CONNECTING THE WATER LINES

vIMPORTANT: Use new hoses when installing the washer. Do NOT reuse old hoses.

vWater supply pressure must be between 14.5 psi and 142 psi (100 – 980 kPa) . If the water supply pressure is more than 142 psi, a pressure reducing valve must be installed.

vPeriodically check the hose for cracks, leaks, and wear, and replace the hose if necessary.

vMake sure that the water lines are not stretched, pinched, crushed, or kinked.

vThe washer should never be installed or stored in a location subject to freezing temperatures. Damage to the water lines and internal mechanisms of the washer can result. If the washer was exposed to freezing temperatures prior to installation, allow it to stand at room temperature for several hours before use and check for leaks prior

to operation.

vFor optimal wash performance, the hot water temperature should be set at 120°-135°F (48-57°C) and the cold water at 60°F (15°C).

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

3.Always run a gallon or two of water through each of the water lines. Doing so will help prevent future

NOTE: When installing the hoses onto the water inlet valves, be careful not to cross-thread the hose

DO NOT overtighten the hoses; this could cause damage to internal components, the valve or the hose gasket. Overtightening could result in property damage from leaks.
