Water Supply Requirements . . .
WARNING
Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may
be produced in a hot water system that has
not been used for two weeks or more.
HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. If the hot
water system has not been used for such a
period and before using the washer, turn on
all hot water faucets and let the water flow
from each for several minutes. This will
release any accumulated hydrogen gas. The
gas is flammable. Do not smoke or use an
open flame during this time.
NOTE: Water supply faucets must fit standard
3/4 inch (19.1 mm) female garden hose couplings. DO
NOT USE SLIP-ON OR CLAMP-ON
CONNECTIONS.
NOTE: Water supply faucets should be readily
accessible to permit turning them off when washer is
not being used.
Water Temperature
Cold:
Recommended cold water temperature is 60° to 80°
Fahrenheit, 16° to 27° Celsius.
Hot:
Recommended hot water temperature is 120° to 140°
Fahrenheit, 49° to 60° Celsius.
Warm:
Mixture of hot and cold water. (Warm water temperature
is dependent upon the water temperature and the pressure
of both the hot and cold water supply lines.)
IMPORTANT: Turn off water supply faucets after
check-out and demonstration. Owner should turn off
water supply whenever there will be an extended
period of non-use.

NOTE: Longer inlet hoses are available (as optional
equipment at extra cost) if the hoses (supplied with
the washer) are not long enough for the installation.
Order hoses as follows:
No. 20617 Inlet Hose (8 foot) (2.44m)
No. 20618 Inlet Hose (10 foot) (3.05m)

Water Pressure
Pressure must be a minimum of 20 to a maximum of 120
pounds per square inch (138 to 827 kPa) static pressure
measured at the faucet.
NOTE: Water pressure under 20 pounds per square
inch (138 kPa) will cause an extended fill time in the
washer and may not properly flush out the detergent
dispenser.
Risers
Risers (or air cushions) may have to be installed if the
pipes knock or pound when flow of water stops. The
risers are more efficient when installed as close as
possible to the water supply faucets (see illustration
below).
