Water requirements
To fill your washer in the correct amount of time, the water pressure
needs to be between 14 and 116 psi (100 to 800 kPa).
If the water pressure is less than 14 psi (100 kPa):
•
The water valve may fail or may not shut off completely.
•
The time it takes to fill your washer may be longer than the time
your washer controls allow. Your washer will turn off and report an
error. A time-limit is built into the controls to prevent flooding in
your home if a hose becomes loose.
•
Water inlet hoses must be purchased separately. You can buy inlet
hoses in various lengths up to 8 ft. (240 cm).
To avoid the possibility of water damage:
•
Make sure that the water faucets are easily accessible.
•
Turn off the faucets when you are not using your washer.
•
Periodically check to make sure that water is not leaking from the
water hose fittings.
Drainage requirements
The recommended height for the drain standpipe is 48 in. (122 cm).
The drain hose must be routed through the drain hose clip to the
standpipe.
The standpipe must be large enough to accept the outside diameter of
the drain hose.
