Water Supply - GE Monogram Installation Instructions Manual

• A cold water supply is required for icemaker
Water
operation. The water pressure must be
Supply
between 20 and 120 p.s.i.
• Route 1/4" OD copper tubing between
house cold water line and the water connec-
tion location.
• Copper tubing should be long enough to
extend to the back of the ice machine.
Allow enough to accommodate moving unit
forward for service.
Shut off the main water supply.
Turn on the nearest faucet long enough to
clear the line of water.
Install a shut-off valve between the ice ma-
chine water valve and cold water pipe in a
basement or cabinet. The shut-off valve should
be located where it will be easily accessible.
NOTE: It is best to install the valve into a
vertical water pipe. If you install the valve into
a horizontal water pipe, make the connection
at the top or side, rather than at the bottom,
to avoid drawing off any sediment from the
water pipe.
• Drill a 1/4" hole in the water pipe.
• Fasten the shut-off valve to the pipe with
pipe clamp.
• Tighten the clamp screws until the sealing
washer begins to swell. Do not over tighten.
• Place a compression nut and ferrule (sleeve)
onto the end of the tubing and connect it to
the shut-off valve. Make sure the tubing is
fully inserted into the valve and ferrule is
tightened.
• Turn on the main water supply and flush
debris from the line. Run about a quart of
water through the tubing into a bucket. Shut
off water supply at the shut-off valve.
NOTE: Saddle type shut-off valves are in-
cluded in many water supply kits. Before
purchasing, make sure a saddle type valve
complies with your local plumbing codes.
• Install optional water filter in the water line
near the ice machine. A water filter is
recommended in areas where water supply
contains sand or particles. Installation
instructions are packed with the filter.
