Installing the Water Line, Before YOU Begin

Installation Instructions

INSTALLING THE WATER LINE

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

The water line installation is not warranted by the refrigerator or icemaker manufacturer. Follow these recommendations carefully to minimize the risk of expensive water damage.

Water hammer (water banging in the pipes) in house plumbing can cause damage to refrigerator parts and lead to water leakage or flooding. Call a qualified plumber to correct water hammer before installing the water supply line to the refrigerator.

To prevent burns and product damage, do not hook up the water line to the hot water line.

If you use your refrigerator before connecting the water line, make sure the icemaker power switch is in the O (off) position.

Do not install the icemaker tubing in areas where temperatures fall below freezing.

When using any electrical device (such as a power drill) during installation, be sure the device is insulated or wired in a manner to prevent the hazard of electric shock.

All installations must be in accordance with local plumbing code requirements.

Installation of the icemaker must be done by a qualified service technician.

WARNING! Connect to potable water supply only.

1CONNECT THE TUBING TO THE REFRIGERATOR

NOTES:

•Before making the connection to the refrigerator, be sure the refrigerator power cord is not plugged into the wall outlet.

•We recommend installing a water filter if your water supply has sand or particles that could clog the screen of the refrigerator’s water valve. Install it in the water line near the refrigerator.

1CONNECT THE TUBING TO THE REFRIGERATOR (CONT.)

Some models have the refrigerator connection

at the end of tubing located outside the compressor compartment access cover. On other models, the compressor compartment access cover must be removed in order to access the refrigerator connection at the water valve.

On models using the refrigeration connection at the water valve, remove the plastic flexible cap.

Place the compression nut and ferrule (sleeve) onto the end of the tubing as shown.

Insert the end of the tubing into the water valve connection as far as possible. While holding the tubing, tighten the fitting.

Fasten the tubing into the clamp provided to hold it in a vertical position. You may need to pry open the clamp.

One of the illustrations below will look like the connection on your icemaker.

The GE 21, 23, 25, 27, and 29 series of locomotives represent a significant evolution in diesel-electric technology, showcasing General Electric's commitment to innovation and performance in the rail industry. These models, produced from the late 20th century to the early 21st century, are designed to meet a variety of operational needs.

The GE 21, introduced in the early 1990s, was notable for its efficiency and reliability. It utilized a 12-cylinder engine coupled with GE's innovative software systems, allowing for enhanced fuel economy and lower emissions. The locomotive's modular design enabled easy maintenance, which was a significant advantage for rail operators looking to minimize downtime.

Moving to the GE 23, this model offered increased power and improved traction systems, reflecting the industry's demand for stronger and faster trains. With an upgraded traction control system, the GE 23 provided better performance on challenging grades and under various load conditions. Its spacious cab and ergonomic controls also emphasized operator comfort and productivity.

The GE 25 built upon the successes of its predecessors, featuring advanced microprocessor controls and a more robust engine. This model was designed with higher horsepower, making it suitable for heavy freight operations. The GE 25’s aerodynamic design reduced drag, enhancing fuel efficiency during long hauls. Additionally, the locomotive included state-of-the-art diagnostic systems, allowing for real-time monitoring of performance metrics.

In the evolution of these series, the GE 27 introduced even more technological advancements, including improved lightweight materials and enhanced safety features. This model could accommodate various cargo types and was compatible with modern signaling systems, making it versatile for different rail networks. The GE 27 was designed with sustainability in mind, further reducing emissions and adhering to stricter environmental regulations.

Finally, the GE 29 series marked a major leap forward with the integration of cutting-edge digital technology. These locomotives featured predictive maintenance capabilities, allowing operators to foresee potential mechanical issues before they resulted in failures. The GE 29 series also placed a strong emphasis on energy efficiency, incorporating regenerative braking systems that harness energy during braking for reuse.

Overall, the GE 21, 23, 25, 27, and 29 locomotives reflect General Electric’s ability to innovate continually, combining power, efficiency, and advanced technology to meet the changing demands of the rail industry. Each model brought unique features and improvements, ultimately enhancing the performance and reliability of rail freight services.
