CONNECTING THE WATER LINES

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

IMPORTANT: Use ONLY the inlet hoses provided with this washer. Aftermarket hoses are not guaranteed to fit or function correctly. Other hoses may not tighten correctly and could cause leaks. Subsequent damage to product or property will not be covered under the terms of the product warranty.

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.

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

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

The 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.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

3.Always run a gallon or two of water through each inlet hose to flush dirt, scale and other debris out of the water lines. Doing so will help prevent future problems with clogged filter screens, and will also allow you to verify which hose is hot and which is cold.

2.Connect the water supply hoses to the HOT and COLD water faucets tightly by hand and then tighten another ⅔ turn with pliers.

4.Attach the (red) hot water line to the hot water inlet on the back of the washer. Attach the (blue) cold water line to the cold water inlet on the back of the washer. Tighten the fittings securely.

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