Water Connections
All inlet connections to the machine are to be tted with manual shut-off valves and lters,
to facilitate installation and servicing.
NOTE: The inlet lter screens are provided inside the machine’s connection ttings.
Water pipes and hoses should be ushed clean before installation. After installation, hoses
should hang in gentle arcs.
The machine is equipped with two water inlet ttings, one for hot water and one for cold.
The ttings on the back of the machine are metric (DN20) threads, onto which only one end
of the included ll hoses (the end with the “elbow” tting, also marked with a label that reads
“Machine End”) can be threaded. The other end of each ll hose is tted with a standard
“female garden hose” threaded tting that will easily assemble to the supply spigot in your
laundry.
Hoses need only be HAND TIGHTENED when properly assembled.
If hoses are difcult to assemble, or leak after assembly, check that the hoses have been
assembled in the proper orientation and have a garden-hose washer in each swivel tting.
Your water heater should supply hot water at a minimum temperature of 120
degrees Fahrenheit (49 degrees Celsius) and a maximum of 170 degrees
Fahrenheit (77 degrees Celsius).
The required water pressure is as follows:
• min: 15 PSI (100 kPa)
• max: 90 PSI (600 kPa)
recommended: 30-90 PSI (200-600 kPa)
