CONNECTING HOUSEHOLD WATER SUPPLY TO REfRIGERATOR

WARNING

To avoid electric shock, which can cause death or

severe personal injury, disconnect the refrigerator from

electrical power before connecting a water supply line

to the refrigerator.

CAUTION

To Avoid Property Damage:

• Copper or stainless steel braided tubing is recommended

for the water supply line. Water supply tubing made of ¼"

plastic is not recommended to be used. Plastic tubing

greatly increases the potential for water leaks, and the

manufacturer will not be responsible for any damage if

plastic tubing is used for supply line.

• DO NOT install water supply tubing in areas where

temperatures fall below freezing.

• Chemicals from a malfunctioning softener can

damage the ice maker. If the ice maker is connected

to soft water, ensure that the softener is maintained

and working properly.

IMPORTANT

Ensure that your water supply line connections comply with all

local plumbing codes.

Before Installing The Water Supply Line, You Will Need:

• Basic Tools: adjustable wrench, flat-blade screwdriver,

and Phillips

screwdriver.

• Access to a household cold water line with water

pressure between 30 and 100 psi.

• A water supply line made of ¼ inch (6.4 mm) OD, copper

or stainless steel tubing. To determine the length of tubing

needed, measure the distance from the ice maker inlet

valve at the back of the refrigerator to your cold water

pipe. Then add approximately 7 feet (2.1 meters), so the

refrigerator can be moved out for cleaning (as shown).

• A shutoff valve to connect the water supply line to your

household water system. DO NOT use a self-piercing

type shutoff valve.

• A compression nut and ferrule (sleeve) for connecting a

copper water supply line to the ice maker inlet valve.

NOTE

Check with your local building authority for recommendations

on water lines and associated materials prior to installing your

new refrigerator. Depending on your local/state building codes,

Electrolux 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 5304410264 (with

a 20 ft. copper water line with self-tapping saddle valve). Please

refer to www.frigidaire.com/store for more information.

To Connect Water Supply Line To Ice Maker Inlet Valve

1 Disconnect refrigerator from electric power source.

2 Place end of water supply line into sink or bucket. Turn

ON water supply and flush supply line until water is clear.

Turn OFF water supply at shutoff valve.

3 Remove plastic cap from water valve inlet and discard cap.

4 If you use copper tubing - Slide brass compression nut,

then ferrule (sleeve) onto water supply line. Push water

supply line into water valve inlet as far as it will go (¼

inch/6.4 mm). Slide ferrule (sleeve) into valve inlet and

finger tighten compression nut onto valve. Tighten another

half turn with a wrench; DO NOT over tighten. See Figure 1.

If you use stainless steel tubing - The nut and ferrule

are already assembled on the tubing. Slide compression

nut onto valve inlet and finger tighten compression nut

onto valve. Tighten another half turn with a wrench; DO

NOT over tighten. See Figure 2.

5 With steel clamp and screw, secure water supply line

(copper tubing only) to rear panel of refrigerator as shown.

6 Coil excess water supply line (copper tubing only) about

2½ turns behind refrigerator as shown and arrange coils

so they do not vibrate or wear against any other surface.

7 Turn ON water supply at shutoff valve and tighten any

connections that leak.

8 Reconnect refrigerator 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).
