Connecting Inlet Hose - LG DLEY1201 Serie Manual De Propietario

Connecting inlet hose

The dryer must be connected to the cold water tap using the new water supply hose. Do not use old hoses
NOTE
• Water supply pressure must be between 14.5 PSI and 116 PSI (100~800 kPa).
• Do not strip or cross-thread when connecting inlet hose to the valve.
• If the water supply pressure is more than 1000 kPa, a decompression device should be installed.
• Periodically check the condition of the hose and replace the hose if necessary.
• Replace inlet hoses after 5 years of use to reduce the risk of hose failure.
• Record hose installation or replacement dates on the hoses for future reference.
1. Check rubber seal in the inlet hose. Two rubber seals are
supplied with each inlet hose. They are used for preventing
water leaks. Make sure the connection to the cold water tap is
tight.
2. Check the installation type.
