CONNECTING THE 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.

• A shutoff valve to connect the water supply line to your household water system. Do not use a self-piercing type shutoff valve.

• Do not re-use 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.

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 the 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

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

(6.4 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).



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

AUTOMATIC ICE & WATER DISPENSER

Priming the Water Supply

System

Your refrigerator’s water supply system includes several tubing lines, an advanced water filter, and a distribution valve bank to ensure ample supply to the ice and water dispenser at all times. This system needs to be completely filled with water when first connected to an external supply line.

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:

1 Begin filling the system by pressing and holding a drinking glass against the water dispenser paddle.

2 Keep the glass in this position until water comes out of the dispenser. It may take

about 1½ minutes.

3 Continue dispensing water for about four minutes to flush the system and plumbing connections of any impurities (stopping to empty the glass as necessary).



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.

Ice Maker Operation & Care

The ice maker, ice bin, and dispenser feeding mechanism 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 produce ice within 24 hours. It can completely fill an ice bin in about two days.

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.

Using the Ice Maker 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 be discolored or have an odd flavor.

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 (0) position (rear mounted). If the ice maker

is not turned off and the water supply is not connected, the water valve will

make a loud chattering noise.

Ice Maker/Dispenser Tips

• Ice cubes stored too long may develop an odd flavor. Empty the ice container as explained below.

• Occasionally shake the ice container to keep ice separated.

• If your refrigerator is not connected to a water supply or the water supply is turned off, turn Off the ice maker.

• If you need a large quantity of ice at one time, it is best to get cubes directly from the ice container.

• The following sounds are normal when the ice maker is operating:

- Motor running

- Ice dropping into ice container

- Water valve opening or closing

- Ice loosening from tray

- Running water

• When dispensing ice, you will hear a snapping or clicking sound when the ice chute opens and closes.

• To avoid splashing, dispense ice into your container before adding liquids.

• It is normal for ice to fill to the top of the ice bin.

• Turn Off the ice maker when cleaning the freezer and during vacations.

- If you turn Off the ice maker for a long period of time, you should also turn off the water supply valve.

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.

CAUTION

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

AUTOMATIC ICE & WATER DISPENSER

Cleaning the Ice Maker

Clean the ice maker and ice bin at regular intervals, particularly before you take a vacation or move.

To clean the ice maker:

1 Turn Off the ice maker.

2 Remove the ice bin by lifting up and out.

3 Empty and carefully clean the ice bin with mild detergent. Rinse with clear water. Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaners.

4 Allow the ice bin to dry completely before replacing in the freezer.

5 Remove ice chips and clean the ice bin shelf and the freezer door chute.

6 Replace the ice bin. Turn On the ice maker to resume ice production.

Remove and empty the ice storage bin if:

• An extended power failure (one hour or longer) causes ice cubes in the ice storage bin to melt and freeze together, jamming the dispenser mechanism.

• You do not use the ice dispenser frequently.

Ice cubes will freeze together in the bin, jamming the dispenser mechanism.

Remove the ice storage bin and shake to loosen the cubes or clean as explained above.

Auger

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.

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 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 only dispense Crushed Ice. The freezer door may also not close properly causing warm air to leak into the freezer.

CHANGING THE FILTER

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.

Air Filter (some models)

The air filter is located at the top of the fresh food compartment next to the water filter.

Replacing the Air Filter

In general, you should change the air filter every six months (the filter status light on the control panel prompts you to replace the filter after six months) to ensure optimal filtering of refrigerator odors. You may want to adjust this time period depending on the types and amounts of food you typically store in your refrigerator. To replace your

PureSource Ultra

TM

air filter:

1 Pull the air filter housing straight out.

2 Remove the old filter and discard it.

3 Unpack the new filter and place it inside the housing.

4 Slide the housing back into position.

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 Ultra
