Grounding, Connecting to the Water Faucet

GROUNDING

This appliance must be grounded. In the event of malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for electric current. This appliance is equipped with a power cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

WARNINGS

-Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified or service representative or personnel if you are in doubt as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.

-Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance: if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

CONNECTING TO THE WATER FAUCET

Please read the following steps carefully (Fig.3, Fig.4)

1.Connect the gray end of the hoses supplied to the faucet (Fig.3).

2.Connect two pressure-reducing valves [2] to each inlet valve [1] (see Fig.4). Note: Cold water hookup is needed for drying (Ventless models only).

3.Connect the white end of hoses to the pressure-reducing valve at the appropriate inlet valve (marked “H” or “C”) (Fig.4).

CONNECTING THE DRAIN HOSE

Connect the drain hose to a drain duct (with internal diameter of at least 1.6 inches) or place it for drainage in to a sink or a tub, ensuring that there are no kinks or bends. The free end must be at a height of 28”-36” from the floor, the hose can be held in place using the black plastic clamp on the upper part of the back panel (Fig.4)
