Water Supply Requirements

WARNING
!
Explosive hydrogen gas may be produced in a hot
water system that has not been used for two weeks
or more. Before using washer, if hot water system
has not been used for such a period, turn on all hot
water faucets and let water flow for several minutes to
release accumulated hydrogen gas. Hydrogen gas is
flammable: do not smoke or use an open flame when
flushing water lines.
Water supply faucets must fit standard 3/4" (19.05 mm)
female garden hose couplings. Do not use slip-on or
clamp-on connections.
NOTE: Water supply faucets should be easily
accessible and turned off after extended use.
Optional longer inlet hoses are available at extra cost, if
hoses supplied with washer are not long enough for
installation. Order hoses as follows:
No. 20617 Inlet Hose, 8 feet (2.44 m)
No. 20618 Inlet Hose, 10 feet (3.05 m)
Water Pressure
Static pressure measured at faucet must be 20–120
pounds per square inch (138 to 827 kPa). Water
pressure under 20 pounds per square inch (138 kPa)
results in extended washer fill time.

Electrical Requirements

Washer requires 120 volt, 15 amp, 60Hz power supply
and 3-prong grounding plug. Refer to serial plate for
specific requirements. Wiring diagram is located in
control hood.
