WATER
To correctly fill your Washer in the proper amount of time, water pressure of 20 – 120 psi is required. Water pressure less than 20 psi may cause water valve failure, not allowing the water valve to shut off completely. Or it may extend the fill time beyond what your Washer controls allow, resulting in your Washer turning off. A time limit is built into the controls in the event of an internal hose becoming loose and flooding your home.
The water faucets must be within 4 feet/122cm of the back of your Washer for the inlet hoses provided with your Washer.
NOTE: Accessory inlet hoses are available in various lengths up to 10 feet/305cm for faucets that are further away from the back of your Washer.
To avoid the possibility of water damage:
•Have water faucets easily accessible
•Turn off faucets when Washer is not in use.
•Periodically check there is no leakage at water inlet hose fittings.
WARNING - CHECK ALL CONNECTIONS AT THE WATER VALVE AND FAUCET FOR LEAKS.
