Safety

EHectrical

The refrigerator must be plugged into its own dedicated 115 Volt, 60 Hz., AC-only electric outlet. The power cord of the appliance is equipped with a three-prong grounding plug for your protection against electrical shock hazards. It must be plugged directly into a properly grounded three-prong receptacle. The receptacle must be installed in

accordance with local codes and ordinances. Consult a qualified electrician. Do not use an

extension cord or adapter plug.

If the power cord is damaged, it should be replaced by the manufacturer, service technician or a qualified person to prevent any risk.

Grounding type wall receptacle

Do not, under

any circunstances,

CUt, remove, or bypass the

grounding prong.

Power cord with 3-prong grounded plug

Never unplug the refrigerator by pulling on the power cord. Always grip the plug firmly, and pull straight out from the receptacle to prevent damaging the power cord.

Unplug the refrigerator before cleaning and before replacing a light bulb to avoid

electrical shock.

Performance may be affected if the voltage varies by 10% or more. Operating the refrigerator with insufficient power can damage the compressor. Such damage is not covered under your warranty.

Do not plug the unit into an outlet controlled by a wall switch or pull cord to prevent the refrigerator from being turned off accidentally.

Avoid connecting refrigerator to a Ground

Fault Interrupter (GFI) circuit.

Installation

This Use & Care Guide provides general operating instructions for your model. Use the refrigerator only as instructed in this Use & Care Guide. Before starting the refrigerator, follow these important first steps.

Location

Choose a place that is near a grounded electrical outlet. Do Not use an extension

cord or an adapter plug.

If possible, place the refrigerator out of

direct sunlight and away from the range, dishwasher or other heat sources.

The refrigerator must be installed on a floor that is level and strong enough to support a fully loaded refrigerator.

Consider water supply availability for models equipped with an automatic ice maker.

Guidelines for final positioning of your refrigerator:

= All four corners of the cabinet must rest firmly

on the floor. The cabinet should be level at the front

and rear. The sides should tilt 1A-inch (6 mm) from front

to back (to ensure that doors close and seal properly).

Doors should align with each other and be level.

All of these conditions can be met by raising or lowering the adjustable front

rollers.

To level the cabinet using the front rollers:

1 Open both doors and remove the toe grille by

gently pulling forward (see illustration).

2 Close the doors and use a flat-blade

screwdriver or 3/8-inch socket wrench to raise or lower the front rollers.

3 Ensure both doors are bind-free with their

seals touching the cabinet on all four sides.

Installation

Installation Clearances

= Allow the following clearances for ease

of installation, proper air circulation, and plumbing and electrical connections:

Sides & Top 3/8" Back 1"

Door Opening

Your refrigerator should be positioned to allow easy access to a counter when removing food. For best use of drawers and freezer baskets, the refrigerator should be in a position where both the refrigerator and freezer doors can be fully opened.

Installation

NOTE: Level the unit with the adjustable rollers before leveling the doors.

To level the doors using the adjustable lower hinge (some models):

1 Ifthe refrigerator door is lower than

the freezer door, raise the refrigerator door by turning the adjustment screw counterclockwise using a 7/16inch wrench. (See illustration.)

If the freezer door is lower than the refrigerator door, raise the freezer

door by turning the adjustment screw counterclockwise using a 7/16inch wrench. (See illustration.)

Raise: Raise

After leveling, verify door stop contacts lower hinge and top of door does not contact upper hinge through full movement of door (from fully closed to fully open).

Connecting The Water Supply

WARNING NOTE

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.

CAUTION

To Avoid Property Damage: = Copper or Stainless Steel braided tubing

is recommended for the water supply line. Water supply tubing made of _Ainch 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 softener can damage the ice maker, if the ice maker is connected to soft water, ensure that 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 TM screwdriver Access to a household cold water line with

water pressure between 30 and 100 psi. A water supply line made of _,4inch (6.4mm)

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.

,, A compression nut and ferrule (sleeve) for

connecting a copper water supply line to the ice maker inlet valve.

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 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 (_,4inch/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.

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 2.

5. With steel clamp and screw, secure water supply line (copper tubing only) to rear panel of refrigerator as shown.

6. Coil excess water supply line (copper tubing only), about 2t,2turns, behind refrigerator 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 refrigerator 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 "r' position (rear mounted).
