Cartons covered with rugs, bedspreads, plastic sheets or stretch wrap may become airtight chambers, and can quickly cause suffocation.

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.

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 qualified service technician.

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 qualified electrician. Avoid connecting refrigerator to a Ground Fault Interruptor (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.

• Never unplug the refrigerator by pulling on the power cord. Always grip the plug firmly, 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 insufficient 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.

IMPORTANT

Pressing and holding the On/Off button for 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.

CONNECTING WATER SUPPLY

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 inch 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 water softener can damage the ice maker. If your home has a water softening system, ensure 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 TM 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 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.

ELECTRONIC TEMPERATURE CONTROLS

ALLOWING COOLING TIME BEFORE USE

To ensure safe food storage, allow your refrigerator to operate with the doors closed for at least 8 to 12 hours before placing food inside.

During this cooling period, you do not need to adjust the controls, which are preset at the factory.

SETTING COOLING TEMPERATURES

Your refrigerator comes with a state-of-the-art electronic digital control system. The system’s control panel is located at the top of the fresh food compartment.

The two digital displays on the left half of the control panel indicate the current settings or temperatures of your freezer and fresh food compartments. The models with a 2-digit temperature display are for reference only, and do not display the current accurate compartment temperature. Should you desire to see what the current accurate temperature is, place a separate thermometer inside the freezer or fresh food compartment in the desired location.

(Single Digit Display - Features may vary)

NOTE

The advanced electronic control system in your refrigerator includes additional display modes that service professionals can use to rapidly diagnose performance issues.

To adjust the temperature to a higher or lower setting, press the Up

(Cold) or Down (Colder) button closest to the display. The first time you press the button, the display shows current setting you entered.

Each press of the button after that changes the setting by one.

The display shows your new setting momentarily, and then changes back to the current temperature.

AUTOMATIC ICE & WATER DISPENSER

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

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.

TURNING YOUR SIDE MOUNTED ICE MAKER ON/OFF

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.

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

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 touch pad. 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).

• 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.

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.

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 90º 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.

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 TM ) 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.

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:

FOOD STORAGE & ENERGY-SAVING IDEAS

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 layer of insulation between the two appliances will help the refrigerator 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.
