Water connection
Connect the cold water intake hose
(blue mark) to the cold water valve and
the hot water intake hose (red mark) to
the hot water valve.
If the machine is being connected to a
cold water supply
only , both the hot
and cold water intake hoses must be
attached to the cold water valve
through the use of a Y adapter
(available at a hardware store). Both
hoses
must be connected to a water
source, or the machine will not function
properly.
Do not connect the washer
to hot water only.
Turn on the valve(s) and check for
leaks. The water pressure must be
within 15-145 psi (1-10 bar). If the water
pressure is greater that 145 psi
(10 bar), a pressure reducer must be
installed. If the water pressure is below
15 psi (1 bar), there will not be enough
water available for a complete fill.
The water intake hoses are equipped
with screen filters. Do not remove these
filters except for cleaning.
Tips for a hot water connection
– The hot water temperature from the
hot water valve must not exceed
140°F; the ideal temperature is
130°F.
If there is no water pressure at the hot
water inlet, the unit automatically
switches to cold water after several
minutes.
