Installation Instructions

CONNECTING INLET HOSES

CONNECTING INLET HOSES

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.

The GE PFMN440 and PFMN445 are members of the RF transistor family that offer robust performance in high-frequency applications. The PFMN440 is particularly noted for its outstanding linearity and power gain, which makes it suitable for use in RF amplifiers and transmitters. Its compact package and advanced thermal management design enable efficient heat dissipation, which is critical in maintaining performance under load. The PFMN445, with a higher power rating, amplifies these characteristics, supporting greater output levels while maintaining linearity, resulting in clearer signal output.

The PFDS455 and PFDS450, on the other hand, are optimized for industrial applications with features that emphasize durability and efficiency. The PFDS455 stands out for its ability to handle higher voltages and currents, making it an excellent choice for applications that require resilience against overloads. The device's superior thermal stability ensures that it performs consistently across a range of operational environments. The PFDS450 shares many of these attributes but is tailored for applications requiring a slightly lower output, making it versatile for different RF circuit designs.

The PFDN440 is designed with specialized technologies that enhance its functionality in digital and mixed-signal environments. It integrates advanced semiconductor materials which reduce power consumption and improve efficiency without compromising performance. This device is particularly useful in applications that demand high-speed operation and reliability, making it a preferred choice for modern communication systems.

All these transistors utilize state-of-the-art manufacturing processes, including advanced doping techniques and epitaxial growth, which contribute to their excellent electrical characteristics. Their high thermal conductivity, high breakdown voltage, and wide frequency response range make these devices suitable for both commercial and specialized applications.

Overall, GE's PFMN440, PFMN445, PFDS455, PFDS450, and PFDN440 transistors are emblematic of modern RF technology, combining power, efficiency, and reliability to cater to a wide spectrum of RF applications.
