These filters should be checked every 6 months and cleaned, if necessary. (This may need to be performed more frequently with some water supplies). , Inspect the hose regularly. The hose must be in good condition to withstand high water pressure. The hose should be replaced if there are cracks in the surface, or if it has been otherwise damaged or cut. Cleaning the inlet hose filter ^ Turn off the water valve. [. . . ] Both hoses must be connected to a water source, or the machine will not function properly. If the water pressure is greater that 145 psi (10 bar), a pressure reducer must be installed. If the water pressure is below 15 psi (1 bar), there will not be enough water available for a complete fill. Tips for a hot water connection ­ The hot water temperature from the hot water valve must not exceed 140°F; the ideal temperature is 130°F. [. . . ]
