How do I turn the ice maker on or off?
Press and hold the Ice Maker button on the control panel for 3 seconds to turn the ice maker on or off. When the indicator is lit, the ice maker is on; when it is off, the ice maker off indicator will be lit. Turning off the ice maker simply disables ice making — you will still be able to dispense existing ice and water. (Page 16)
2
How often should I replace the water filter, and how do I reset the indicator?
You should change the water filter every 6 months or after dispensing 125 gallons (453 L) of water to ensure the highest possible water quality. To replace it, turn off the ice maker, push on the face of the filter to release it, slide out the old cartridge, and push in the new one until it clicks into place. After replacing, press and hold the Water Filter reset button for 3 seconds until the display changes from red to green. (Page 23)

What should I do if the digital temperature display is flashing?
Flashing digital temperature displays indicate that the electronic control system has detected a performance problem. You should call your Frigidaire service representative, who can interpret any messages or number codes flashing on the digital displays. (Page 31)

What does the High Temp alarm mean and what should I do?
The High Temp alarm activates when the internal temperature of the refrigerator rises and stays above the safe temperature zone for a period of time, displaying 'HI' on the corresponding compartment display with an alarm sounding every 10 seconds. The refrigerator will automatically try to cool down to improve the condition. If the temperature has not cooled after some time and the warning reappears, call 1-800-374-4432. (Page 18)
5
How do I prime the water supply system when first installing the refrigerator?
Press and hold a drinking glass against the water dispenser paddle until water comes out, which may take about 1½ minutes — water will sputter until all air is purged from the water lines. Continue dispensing water for about 4 minutes to flush the system and plumbing connections of any impurities, stopping to empty the glass as necessary. (Page 19)
6
What are the electrical requirements for this refrigerator?
The appliance must be plugged into its own dedicated 115 Volt, 60 Hz, 15 Amp, AC only electrical outlet with a properly grounded 3-prong receptacle. Do not use an extension cord or adapter plug, and avoid connecting the unit to a Ground Fault Interrupter (GFI) circuit. Operating the appliance with insufficient power (voltage varying by 10% or more) can damage the compressor, and such damage is not covered under the warranty. (Page 5)

Automatic Ice And Water Dispenser
Priming the water supply system Ice maker operation & care After you properly install the refrigerator and it has cooled for several hours, the ice maker can produce ice within 24 hours. The ice maker will fill the ice bin from the rear. You must dispense some ice to force the ice forward in the bin. This will allow the bin to fill completely.Ice
Water
Crush Door Open High Temp Replace Water Filter Replace Air Filter Dispenser (varies by model)Caution
For proper dispenser operation, the recommended water supply pressure should fall between 30 psi and 100 psi. Excessive pressure may cause the sys- tem to malfunction. Turning the ice maker on Ice production is controlled by the ice maker's On/Off feature on the control panel. Pressing and holding the On/Off button toggles the ice maker On/Off.Note
Dispensed water is not chilled. For colder water, add ice to cup or contain- er before dispensing water.Note
The ice maker also has a built-in plastic signal arm that automatically stops ice production when the ice bin is full. Do not use this signal arm to manually stop the ice maker.Note
The water dispenser has a built-in de- vice that shuts off the water flow after 3 minutes of continuous use. To reset this shutoff device, simply release the dispenser paddle.Important
Turning off the ice maker simply dis- ables ice making. You will still be able to dispense existing ice, and you will still be able to dispense water. Page 20
20 Ice Maker/Dispenser Tips • Ice cubes stored too long may develop an odd flavor. Empty the ice container as explained in Cleaning the Ice Storage Bin. • 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:
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 main- tained to work properly.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.Automatic Ice And Water Dispenser
AugerImportant
When removing or replacing the ice storage bin, avoid rotating the auger in the ice storage bin. If the auger is accidentally rotated, you must realign the auger by turning it in 45 degree turns (see below) until the ice storage bin fits into place with the drive mechanism If the auger is not properly aligned when replacing the ice storage bin, the refrigerator will not dis- pense ice. The freezer door also may not close properly causing warm air to leak into the freezer compartment. Page 21

22 Normal Operating Sounds
Understanding the Sounds you may Hear Your new, high-efficiency unit may intro- duce unfamiliar sounds. These sounds normally indicate your appliance is oper- ating correctly. Some surfaces on floors, walls, and kitchen cabinets may make these sounds more noticeable. Following is a list of major components in your unit and the sounds they can cause: A Evaporator Refrigerant through the evaporator may create a boiling or gurgling sound.B
Evaporator fan You may hear air be- ing 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. D Condenser fan You may hear air be- ing forced through the condenser.E
Water valve Makes a buzzing sound each time it opens to fill the ice maker.F
Drain pan (not removable) You may hear water dripping into the drain pan during the defrost cycle. G Condenser May create minimal sounds from forced air.H
Motorized damper May produce in- termittent humming during operation.I
Ice chute When dispensing ice, you will hear a snapping or clicking sound when the solenoid opens and closes the ice chute.J
