Water
To correctly fill your Washer in the proper amount of time, water pressure of 20 to 116psi (137 to 800kPa) is required.
Water pressure less than 20 psi may cause water valve failure, or may not allow the water valve to shut off completely, or may extend the fill time beyond what your Washer controls allow, causing your Washer to turn off. A time limit is built into the controls to prevent flooding in your home if a hose becomes loose.
The water faucets must be within 4 feet / 122 cm of the back of your Washer to match the inlet hoses provided with your Washer.
Accessory inlet hoses are available in various lengths up to 10 feet / 275 cm for faucets that are further away from the back of your Washer.
To avoid the possibility of water damage:
•Have water faucets easily accessible
• Turn off faucets when the washer is not in use.
•Periodically check that there is no leakage from the water inlet hose fittings.
WARNING CHECK ALL CONNECTIONS AT THE WATER VALVE AND FAUCET FOR LEAKS.
