CONNECTING INLET HOSES (for steam dryer models only)

CONNECTING INLET HOSES (cont.)

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.

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 new inlet hoses; 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

attach one female coupling of the short hose

provided onto the washer fill valve connector.

Tighten by hand until firmly seated.

3. Attach one male end of the “Y” connector to the

other female 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 a 4 ft. to 6 ft. long water inlet hose (may

need to be purchased separately) to one 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.
