CONNECTING THE WATER SUPPLY

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 water

softener can damage the ice maker. If your

home has a water softening system, ensure the

softener is maintained and working properly.

IMPORTANT

Ensure that your water supply line connections comply

with all local plumbing codes.

Before Installing The Water Supply Line, You Will

Need:

• Basic Tools: adjustable wrench, flat-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 (6.4 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 re-use 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.
