Both hot and cold water supplies are preferable and they should be between 34.5kN/m²(5lb/in²) and 1034.2kN/m² (150lb/in²) pressure. The hose having the red end fitting should be encountered between the hot supply and the threaded connection adjacent to the letter H on the rear of the machine. The hose having the white end fittings should be connected between the cold supply and the threaded connection adjacent to the letter C on the rear of the machine. Remember to insert a sealing washer at each connection to ensure watertight joints. Do not overtighten the connections by using tools
