WARNING

Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be pro-

duced in a hot water system that has not been used

for two weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLO-

SIVE. 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 accumulat-

ed hydrogen gas. The gas is flammable. Do not

smoke or use an open flame during this time.

Water Supply Requirements

Water supply faucets must fit standard 3/4 inch [19 mm] female

garden hose couplings. DO NOT USE SLIP-ON OR CLAMP-

ON CONNECTIONS.

NOTE: Water supply faucets should be readily accessi-

ble to permit turning them off when washer is not being

used.

Recommended cold water temperature is 50° to 75° Fahrenheit

[10° to 24° Celsius]. Recommended maximum hot water temper-

ature is 125° Fahrenheit [51° Celsius]. Warm water is a 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.

WARNING

To prevent personal injury, avoid contact with inlet

water temperatures higher than 125° Fahrenheit [51°

Celsius] and hot surfaces.

W748

Water pressure must be a minimum of 20 to a maximum of 120

pounds per square inch [minimum of 138 to a maximum of 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.

Turn on the water supply faucets and flush the lines for approxi-

mately two minutes to remove any foreign materials that could

clog the screens in the water mixing valve. This is especially im-

portant when installing your washer in a newly constructed or

renovated building. Build-up may have occurred during construc-

tion.

Connecting Hoses

1. Insert rubber washers and filter screens (from accessories

bag) in water fill hose couplings (two hoses supplied with

washer). The filter screen must be facing outward.

2. Connect fill hose couplings with filter screens to water supply

faucets.

3. Connect the other hose couplings to the hot and cold valve

connections at the rear of the washer.

4. Thread hose couplings onto valve connections finger tight.

Then turn 1/4 turn with pliers.

IMPORTANT: DO NOT cross thread or overtighten

couplings. This will cause them to leak.

5. Turn water on and check for leaks.

6. If leaks are found, retighten the hose couplings.

7. Continue tightening and rechecking until no leaks are found.
