WATER SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS

WARNING

WATER TEMPERATURE

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.

THIS GAS IS FLAMMABLE, DO NOT SMOKE OR USE AN OPEN FLAME DURING THIS TIME.

Water supply faucets must fit standard 3/4 inch (19.05mm) female garden hose couplings.

DO NOT USE SLIP-ON OR CLAMP-ON CONNEC- TIONS.

NOTE:

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

Cold

Recommended cold water temperature is 50 ~ 750F, 10 ~ 23.80C

Hot

Recommended hot water temperature is 135 ~ 1450F, 57 ~ 62.70C

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: Owner should turn off water supply whenever there will be an extended period of non- use.

Water pressure

Do not operate the washer when the water pressure is lower than 0.02 MPa or higher than .8 MPa. to avoid damage of the inlet system.

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.
