Instructions.

GE Appliances strongly recommends the use of factory specified parts. A list of factory hoses available for
purchase are listed. These hoses are manufactured and tested to meet GE Appliances specifications.
GE Appliances strongly recommends the use of new water supply hoses. Hoses degrade over time and need
to be replaced every 5 years to reduce the risk of hose failures and water damage.
WHEN NOT IN USE
Turn off water faucets to minimize leakage if a break or rupture should occur. Check the condition of the fill
hoses; GE Appliances recommends changing the hoses every 5 years.
