Installing The Water Line; What You Will Need - Crosley XNE25J Manual Del Propietario E Instrucciones De Instalación

INSTALLING THE WATER LINE

BEFORE YOU BEGIN
If the water supply to the refrigerator is from a
Reverse Osmosis Water Filtration System (RO)
AND the refrigerator also has a water filter, use
the refrigerator's filter bypass plug. Using the
refrigerator's water filtration cartridge in conjunction
with an RO water filter can result in hollow ice cubes.
Some models do not come equipped with the filter
bypass plug. To obtain a free bypass plug, call 800-
GECARES.
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.
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 double
insulated or grounded in a manner to prevent the
hazard of electric shock, or is battery powered.
All installations must be in accordance with local
plumbing code requirements.

Installation Instructions

WHAT YOU WILL NEED

• Copper or SmartConnect™ Refrigerator Tubing kit,
1/4" outer diameter to connect the refrigerator to the
water supply. If using copper, be sure both ends of
the tubing are cut square.
To determine how much tubing you need: measure
the distance from the water valve on the back of the
refrigerator to the water supply pipe. Be sure there is
sufficient extra tubing to allow the refrigerator to move
out from the wall after installation.
SmartConnect™ Refrigerator Tubing Kits are
available in the following lengths:
6' (1.8 m) – WX08X10006
15' (4.6 m) – WX08X10015
25' (7.6 m) – WX08X10025
WARNING
Connect to potable water supply only.
A cold water supply is required for automatic
icemaker operation. The water pressure must be
between 40 and 120 psi (275-827 kilopascals)
