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
J
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.)

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).
