WATER
Water pressure of 30 to 120 p.s.i, is required to correctly fill the washer in the proper time.
Pressures of less than 30 p.s;i, may cause a failure in the water valve or the fill times to be
extended past what the washer controls will normally allow. The water valve may also not
shut off completely.
Hot and cold water faucets must be within 4 feet of the back of the washer for inlet hoses
provided with the washer. NOTE: Accessory inlet hoses are available in various lengths up
to 10 feet for faucets more than 4 feet from the back of the washer.
TO AVOID THE POSSIBILITY OF WATER DAMAGE, SHOULD A HOSE LEAK,
ALWAYS HAVE FAUCETS ACCESSIBLE AND TURN OFF FAUCETS WHEN
WASHER IS NOT IN USE.
Water heater should be set to deliver a minimum of 120 degrees to 140 degrees F (49-60
degrees C) water to the washer.
DRAIN FACILITY
Recommended height of the standpipe is 36 ". If the standpipe is less that 24" high, the drain
hose should be routed through the clip to raise the hose to the proper height. Standpipe must
be large enough to accept the outside diameter of the drain hose.
Without the 24" high elevation, water may run out of the washer prematurely. For instal-
lations with less than a 24" high standpipe, please refer to the section titled: FLOOR
DRAIN INSTALLATION.
THE WASHING MACHINE MUST NOT BE STORED IN AN AREA WHERE IT WILL
BE EXPOSED TO WATER AND/OR WEATHER.
