ICE SERVICE
If your freezer has an automatic icemaker, it will provide a sufficient supply of ice for normal use. During the initial startup of your freezer, however, no ice will be produced during the first 24 hours of operation.
Automatic ice makers are also optional accessories that may be installed in some models at any time. Call your local dealer for information.
Turning Your Ice Maker On
After the plumbing connections have been completed, the water supply valve must be opened. Place the ice container under the ice maker, pushing it as far back as possible. Lower the wire signal arm to its “down” or ON position. New plumbing connections may cause the first production of ice cubes to be discolored or have an odd flavor. These first cubes should be discarded until the

7.Turn ON water supply at shutoff valve and tighten any connections that leak.
8.Reconnect freezer to electrical power source.
9.To turn ice maker on, lower wire signal arm (side mounted) or set the ice maker’s On/Off power switch to the “I” position (rear mounted).
NOTE
Check with your local building authority for recommendations on water lines and associated materials prior to installing your new freezer. Depending on your local/state building codes, Frigidaire 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 5305510264 (with a 20 ft. Copper Water Line with selftapping saddle valve). Please refer to http://frigidaire.stores.yahoo.net for more information.
cubes produced are free of discoloration and taste.
Turning Your Ice Maker Off
To stop the ice maker, lift the wire signal arm until it clicks and locks in the “up” or OFF position. The ice maker also turns off automatically when the ice container is full. If your model has an adjustable freezer shelf, place the shelf in the lower position, so that the wire signal arm will hit the ice when the container is full.
Ice Maker Tips
•If the ice maker will be turned off for a long period of time, turn the water supply valve to the closed position.
•Ice cubes stored too long may develop an odd flavor. Empty the ice container and ensure that the wire signal arm is in its “down” or ON position. The ice maker will then produce more ice.
•Occasionally shake the ice container to keep ice separated.
•Keep the wire signal arm in its “up” or OFF position until the freezer is connected to the water supply or whenever the water supply is turned off.
•The following sounds are normal when the ice maker is operating:
•Motor running
•Ice loosening from tray
•Ice dropping into ice container
•Running water
•Water valve opening or closing
