WARNING-------------------------------
• Do not overtighten the hoses. Overtightening can
damage the valves resulting in leaking and property
damage.
5 Check for leaks by turning on the faucets.
- If water leaks, check steps 1 to 4 again.
O NOTE----------------------------
Periodically check the hoses for cracks, leaks and wear,
and replace the hoses every 5 years.
Do not stretch, crush or kink the hoses when moving
or installing the washer.
Water supply pressure must be between 14.5 PSI and
116 PSI (100-800 kPa). If the water supply pressure is
more than 116 PSI, a pressure reducing valve must be
installed.
To provide optimum washing performance, the hot
water temperature should be set at 120-135°F (48-57°C)
and the cold at 60°F (15°C).
After connecting inlet hoses to water faucets, turn on the
water faucets to flush out foreign substances (dirt, sand
or sawdust) in the water lines. Let water drain into a
bucket, and check the water temperature.
