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 

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.

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.

Ensure that your water supply line 

connections comply with all local plumbing 

codes.

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.

•  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, ensure that the softener is 

maintained and working properly.

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, Electrolux 

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, Electrolux recommends 

its Smart Choice® water line kit 

5305510264 (with a 20 ft. Copper Water 

Line with self-tapping saddle valve). Please

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 reuse 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.
