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.
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, Frigidaire 
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, Frigidaire recommends its Smart Choice 
water® line kit 5305510264 (with a 20 ft. Copper Water 
Line with self-tapping saddle valve).  Please refer to 
www.frigidaire.com/store for more information.
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.
IMPORTANT
After connecting the water supply, refer to “How to Prime 
the Water Supply System” for important information about 
priming an empty water supply system. 
Your refrigerator’s water supply system includes several tubing 
lines, a water filter, a water valve, and a water tank. To ensure
that your water dispenser works properly, this system must 
be completely filled with water when your refrigerator is first
connected to the household water supply line.
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 (6.4mm) 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.
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 (side 
mounted) or set the ice maker’s On/Off power 
switch  to the “I” position (rear mounted).
