wrapping material immediately after
the refrigerator is unpacked. Children
should never play with these items.
Child Entrapment and Suffocation:
• These problems are not limited to the
past. Whether junked, abandoned,
or temporarily stored (even for a few
hours), unattended refrigerators and
freezers are dangerous. Please take
the precautions listed below.
Proper Disposal of Refrigerators/
Freezers
We strongly encourage responsible
appliance recycling/disposal methods.
Check with your utility company or visit
www.energystar.gov/recycle for more
information on recycling your old refrigerator.
Before you recycle or dispose of your
old refrigerator/freezer:
• Remove the doors.
• Leave the shelves and baskets in place
so children may not easily climb inside.
• Have refrigerant and compressor oil
removed by a qualified service technician.

• The refrigerator must be plugged into
its own dedicated 115 Volt, 60 Hz,
AC-only non-GFCI 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.
• 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.
• To avoid electrical shock, unplug the
refrigerator before cleaning and before
replacing a LED light.
• 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.

6Installation
This Use & Care Guide provides general
installation and operating instructions
for your model. We recommend using a
service or kitchen contracting professional
to install your refrigerator. 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, non-GFCI, 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.
Installation
• Allow the following clearances for ease
of installation, proper air circulation,
and plumbing and electrical
connections:

The compressor will not be able to
maintain proper temperatures inside the
refrigerator.
DO NOT block the toe grille on the lower
front of your refrigerator. Sufficient air
circulation is essential for the proper
operation of your refrigerator.
NOTE
If your refrigerator is placed with the
door hinge against a wall, you may have
to allow additional space so the door
can be opened wider.

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

Cabinet Leveling &
Refrigerator Door Align-
ment (if necessary)
Guidelines for final positioning of your
refrigerator:
• All four corners of the cabinet must
rest firmly on the floor.
• The front should be slightly elevated
to ensure that doors close and seal
properly.
• Doors should align with each other
and be level.
Most of these conditions can be met by
raising or lowering the adjustable front
rollers.

3 Ensure both doors are bind-free with
their seals touching the cabinet on all
four sides and that cabinet is stable.
4 After unit is leveled, lower anti-tip leg
using a 3/8 inch socket wrench until
it firmly contacts the floor.
5 Install the toe grille by fitting into place.
To level the cabinet using the front rollers:
1 Slightly open freezer drawer if the toe
grill is installed. Lift the toe grille and
gently pull forward.

bolts (B) that are fastened into door, ensuring the holes for the set screws are facing
towards the opposite door.
3. While holding handle firmly against door, fasten upper and lower Allen set screws
(C) with supplied Allen wrench.
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 to install opposite handle. Ensure the holes for the set screws
are facing towards the first door.

are fastened to the drawer, ensuring the holes for the set screws are facing down.
6. While holding handle firmly against drawer, fasten left and right Allen set screws (C)
with supplied Allen wrench.

16 Connecting the Water Supply
WARNING
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.
IMPORTANT
Ensure that your water supply line
connections comply with all local
plumbing codes.
CAUTION
To Avoid Property Damage:
• Copper or Stainless Steel braided
tubing is recommended for the
water supply line. Water supply
tubing made of ¼ inch 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. 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. (1.8 meters) Stainless Steel Water
Line and for homes without an existing
valve, Electrolux recommends its Smart
Choice® water line kit 5305510264 with
a 20 ft. (6 meters) Copper Water Line
with self-tapping saddle valve). Please
refer to www.electroluxappliances.com
for more information.
Before installing the water supply line,
you will need:
1. Basic Tools: adjustable wrench,
flat-blade screwdriver, and PhillipsTM
screwdriver
2. Access to a household cold water
line with water pressure between 30
and 100 psi.
3. A water supply line made of ¼ inch
(6.4 mm) 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.
4. A shutoff valve to connect the water
supply line to your household water
system.
5. Do NOT reuse compression fitting or
use thread seal tape.
6. A compression nut and ferrule
(sleeve) for connecting a copper
water supply line to the ice maker
inlet valve.

17
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 1.
If you use braided flexible stainless
steel tubing - The nut is already
assembled on the tubing. Slide nut
onto valve inlet and finger tighten 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 2½ turns, 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 (freezer ice maker) or use
the digital control setting to turn the
ice maker’s On/Off switch to the On
position (fresh food ice maker).
