Cold water supply:

Pressure: 0.14–0.8 MPa (20–120 p.s.i)

°C max. (77°F max.)

Temperature:

Hot water supply:

Pressure: 0.14–0.8 MPa (20–120 p.s.i) Temperature: 49°C—60°C (120°F—140°F)

These water pressures are required to correctly fill the washer in the proper time. Pressures of less than

0.14 MPa may cause a failure in the machine water valve, and it may also not shut of

Do not connect via a cord extension set or electrical portable outlet device.

HOSE CONNECTION

1. Never reuse old hose sets. Insert the rubber hose washer from accessory package into the SAE threaded end of the inlet hose. The SAE threaded end is pointed to by the flow arrow on the hoses. Attach the inlet hoses to the HOT and COLD connections of the water valve on the back of the washer with the flow arrows pointing into the machine. HOT and COLD connections are identified by H & C stamped on the bracket, HOT on top, COLD on bottom. Be sure the hose marked “HOT” is attached to the HOT connection. When connecting the inlet hoses, be sure the hose connections are not cross-threaded on the water valve. Tighten by hand until snug and then two-thirds of a turn with pliers. Do not overtighten as this will strip threads on the water valve.

2. Insert both a rubber hose washer and a screen into the hoses for the tap connections. The dome on the screen strainer must point towards the tap. Attach the inlet hoses to the HOT and COLD taps, being sure the hose marked “HOT” is attached to the HOT tap. NOTE: Accessory inlet hoses are available in various lengths up to 3m (10 ft.).
