NOTE

Theseinstallationinstructionsare

provided only as a possible customer

option. Electrolux recommends that

you use a service or kitchen contracting

professional to install your refrigerator.

WARNING

To avoid electric shock, which can cause death or severe personal injury, do not connect your

refrigerator to an electrical power source until you have completed Step 3 of these instructions.

NOTE

Informationaboutcabinetryconstruction

for Electrolux products is available for

contractors.Call1-877-435-3287.

CAUTION

Room temperatures below 55°F

(13°C) or above 110°F (43°C)

will impair cooling ability of your

refrigerator’s compressor.

CAUTION

Shifting the refrigerator from side

to side may damage flooring.

IMPORTANT

If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&Care

Guideformoredetails).

CAUTION

• Shiftingtherefrigeratorfromside

to side may damage flooring.

• Donotblockthetoegrilleon

the lower front of your refriger-

ator. Sufficient air circulation is

essential for proper operation.

Before Installing The Water Supply Line, You Will Need:

 • BasicTools:adjustablewrench,at-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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.

WARNING

To avoid electric shock, which can

cause death or severe personal in-

jury, 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 (6 mm) 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tem-

peratures fall below freezing.

• Do not reuse compression fitting or use thread seal tape.

• Chemicalsfromamalfunctioningsoftenercandamagethe

ice maker. If the ice maker is connected to soft water, en-

sure that the softener is maintained and working properly.
