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 inch 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 the 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:
1. Basic Tools: adjustable wrench, flat-blade
screwdriver, and Phillips
2. Access to a household cold water line with water
pressure between 30 and 100 psi.
3. 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).
4. A shutoff valve to connect the water supply line
to your household water system. DO NOT use a
self-piercing type shutoff valve.
5. Do NOT reuse compression fitting or use thread
seal tape.
6. 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, Electrolux recommends its Smart Choice water® line kit 5305510264 (with a 20 ft. Copper Water Line
with self-tapping saddle valve). Please refer to www.electroluxappliances.com for more information.
Connecting the Water Supply
screwdriver
TM
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 (freezer
ice maker) or set the ice maker's On/Off power
switch to the "On" position (fresh food ice maker).
