Water connection
Water supply
NOTICE
The washing machine must only be
operated with hot (max. 140 °F / 60
°C) and cold tap water. Do not
connect the appliance to the mixer
tap of an unpressurized hotĆwater
boiler.
If in doubt, have the water connection
installed by an authorized technician.
The water supply hoses must not be:
-
Kinked, bent or flattened in such a
way as to potentially diminish
water flow.
- Modified or cut (integrity can
no longer be guaranteed).
Periodic inspection and
replacement of damaged or
kinked hoses is recommended.
Replacement of the water supply
hoses after five years of use may
help reduce the risk of hose failure.
NOTICE
Properly secured EXTERNAL hose
connections are the sole
responsibility of the customer. The
manufacturer assumes no
responsibility or liability for
improperly installed EXTERNAL
hoses or other connections.
Observe the water pressure in the
supply network:
-
The water pressure should be
between 20 and 120 p.s.i. (1.38
and 8.27 bar) when the faucet
is turned on and at least 2.2 U. S.
gallons (8 liters) of water should be
discharged per minute.
- A pressure regulator valve must be
installed if the maximum water
pressure is exceeded.
NOTICE
To prevent water damage, the hot
and cold water valves should be
accessible when the washing
machine is in place and should
always be turned off when the
washing machine is not in use.
NOTICE
If installing the washing machine in a
new building or a building in which
the plumbing system was recently
installed or upgraded, flush the lines
before installing the washing
machine to remove any sand, dirt or
residue.

q Do not remove the strainers
from the water supply hoses.
q Check to be sure the rubber
washer/strainer is in the
Aquastopt hose prior to attaching
the hose to the faucet. It is not
necessary to remove the washer to
clean the strainer. To clean, rinse
under running water. If necessary,
lightly wipe the wire mesh strainer
to help dislodge any accumulated
debris.
q Also check to be sure the rubber
washer is present in the end of the
Aquastopthose that attaches to
the appliance.
q Plastic threads must only be
tightened by hand. Connect the
water supply hoses to the back of
the washer.
q Tighten only metal-to-metal
couplings (eg: connecting the
Aquastopt hose to the faucet) an
additional two-thirds turn using
pliers. Do not use pliers to tighten
plastic thread fittings onto plastic
or metal threads.
