Safety Information - GE PXRQ400T Owner's Manual & Installation Instructions

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE
Read, understand, and follow all safety information contained in these instructions prior to installation and use of the GE
Appliances Reverse Osmosis system. Retain these instructions for future reference.
Intended use:
The GE Appliances Reverse Osmosis system is intended for use in filtering potable water in Residential applications,
and has not been evaluated for other uses. The system is typically installed at the point of use, and must be installed as
specified in the installation instructions. Contact a plumbing professional if you are uncertain how to install.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Be sure the water supply conforms with the Specification Guidelines. If the water supply conditions are unknown,
contact your municipal water company or your local health department for a list of contaminants in your area and a list
of laboratories certified by your state to analyze drinking water.
WARNING
To reduce the risk associated with choking:
■ Do not allow children under 3 years of age to have access to small parts during the installation of this product.
WARNING
To reduce the risk associated with the ingestion of contaminants:
■ Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before
or after the system. Systems certified for cyst reduction may be used on disinfected water that may contain
filterable cysts.
WARNING
■ For Indoor Use Only.
■ Connect only to a circuit that is protected by a ground-fault circuit-interrupter (GFCI).
■ Risk of Electric Shock. Disconnect power before servicing.
■ If Connection Is Made To A Potable Water System, The System Shall Be Protected Against Backflow.
This system has been tested for the treatment of water containing pentavalent arsenic (also known as As(V), As(+5) or arsenate)
at concentrations of 0.050 mg/L or less. This system reduces pentavalent arsenic, but may not remove other forms of arsenic.
This system is to be used on water supplies containing a detectable free chlorine residual or on water supplies that have been
demonstrated to contain only pentavalent arsenic. Treatment with chloramine (combined chlorine) is not sufficient to ensure complete
conversion of trivalent arsenic to pentavalent arsenic. Please see the Arsenic Facts section of the Performance Data Sheet for further
information.
This reverse osmosis system contains a replaceable component critical to efficiency of the system. Replacement of the reverse
osmosis component should be with one of identical specifications, as defined by the manufacturer, to assure the same efficiency and
contaminant reduction performance.
