14 Connecting Water Supply To Freezer Check with your local building authority for recommendations on water lines and associated materials prior to installing your new freezer. 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 selftapping saddle valve). Please refer to www.electroluxicon.com for more information. 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 A. 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 B. 5. With steel clamp and screw, secure water supply line (copper tubing only) to rear panel of freezer as shown. 6. Coil excess water supply line (copper tubing only), about 2½ turns, behind freezer 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 freezer 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).
