CONNECTING THE iNLET HOSE
The dryer must be connected to the cold water tap
using the new water supply hose. Do not use old hoses,
NOTE:
• Water supply pressure must be between 21.8 PSI and
116 PSi (]50_800 kPa).
° Do not strip or cross=thread when connecting inlet hose
to the valve,
" If the wafer supply pressure is more than 116 PSI (800
kPa), a pressure reducing valve should be installed.
• Periodically check the condition of the hose and
replace the hose if necessary.
• Replace inlet hoses after 5 years of use to reduce the
risk of hose failure.
• Record hose insta{lation or replacement dotes on the
hoses for future reference.
lo Check the rubber seal in the inlet hose. Two rubber
seals are supplied with each inlet hose. They are used
for preventing water leaks. Make sure the connection
to the cold water tap is tight.
