IMPORTANT
Ensure that your water supply line connections comply with all local
plumbing codes.
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, 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.frigidaire.com/store for
more information.
IMPORTANT
After connecting the water supply, refer to “How to Prime the Water
Supply System” for important information about priming an empty
water supply system.
Your refrigerator’s water supply system includes several tubing
lines, a water filter, a water valve, and a water tank. To ensure that
your water dispenser works properly, this system must be completely
filled with water when your refrigerator is first connected to the
household water supply line.
