

from the electrical outlet.

CAUTION

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.

• Never unplug the refrigerator by pulling on

thepowercord.Alwaysgriptheplugrmly,

and pull straight out from the receptacle to

prevent damaging the power cord.

• Unplug the refrigerator before cleaning

and before replacing a light bulb to avoid

electrical shock.

• Performance may be affected if the voltage

varies by 10% or more. Operating the

refrigeratorwithinsufcientpowercan

damage the compressor. Such damage is

not covered under your warranty.

• Do not plug the unit into an electrical outlet

controlled by a wall switch or pull cord to

prevent the refrigerator from being turned

off accidentally.

Proper Disposal of your

Refrigerator or Freezer

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.recyclemyoldfridge.com 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

qualiedservice

technician.

ThisUse&CareManualprovidesspecic

operating instructions for your model. Use the

refrigerator only as instructed in this Use & Care

Manual. Before starting the refrigerator,

follow these important rst steps.

Location

• Choose a place that is near a grounded

electrical outlet. Do Not use an extension

cord or an adapter plug.

• If possible, place the refrigerator out of

direct sunlight and away from the range,

dishwasher or other heat sources.

• Therefrigeratormustbeinstalledonaoor

that is level and strong enough to support

a fully loaded refrigerator.

• Consider water supply availability for models

equippedwithanautomaticicemaker.

Installation

Installation Clearances

• Allow the following clearances for ease

of installation, proper air circulation, and

plumbing and electrical connections:

Sides & Top 3/8”

Back 1”

Raise

Adjustable

Front

Roller

(some

models)

Door Opening

Your refrigerator should be positioned to allow

easy access to a counter when removing food.

Leveling

All four corners of your refrigerator must rest

rmlyonasolidoor.Yourrefrigeratoris

equippedwithadjustablefrontrollersorfront

leveling screws to help level your unit.

To Level Your Refrigerator:

1. Remove toe grille.

2. Useat-blade

screwdriver

or 3/8” socket

wrench to adjust

front rollers.

Use adjustable

wrench to adjust

leveling screws.

INSTALLATION

To make this possible, the direction in which

the doors open can be reversed. See Door

Removal & Reversal Instructions.

CAUTION

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.

Do Not block the toe grille on the lower front

ofyourrefrigerator.Sufcientaircirculation

is essential for the proper operation of your

refrigerator.

IMPORTANT

If you install your refrigerator in a garage or

other unheated area, you may experience

freezer temperature problems during the winter

months when temperatures dip below 55° F.

Upgrading your refrigerator with a Garage

Kit will lower the minimum operating

temperature of your unit to 34° F. This

kit can be ordered through the Electrolux

Solutions Hotline (see back cover).

NOTE

If you see black coils/tubing on the back

of your refrigerator (air-cooled condenser)

leave 3” clearance at top of refrigerator.

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.

NOTE

Raise the front of the refrigerator enough so

the doors close freely when opened halfway.

The refrigerator should slope ¼” to ½” from

front to back. Then level the refrigerator

from side to side.

Before Installing The Water Supply Line, You

Will Need:

• Basic Tools: adjustablewrench,at-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 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).

CONNECTING WATER SUPPLY

• 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.

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 ¼” 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.

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, Frigidaire

recommends its Smart Choice water line

kit 5304410264 (with a 20 ft. copper water

line with self-tapping saddle valve). Please

refer to www.frigidaire.com/store for more

information.
