Water Supply Connection

CAUTION

If you are using a ﬁlter system you will need

to have at least 20 psi for 3 minutes every 15

minutes.

Connecting the Water Supply

When connecting the water supply, follow these

guidelines:

• Review the local plumbing codes before you

install the unit.

• The water pressure should be between 30

and 120 psi.

• Make certain a SHUT-OFF VALVE is installed

in the 1/4 inch water supply line.

• Connect sufcient tubing to the unit to

allow the unit to be moved for cleaning and

servicing. However, make certain that the

tubing is not pinched or damaged during

installation.

• Electrolux recommends the use of copper

tubing for installation. DO NOT use plastic

water supply line since it may crack or

rupture with age and may cause water

damage to your house.

1 Locate the compression ﬁtting and ferrule

packed in the unit. Slide the compression

ﬁtting and ferrule over the 1/4 inch water

supply line. Do not use thread sealing

compound or tape. Using two wrenches,

tighten the compression ﬁtting on the supply

line (see Figure 6).

2 Carefully bend the water supply line into

position and connect the line to the solenoid

valve. Avoid kinking the water supply line.

3 For recessed installations, allow extra water

supply line length to provide slack for easy

removal from the recessed area (see Figure

8). This will also safeguard against kinking

the line.

4 Plug in the power cord.

5 Gently push the unit into position. If desired

the unit may be recessed into cabinet or wall.

6 Allow at least 1-1/2 inches clearance behind

the unit for electrical, water supply and drain

connections.

CAUTION

After completing the installation, turn on

the water and recheck water and drain

connection for leaks. Apply additional

tightening if needed. Do NOT use thread

sealing compound or tape.
