Water Supply Requirements . . .

WARNING

Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in a hot water system that has not been used for two weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. If the hot water system has not been used for such a period and before using the washer, turn on all hot water faucets and let the water flow from each for several minutes. This will release any accumulated hydrogen gas. The gas is flammable, do not smoke or use an

open flame during this time.

NOTE: Water supply faucets must fit standard 3/4 inch (19.1 mm) female garden hose couplings.

DO NOT USE SLIP-ON OR CLAMP-ON CONNECTIONS.

NOTE: Water supply faucets should be readily accessible to permit turning them off when washer is not being used.

Water Temperature

Cold:

Recommended cold water temperature is 60° to 80° Fahrenheit, 16° to 27° Celsius.

Hot:

Recommended hot water temperature is 120° to 140° Fahrenheit, 49° to 60° Celsius.

Warm:

Mixture of hot and cold water. (Warm water temperature is dependent upon the water temperature and the pressure of both the hot and cold water supply lines.)

IMPORTANT: Turn off water supply faucets after check-out and demonstration. Owner should turn off water supply whenever there will be an extended period of non-use.

NOTE: Longer inlet hoses are available (as optional equipment at extra cost) if the hoses (supplied with the washer) are not long enough for the installation. Order hoses as follows:

No. 20617 Inlet Hose (8 foot) (2.44m)

No. 20618 Inlet Hose (10 foot) (3.05m)

Water Pressure

Pressure must be a minimum of 20 to a maximum of 120 pounds per square inch (138 to 827 kPa) static pressure measured at the faucet.

NOTE: Water pressure under 20 pounds per square inch (138 kPa) will cause an extended fill time in the washer and may not properly flush out the detergent dispenser.

Risers

Risers (or air cushions) may have to be installed if the pipes knock or pound when flow of water stops. The risers are more efficient when installed as close as possible to the water supply faucets (see illustration below).
