CAUTION To Avoid Property Damage: • Use Copper or Stainless Steel braided tubing for the water supply line. Frigidaire does not recommend water supply tubing made of ¼" plastic.

Before Installing The Water Supply Line, You Will Need: • Basic Tools: adjustable wrench, flat-blade screwdriver, and PhillipsTM screwdriver • Access to a household cold water line with water pressure between 30 and 100 psi. • A braided stainless steel water supply line with integral fittings such as Smart Choice® 5304437642 or ¼" copper line with compression fittings. The line must be 6˙ or longer to allow appliance to be moved out for cleaning. • 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 water valve.
