Installing the Water Line

For Australian and New Zealand installation, read these instructions completely and carefully.

Before You Begin

■IMPORTANT: Government legislation and Codes in most States and Territories of Australia require installation by a licensed plumber. The installation must conform to Australian Standard AS 3500.1 Water supply.

■Water hammer (water banging in the pipes) in house plumbing can cause damage to the 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 refrigerator 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 set to the O position.

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

Shut Off the Main Water Supply

For models fitted with an icemaker, a water supply kit (containing flexible tubing and fittings) is supplied with the refrigerator.

The water pressure must be between 138 and 827 kPa on models without a water filter fitted and between 275 and 827 kPa on models with a water filter fitted.

Turn Off the water and open a low tap to drain the water from the pipe.

Complying with the plumbing codes, install a suitable branch fitting (not supplied) to the cold water supply.

Extend the branch to a suitable location adjacent to the refrigerator when it is located in its operating position. Terminate the branch with a shutoff valve (not supplied).

IMPORTANT: The shut-off valve should be accessible (such as in an adjacent cupboard, as close to the wall as possible) when the refrigerator is in its normal operating position.

If your water supply pressure is higher than 690 kPa during the day (if so, it may reach higher levels at night), install a suitable Pressure limiting valve (not supplied), after the shut-off valve, making sure the “flow arrows” on the body of the device face the same direction as the water flow.

If necessary, assemble a suitable fitting (not supplied) to the up-stream end of the shutoff valve (or pressure limiting valve) for attachment of the fitting supplied with the water supply kit.

NOTE: PTFE tape should be used for a water tight seal when assembling all the above fittings.

Do not turn the water supply On at this time.

21, 23, 25, 27, 29 specifications

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.
