Special Installation Instructions for Australia and New Zealand.

Installing the Water Line (cont.)

Connecting the Tubing to the Shutoff Valve

Attach the fitting with the male thread supplied with the water supply kit to the shutoff valve (or pressure limiting valve, if fitted), and tighten.

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

Route the tubing through a hole drilled in the side of the cupboard as close to the wall as possible.

Make sure there is sufficient length of tubing [approximately 240 cm coiled into 3 turns of approximately 25 cm] to allow the refrigerator to move out from the wall after installation.

Insert and push the end of the tubing into the fitting as far as possible.

With the free end of the tubing located in a suitable container, turn the main water supply

On and flush out the tubing until the water is clear.

Turn Off the shutoff valve after approximately 1 litre of water has been flushed through the tubing.

Connecting the Tubing to the Refrigerator

Before making the connection to the refrigerator, be sure the power is turned OFF and the power cord is disconnected from the Power Outlet.

If your refrigerator does not include a water filter, we recommend installing one in the water line near the refrigerator if your water supply has sand or particles that could clog the screen of the refrigerator’s water valve.

Remove the refrigerator access cover.

Remove the plastic flexible cap from the water valve (refrigerator connection).

Attach the fitting with the female thread supplied with the water supply kit to the water valve and tighten.

Insert and push the end of the tubing into the fitting as far as possible.

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

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.
