GE Monogram GXSF30H Water Dispenser User Manual


 
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Check and comply with your state and local
codes. You must follow these guidelines.
Use care when handling the water softening
system. Do not turn upside down, drop, drag
or set on sharp protrusions.
Water softening systems using sodium chloride
(salt) for recharge add sodium to the water.
Persons on sodium restricted diets should consider
the added sodium as part of their overall intake.
Potassium chloride can be used as an alternative
to sodium chloride in your softener.
The water softening system works on 24 volt-60 Hz
electrical power only. Be sure to use only the
included transformer.
Transformer must be plugged into an indoor
120 volt, grounded outlet only.
Use clean water softening salts only, at least
99.5% pure. NUGGET, PELLET or coarse
SOLAR salts are recommended. Do not use rock,
block, granulated or ice cream making salts.
They contain dirt and sediments, or mush and
cake, and will create maintenance problems.
Keep the salt hole cover in place on the softener
unless servicing the unit or refilling with salt.
WARNING: Do not use with water that is
microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality
without adequate disinfection before or after
the system.
READ AND FOLLOW THIS SAFETY INFORMATION CAREFULLY.

PROPER INSTALLATION
Install or store where it will not be exposed to
temperatures below freezing or exposed to any
type of weather. Water freezing in the system will
break it. Do not attempt to treat water over 100°F.
Do not install in direct sunlight. Excessive sun or
heat may cause distortion or other damage to
non-metallic parts.
Properly ground to conform with all governing
codes and ordinances.
Use only lead-free solder and flux for all sweat-
solder connections, as required by state and
federal codes.
The water softening system requires a minimum
water flow of three gallons per minute at the inlet.
Maximum allowable inlet water pressure is 125 psi.
If daytime pressure is over 80 psi, nighttime
pressure may exceed the maximum. Use a pressure
reducing valve to reduce the flow if necessary.
Softener resins may degrade in the presence
of chlorine above 1 ppm. If you have chlorine
in excess of this amount, you may experience
reduced life of the resin. In these conditions,
you may wish to consider purchasing a GE
point-of-entry household filtration system with
a chlorine reducing filter.
WARNING: Discard all unused parts
and packaging material after installation.
Small parts remaining after the installation
could be a choke hazard.
This water softening system must be properly installed and located in accordance with the Installation
Instructions before it is used.
