PROPER INSTALLATION ThisHouseholdWaterFiltrationSystemmustbe properlyinstatedand locatedin accordancewith theInstallationInstructionsbefore# is used. • Checkwith yourlocal public works departmentfor plumbingcodes.Youmustfollow the#guides as you install the HouseholdWater FiltrationSystem. • Do not install on HOT WATER.The temperature of the water supply to the Household Filtration Systenl must be between the minimum of 40°F and the maximum of 100°F. See the Spocification Guidolinos. • Usethe HouseholdWater FiltrationSystemon a potable, safe-to-drink,home COLDwater supplyonly. Thefilter cartridgewill not purify water or make unsafewater safe to drink.DONOT use on HOT water (IOO°Fmax). • Protectthe HouseholdWater FiltrationSystemand piping fromfreezing. Water freezingin the systemwill damageit. • YourHouseholdWaterFiltrationSystemwill withstandup to 125psi water pressure.If yourhousewater supplypressure is higherthan 100psi duringthe day (it may reach higher levels at night),install a pressure-reducingvalvebeforethe systemis installed. • Do not install the Household _4_ter Filtration System using copper solder fittings. The heat from the soldering process will damage the unit. |[/I/ARNHVG: Discard all unused parts and packaging material after installation. Small parts remaining after installation could be a choke hazard. • Do not install filter in an outside location it will be exposed to sunlight. or anysvhere Optionalaccessoriesare available(Visa,MasterCardor Discover cardsaccepted)by visiting our Websiteat www.GEAppliances.com or from PartsandAccessories800.626.2002(U.S.)or 800.663.6060(Canada). • If unit is to be installed on plastic, PVC, or galvanized plumbing, separate hardware must be purchased.
