In regards to safety, you are advised that:-

The location of this ice maker must allow for easy access to the plug. Only use properly grounded outlets while connecting. The same outlet shouldn’t have any other plugs plugged in. Make sure the plug is completely seated in the outlet.

Avoid running the power wire across carpet or other heat-insulating materials. Avoid concealing the cord. Cord shouldn’t be near busy areas, and it shouldn’t be submerged in water. We do not advise using an extension cord since it could overheat and pose a fire danger.

Before performing any maintenance, cleaning, repairs, or servicing, unplug the Frigidaire Ice Maker from the power source. When using an appliance near kids, take reasonable caution and monitoring.

Your ice maker should not be used outside. A minimum of 6 inches must separate the rear of your device from the wall when placing the ice maker away from direct sunlight. Leave at least 6 inches space on either side of your unit.

When bringing in an ice maker from the outside in the winter, allow it to warm up to temperature of the house for a few hours before plugging it in.

Some of the operating procedures given in the Frigidaire ice maker manual include:-

Check that all the accessories are part of the package after removing the external and interior packing. Contact our customer support if any parts are missing. Take out the auxiliary parts within the equipment after removing all the tapes from it.

Use a gentle cloth and warm water to clean the interior putting your ice maker on a level counter table away from heat sources and sunshine (i.e.: stove, furnace, and radiator). The distance between the back and sides of your ice maker and the wall should be at least 6 inches.

Frigidaire Ice Maker Manual Troubleshooting EFIC235

Below are some situations that may arise when using your Frigidaire ice maker and the possible solutions to the problems.

The “Add Water” indicator lights up – The obvious problem is lack of water. Switch off the ice maker, fill it with water and power it on

“Ice-Full” display lights up – This tells you that there is too much ice. Remove the ice cubes.

“Power” indicator and ICE icon flashing – This alert means that the water temperature inside the inner tank or the surrounding air is too high.

The ice maker is producing ice very slowly – One of the potential causes can be that something has obstructed the hot Air outlet. It must be ensured that the hot air output has a ventilation distance of at least 15 cm.

The inner tank’s water temperature being too high could be another issue. The refrigeration system could have broken down as the final potential problem. Water needs to be between 44.6 and 89.6 degrees Fahrenheit.
