CAUTION

Water

To correctly fill your washer in the proper amount of time, water pressure of 20-116 psi (137-
800 kPa) is required.
Water pressure less than 20 psi (137 kPa) may cause water valve failure, may not allow the water
valve to shut off completely, or may extend the fill time beyond what your washer controls allow,
resulting in your washer turning off. A time limit is built into the controls to prevent flooding if a
hose becomes loose.
The water faucets must be within 4 ft. (122 cm) of the back of your washer to match the inlet
hose provided with your washer.
Accessory inlet hoses are available in various lengths up to 10 ft. (305 cm) for faucets that
are further away from the back of your washer.
