NOTE
• For your safety, and for extended product life,
use only authorized components.
The manufacturer is not responsible for product
malfunction or accidents caused by the use of
separately purchased unauthorized parts.
• Use new hoses when you install the washing
machine. Do not reuse old hoses.
• Periodically check the hoses for cracks, leaks
and wear, and replace the hoses every 5 years.
• Do not stretch the water hoses intentionally, and
make sure that they are not crushed by other
objects.
• Water line pressure must be between 14.5 PSI
and 116 PSI (100 - 800 kPa). If the water line
pressure is higher than 116 PSI, a pressure
reducing valve must be installed.
• To provide optimum washing performance the
hot water temperature should be set at
120-135˚F (48-57˚C) and the cold at 60F (15˚C)
