Plumbing Requirements

Water Inlet
All W1900 series washer (except the W1903) are equipped with two
Water Inlet Hoses. Connect the Cold Water Intake Hose (blue mark)
to the Cold Water Valve and the Hot Water Intake Hose (red mark) to
the Hot Water Valve.
The W1903 is equipped with a single Inlet Hose; that must be
connected to a cold water supply.
The water pressure must be within 15-145 psi (1-10 bar). If the water
pressure is greater than 145 psi (10 bar), a Pressure Reducer must
be installed. If the water pressure is below 15 psi (1 bar), insufficient
water may be available for a complete fill. The Water Intake Hoses
are equipped with Screen Filters - do not remove these filters.
Note:
For customers requesting a "cold water only connection" on washers
equipped with Dual Inlet Hoses a "Y" adapter (available at most hardware
stores) can be utilized. Both Inlet Hoses (hot and cold) should be
connected to the adapter.
Drain Connection
The appliance is equipped with a 5 ft. (1.5 m) drain hose with a maximum
delivery height of 4ft. (1.2 m) which can be connected as follows:
1. Directly into a sink: hook the hose over the edge of the sink and
secure it firmly (i.e. by tying the hose to the water faucet etc...).
2. To a stand pipe: place the Drain Hose into a 1 1 /2" (38 mm) stand
pipe and secure in place.
3. To a floor drain: The machine is equipped with an Airgap/Anti-
Siphoning System so that no minimum drain height is required.
Important!
Ensure all connections are secure & hoses are free from sharp bends
and kinks.
