Water Line Installation - GE 20 Owner's Manual

Installing the water line.
Read these instructions completely and carefully.
Before You Begin
This water line installation is not warranted by the
refrigerator or icemaker manufacturer. Follow these
instructions carefully to minimize the risk of expensive
water damage.
Water hammer (water banging in the pipes) in house
plumbing can cause damage to 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 product 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 feeler arm is kept in the STOP (up)
position.
Do not install the icemaker tubing in areas where
temperatures fall below freezing.
When using any electrical device (such as a power drill)
during installation, be sure the device is insulated or wired
in a manner to prevent the hazard of electric shock.
All installations must be in accordance with local plumbing
code requirements.
