Connect Fill Hoses
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: If installing an accompanying steam dryer, a YConnector may be needed. Check dryer installation manual to confirm.
Water Supply Requirements
Water supply faucets must fit standard 3/4 inch [19 mm] female garden hose couplings. DO NOT USE SLIP-ON OR CLAMPON CONNECTIONS.
NOTE: Water supply faucets should be readily accessible to permit turning them off when washer is not being used.
Recommended cold water temperature is 50° to 75° Fahrenheit [10° to 24° Celsius] . Recommended maximum hot water temperature is 125° Fahrenheit [51° Celsius] . For models that have the Sanitize with Oxi and the Pet Plus Flea cycles, the hot water supply connection must provide a minimum of 120° Fahrenheit [49° Celsius] . An adjustment to the water heater may be necessary.
Warm water is a 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.

WARNING
To prevent personal injury, avoid contact with inlet water temperatures higher than 125° Fahrenheit [51° Celsius] and hot surfaces.
Maximum flow rate for all water temperatures is 2.5 gallons per minute [9.46 liters per minute] ± 15%.
Water pressure must be a minimum of 20 to a maximum of 120 pounds per square inch [minimum of 138 to a maximum of 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.
Turn on the water supply faucets and flush the lines for approximately two minutes to remove any foreign materials that could clog the screens in the water mixing valve. This is especially important when installing your washer in a newly constructed or renovated building. Build-up may have occurred during construction.

Connecting Hoses

Remove the two plain rubber washers and two filter screens from the accessories bag.
Install them into each end of the fill hoses as shown in Figure 7. The screen must be facing outward.
Screw hose couplings with the filter screens onto the water faucets until they are finger-tight.
