INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
CONNECTING THE WATER LINES
•IMPORTANT: Use new hoses when installing the
washer. Do NOT reuse old hoses.
•IMPORTANT: Use ONLY the inlet hoses provided with
this washer. Aftermarket hoses are not guaranteed to t or
function correctly. Other hoses may not tighten correctly
and could cause leaks. Subsequent damage to product
or property will not be covered under the terms of the
product warranty.
• Water supply pressure must be between 14.5 psi and
116 psi (100~800 kPa). If the water supply pressure is more
than 116 psi, a pressure reducing valve must be installed.
• Periodically check the hose for cracks, leaks, and wear,
and replace the hose if necessary.
• Make sure that the water lines are not stretched,
pinched, crushed, or kinked.
• The washer should never be installed or stored in a
location subject to freezing temperatures. Damage to the
water lines 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.
4. Attach the (red) hot water line to the hot water inlet on
the back of the washer. Attach the (blue) cold water line
to the cold water inlet on the back of the washer.
Tighten the ttings securely.
NOTE: When installing the hoses onto the water
inlet valves, be careful not to cross-thread the hose
ttings. DO NOT overtighten the hoses; this could cause
damage to internal components, the valve or the hose
gasket. Overtightening could result in property damage
from leaks.
1. Inspect the threaded tting on each hose and make
sure there is a rubber seal in place in both ends.
Water Faucet
2. Connect the water supply hoses to the HOT and
COLD water faucets tightly by hand and then tighten
another ⅔ turn with pliers.
3. Always run a gallon or two of water through each
inlet hose to ush dirt, scale and other debris out
of the water lines. Doing so will help prevent future
problems with clogged lter screens, and will also
allow you to verify which hose is hot and which
is cold.
