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.

Before Installing The Water Supply Line, You Will Need:
• BasicTools:adjustablewrench,at-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.
• 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.
