Connect Fill Hoses
WARNING
Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in a hot water system that has not been used
for two weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. If the hot water system has not been used for
such a period and before using the washer, turn on
all hot water faucets and let the water flow from each
for several minutes. This will release any accumulated hydrogen gas. The gas is flammable. Do not
smoke or use an open flame during this time.
W029
Maximum flow rate for all water temperatures is 2.5 gallons per
minute [9.46 liters per minute] ± 15%.
Water pressure must be a minimum of 20 to a maximum of 120
pounds per square inch [minimum of 138 to a maximum of 827
kPa] static pressure measured at the faucet.
NOTE: Water pressure under 20 pounds per square
inch [138 kPa] will cause an extended fill time in the
washer and may not properly flush out the detergent
dispenser.
Turn on the water supply faucets and flush the lines for approximately two minutes to remove any foreign materials that could
clog the screens in the water mixing valve. This is especially important when installing your washer in a newly constructed or
renovated building. Build-up may have occurred during construction.
Connecting Hoses
1. Remove the two plain rubber washers and two filter screens
from the accessories bag.
2. Install them into each end of the fill hoses as shown in Figure6 . The screen must be facing outward.
3. Screw hose couplings with the filter screens onto the water
faucets until they are finger-tight. Use the red color-coded
hose for the hot water connection and the blue color-coded
hose for the cold water connection.
4. Then, using a pliers, screw approximately 1/4 turn.
5. Screw hose couplings from other end of hoses onto the water
mixing valve until they are finger-tight. Make sure the red
color-coded hose from the hot water faucet goes to the water
mixing valve marked “H” and the blue color-coded hose from
the cold faucet goes to the valve marked “C”. Refer to Figure
Figure 6 .
6. Then, using a pliers, screw approximately 1/4 turn.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT cross thread or overtighten
couplings. This will cause them to leak.
7. Turn water on and check for leaks.
