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,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 (6.4 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ttingoruse

thread seal tape.

• A compression nut and ferrule (sleeve) for

connecting a copper water supply line to the

ice maker inlet valve.
