Priming the water supply system
For proper dispenser operation, the recommended water supply pressure should fall between 30 psi and 100 psi. Excessive pressure may cause the system to malfunction.
NOTE
Dispensed water is not chilled. For colder water, add ice to cup or container before dispensing water.
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.
Turning the ice maker on
To turn the ice maker on, press the ice maker's On/Off power switch, located on the front of the ice maker, so the LED is steadily illuminated.
Turning off the ice maker simply disables ice making. You will still be able to dispense existing ice, and you will still be able to dispense 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.
Ice Maker/Dispenser Tips
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.
Cleaning the Ice Storage Bin
Clean the ice storage bin at regular intervals, particularly before you take a vacation or move.
To clean the ice storage bin:
Remove and empty the ice storage bin if:
Remove the ice storage bin and shake to loosen the cubes or clean as explained above.
NEVER use an ice pick or similar sharp instrument to break up the ice. This could damage the ice storage bin and dispenser mechanism.
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 dispense ice. The freezer door also may not close properly causing warm air to leak into the freezer compartment.
Glass shelves
Shelves are easily adjusted to suit individual needs. Before adjusting the shelves, remove all food. Shelves are supported by side rails. See "Glass Shelves" in CARE AND CLEANING for proper shelf removal.
Door storage
Door bins and shelves are provided for convenient storage of jars, bottles, and cans. You can quickly select frequently used items.
Some models have door bins that can accommodate gallon-sized plastic drink containers and economy-sized jars and containers. Some bins are adjustable for maximum storage capacity. The dairy compartment, which is warmer than the general food storage section, is intended for short term storage of cheese, spreads, or butter.
Crispers
Crispers allow you the flexibility to store any manner of items including fruits, vegetables, nuts, etc. Crispers do not feature humidity controls.
Deli Drawer (some models)
Some models are equipped with a Deli Drawer for storing luncheon meats, spreads, cheeses and other deli items. This drawer does not have a separate temperature control.
Understanding the Sounds you may Hear
Your new, high-efficiency unit may introduce unfamiliar sounds. These sounds normally indicate your appliance is operating 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:

*For the complete list, please see Performance Data Sheet on Frigidaire.com
Replacing the Water Filter
The water filter is located at the top right side of the refrigerator compartment. In general, you should change the water filter every 6 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 (125 gal/453 L for PurePour™) has flowed through the system.
If you have not used your refrigerator for a period of time (during moving for example), change the filter before reinstalling the refrigerator.
Ordering Replacement Filters

Air Filter (some models)
Some models are pre-loaded with an air filter located at the top of the fresh food compartment, next to the water filter. Replacing the Air Filter You should change your air filter every 6 months (the filter status light on the control panel prompts you to replace the filter after 6 months) to optimize the reduction of refrigerator odors. Different foods will emit various levels of odor. To install your new FRGPAAF1 PureAirTM AF-1 air filter:
Damper/Air Filter Housing
In humid regions certain products stored too close to the damper/air filter housing may freeze. If this scenario occurs, adjust the fresh food temperature settings and reconfigure the top shelf storage to allow for proper air diffusion.
Protecting your investment
Keeping your appliance clean maintains appearance and prevents odor build-up. Wipe up any spills immediately and clean the freezer and refrigerator compartments at least twice a year. When cleaning, take the following precautions:
Do not use abrasive cleaners such as window sprays, scouring cleansers, brushes, 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, metallic scouring pads, or other abrasive cleaning materials or strong alkaline solutions.
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.
If you store or move your unit in freezing temperatures, be sure to completely drain the water supply system. Failure to do so could result in water leaks when you put the unit back into service. Contact a service representative to perform this operation.
