Installation Instructions

14CONNECTING INLET HOSES

(on some models)

To produce steam, the dryer must connect to the cold water supply. Since the washer must also connect to the cold water, a “Y” connector is inserted to allow both inlet hoses to make that connection at the same time.

NOTE: Use the new inlet hoses provided; never use old hoses.

1.Turn the cold water faucet off. Remove the washer inlet hose from the washer fill valve connector (cold).

2.Ensure the rubber flat washer is in place and screw the female coupling of the short hose onto the washer fill valve connector. Tighten by hand until firmly seated.

3.Attach the female end of the ‘’Y’’ connector to the male coupling of the short hose. Ensure the rubber flat washer is in place. Tighten by hand until firmly seated.

4.Insert the filter screen in the coupling of the washer’s inlet hose. If a rubber flat washer

is already in place remove it before installing

the filter screen. Attach this coupling to one male end of the ‘’Y’’ connector. Tighten by hand until firmly seated.

5.Ensure the rubber flat washer is in place and attach the dryer’s long inlet hose to the other male end of the ‘’Y’’ connector. Tighten by hand until firmly seated.

6.Ensure the rubber flat washer is in place and attach the other end of the dryer’s long inlet hose to the fill valve connector at the bottom of the dryer back panel. Tighten by hand until firmly seated.

7.Using pliers, tighten all the couplings with an additional two–thirds turn.

NOTE: Do not overtighten. Damage to the couplings may result.

8.Turn the water faucet on.

9.Check for leaks around the ‘’Y’’ connector,

faucet and hose couplings.

WATER SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS

Hot and cold water faucets MUST be installed within 42 in. (107 cm) of your washer’s water inlet. The faucets MUST be 3/4 in. (1.9 cm) garden hose-type so inlet hoses can be connected. Water pressure MUST be between 10 and 120 pounds per square inch. Your water department can advise you of your water pressure.

NOTE: A water softener is recommended to reduce buildup of scale inside the steam generator if the home water supply is very hard.
