2 Connect Water Supply
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.
To avoid electric shock,
• A water supply line made of ¼ inch (6 mm) OD, copper
which can cause death
or braided, flexible stainless steel tubing. To determine
or severe personal

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.
WARNING
CAUTION
To Avoid Property Damage:
• Copper or Stainless Steel braided, flexible tubing is recommended for
the water supply line. Water supply tubing made of ¼ inch (6 mm)
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 reuse compression fitting or use thread seal tape.
• 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.
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).
Slide ferrule (sleeve) into valve inlet and finger
tighten nut onto valve. Tighten another half
turn with a wrench; DO NOT overtighten. 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 overtighten. 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 set the ice maker’s On/
Off power switch to the “ON” position (fresh
food ice maker).

Guidelines for final positioning of your refrigerator
• All four corners of the cabinet must rest firmly on the floor.
• The sides should tilt ¼ inch (6 mm) from front to
back (to ensure that doors close and seal properly).
• Doors should align with each other and be level.
To level the cabinet using the front rollers:
1 You can raise or lower each door. Use a 3/8 inch socket
wrench to turn the adjustment screws (1 per side).
To raise: turn adjustment screw clockwise.
To lower: turn adjustment screw counterclockwise.
2 Ensure both doors are bind-free with their seals
touching the cabinet on all four sides and that cabinet
is stable.
3 After unit is leveled, lower anti-tip leg until it contacts
the floor.
Frigidaire uses packing foam and tape to secure the internal parts of your refrigerator for
