Call 1-877-435-3287.CAUTIONRoom temperatures below 55°F(13°C) or above 110°F (43°C)will impair cooling ability of yourrefrigerator’s compressor.CAUTIONShifting the refrigerator from sideto side may damage flooring.IMPORTANTIf you are installing your refrigerator without connecting it to a water supply,make sure the ice maker’s power switch is turned Off (see the Use & CareGuide for more details).CAUTION• Shifting the refrigerator from sideto side may damage flooring.• Do not block the toe grille onthe lower front of your refriger-ator. Sufficient air circulation isessential for proper operation.4 4Before Installing The Water Supply Line, You Will Need:• Basic Tools: adjustable wrench, flat-blade screwdriver,and PhillipsTM screwdriver• Access to a household cold water line with waterpressure between 30 and 100 psi.• A water supply line made of ¼ inch (6 mm) OD, copperor stainless steel tubing. To determine the length oftubing needed, measure the distance from the ice makerinlet valve at the back ofthe refrigerator to yourcold water pipe. Then addapproximately 7 feet (2.1meters), so the refrigeratorcan be moved out forcleaning (as shown).• A shutoff valve to connectthe water supply line to yourhousehold water system. DONOT use a self-piercing typeshutoff valve.• A compression nutand ferrule (sleeve) forconnecting a copper watersupply line to the ice makerinlet valve.WARNINGTo avoid electric shock, which cancause death or severe personal in-jury, disconnect the refrigerator fromelectrical power before connecting awater supply line to the refrigerator.CAUTIONTo Avoid Property Damage:• Copper or Stainless Steel braided tubing is recommendedfor the water supply line. Water supply tubing made of¼ inch (6 mm) plastic is not recommended to be used.Plastic tubing greatly increases the potential for waterleaks, and the manufacturer will not be responsible forany damage if plastic tubing is used for the supply line.• DO NOT install water supply tubing in areas where tem-peratures fall below freezing.• Do not reuse compression fitting or use thread seal tape.• Chemicals from a malfunctioning softener can damage theice maker. If the ice maker is connected to soft water, en-sure that the softener is maintained and working properly.NOTECheck with your local building authority for recommendations on water lines and associated materials prior toinstalling your new refrigerator. Depending on your local/state building codes, Electrolux recommends for homeswith existing valves its Smart Choice® water line kit 5305513409 (with a 6 ft. Stainless Steel Water Line) and forhomes 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).
