12 INSTALLATION
NOTE
• Periodically check the hoses for cracks, leaks,
and wear, and replace the hoses every five years.
• Do not stretch the water hoses intentionally, and
make sure that they are not pinched, crushed or
kinked by other objects.
• Water supply pressure must be between 20 psi
and 120 psi (138 - 827 kPa). If the water supply
pressure is more than 120 psi, a pressure
reducing valve must be installed.
• Your hot water heater should be set to deliver
water at 120 - 135°F (48 - 57°C) to allow the
washer to properly control wash temperatures.
• Do not store or install the washer in a location
subject to freezing temperatures. Damage to the
water inlet hoses and internal mechanisms of
the washer can result. If the washer was
exposed to freezing temperatures prior to
installation, allow it to stand at room
temperature for several hours before use and
check for leaks prior to operation.
• Do not use flood-preventing hoses with auto
shutoff devices. The devices can be tripped
during fill and prevent the washer from filling
properly.
How to Connect the Water Inlet
Hoses
1
Check the fittings and seals.
• Inspect the threaded fitting on each hose
and make sure there is a rubber seal
place in both ends of each hose to prevent
leaking.
2
Connect the water supply hoses.
• Connect the water inlet hoses to the hot
and cold water faucets tightly by hand and
then tighten another 2/3 turn with pliers.
• Connect the blue hose to the cold water
faucet and the red hose to the hot water
faucet.
3
After the hoses are connected, turn on the
water faucets and flush out any foreign
substances such as dirt, sand, or sawdust.
• Let the water drain into a bucket, and check
the water temperature to make sure you've
connected the hoses to the correct faucets.
4
Attach the inlet hoses to the back of the
washer.
• Attach the hot water inlet hose to the hot
water inlet on the back of the washer.
Attach the cold water inlet hose to the cold
water inlet on the back of the washer.
• Tighten the fittings securely. Turn on both
in
a
faucets all the way and check for leaks at
both ends of the hoses.
Connecting the Drain Hose
Connect the drain hose to either a standpipe or
laundry tub.
WARNING
• The drain hose should always be properly
secured. Failure to properly secure the drain
