ICE MAKER NOTE Automatic ice makers are optional accessories that you may install in most models at any time. Visit www.frigidaire.com for information about Ice Maker Kit 117000. If your refrigerator has an automatic ice maker, it will produce minimal ice during the first 24 hours of operation. Air in new plumbing lines may cause the ice maker to cycle 2 or 3 times before making a full tray of ice. With no usage, it will take approximately 1 to 2 days to fill the ice container.
CONTROLS AND SETTINGS 13 Cool Down Period Temperature Adjustment To ensure safe food storage, allow the refrigerator to operate with the doors closed for at least 8 hours before loading it with food. Adjust the temperature gradually: adjust the knob in small increments, allowing the temperature to stabilize. Refrigerator and Freezer Controls (some models) NOTE When first turning the refrigerator on, adjust the control to Recommended. After 24 hours, adjust the controls as needed.
STORAGE FEATURES NOTE A Automatic ice makers are optional accessories that you may install in most models at any time. Visit www.frigidaire.com for information about Ice Maker Kit 117000. Shelf Adjustment CAUTION Do not clean glass shelves or covers with warm water when they are cold. Shelves and covers may break if exposed to sudden temperature changes or impact, such as bumping. Tempered glass is designed to shatter into many small, pebble-size pieces. This is normal.
STORAGE FEATURES 15 Crisper Humidity Control Sliding Deli Drawer (some models) The crisper humidity control, present on the crisper drawers of some models, allows you to adjust the humidity within the crisper.

Please be sure to support the glass when removing the drawer.
