• IMPORTANT: Use new hoses when installing the 

washer. Do NOT reuse old hoses.

• IMPORTANT: Use ONLY the inlet hoses provided with 

this washer. Aftermarket hoses are not guaranteed to fit or 

function correctly. Other hoses may not tighten correctly 

and could cause leaks. Subsequent damage to product 

or property will not be covered under the terms of the 

product warranty.

• Water supply pressure must be between 14.5 psi and 

116 psi (100~800 kPa). If the water supply pressure is more 

than 116 psi, a pressure reducing valve must be installed.

• Periodically check the hose for cracks, leaks, and wear, 

and replace the hose if necessary.

• Make sure that the water lines are not stretched, 

pinched, crushed, or kinked.

• The washer should never be installed or stored in a 

location subject to freezing temperatures. Damage to the 

water lines and internal mechanisms of the washer can 

result. If the washer was exposed to freezing temperatures 

prior to installation, allow it to stand at room temperature 

for several hours before use and check for leaks prior  

to operation.

4. Attach the (red) hot water line to the hot water inlet on 

    the back of the washer. Attach the (blue) cold water line  

    to the cold water inlet on the back of the washer. 

    Tighten the fittings securely.

    

NOTE: When installing the hoses onto the water   

      

inlet valves, be careful not to cross-thread the hose     

fittings. DO NOT overtighten the hoses; this could cause 

damage to internal components, the valve or the hose 

gasket. Overtightening could result in property damage 

from leaks.

1.  Inspect the threaded fitting on each hose and make 

sure there is a rubber seal in place in both ends.

2. Connect the water supply hoses to the HOT and 

COLD water faucets tightly by hand and then tighten 

another ⅔ turn with pliers. 

3. Always run a gallon or two of water through each 

inlet hose to flush dirt, scale and other debris out 

of the water lines. Doing so will help prevent future 

problems with clogged filter screens, and will also 

allow you to verify which hose is hot and which  

is cold.
