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.
IMPORTANT
Ensure that your water supply line
connections comply with all local
plumbing codes.
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.
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 6ft.
(1.8 meters) Stainless Steel Water Line
and for homes without an existing
valve, Electrolux recommends its Smart
Choice® water line kit 5305510264 with
a 20 ft. (6 meters) Copper Water Line
with self-tapping saddle valve. Please
refer to www.electroluxappliances.com
for more information.
Connecting the Water Supply
Before installing the water supply line,
you will need:
• Basic Tools: adjustable wrench,
flat-blade screwdriver, and Phillips
TM
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 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.
• Do not reuse compression fitting or
use thread seal tape.
• A compression nut and ferrule (sleeve)
for connecting a copper water supply
line to the ice maker inlet valve.
