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.

. 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.

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.

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.

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 top of the dryer back panel. Tighten by hand until firmly seated.

EXHAUSTING THE DRYER

- Fire Hazard

This dryer MUST be vented to the outdoors.

Use only 4" rigid metal ducting for the home exhaust duct.

Use only 4" rigid metal or UL-listed dryer transition duct to connect the dryer to the home exhaust.

DO NOT use a plastic vent. DO NOT exhaust into a chimney, kitchen exhaust,

gas vent, wall, ceiling, attic, crawl space, or concealed space of a building.

DO NOT install a screen in or over the exhaust duct. DO NOT use duct longer than specified in the

exhaust length table. Failure to follow these instructions can result in

death or fire.

EXHAUST SYSTEM CHECKLIST

HOOD OR WALL CAP

• Terminate in a manner to prevent back drafts or entry

of birds or other wildlife.

• Termination should present minimal resistance to

the exhaust airflow and should require little or no

maintenance to prevent clogging.

• Wall caps must be installed at least 12" above ground

level or any other obstruction with the opening pointed down.

• Never vent the dryer out of the roof. SEPARATIONOFTURNS

• For best performance, separate all turns by at least

4 ft. of straight duct, including distance between last

turn and dampened wall cap.

SEALINGOFJOINTS

• Alljoints should be tight to avoid leaks. The male end

of each section of duct must point away from the dryer.

• Ductjoints should be made air- and moisture-tight

by wrapping the overlapped joints with duct tape or aluminum tape.

• Do not assemble ductwork with any fasteners

that extend into the duct. These fasteners can

accumulate lint, creating a potential fire hazard.

• Horizontal runs should slope down towards the

outdoors 1/4" per foot. Provide an access for inspection and cleaning of

the exhaust system, especially at turns and joints.

Exhaust system shall be inspected and cleaned at least once a year.

INSULATION

• Ductwork that runs through an unheated area or is

near air conditioning should be insulated to reduce condensation and lint buildup.

RIGIDMETAL TRANSITION DUCT

• For best drying performance, a rigid metal transition duct is recommended.

• Rigid metal transition ducts reduce the risk of crushing and kinking.

UL-LISTEDFLEXIBLEMETAL(SEMI-RIGID}TRANSITION DUCT

• Ifrigid metal duct cannot be used, then UL-listed

flexible metal (semi-rigid)ducting can be used (Kit WX08X10077).

• Never install flexible metal duct in walls, ceilings, floors or other enclosed spaces.

• Total length of flexible metal duct should not exceed 7'

9"(2.4m).

• For many applications, installing elbows at both

the dryer and the wall is highly recommended (see

illustrations at right). Elbows allow the dryer to sit close to the wall without kinking and/or crushing the

transition duct, maximizing drying performance.

• Avoid resting the duct on sharp objects.

UL-LISTEDFLEXIBLEMETAL(FaIL-PIPE} TRANSITION DUCT

• In special installations, it may be necessary to connect

the dryer to the house vent using a flexible metal

(foil-type) duct. A UL-listed flexible metal (foil-type)duct may be used ONLY in installations where rigid metal or

flexible metal (semi-rigid) ducting cannot be used AND where a 4" diameter can be maintained throughout

the entire length of the transition duct.

• In Canada and the United States, only the flexible metal (foil-type) ducts that comply with the "Outline for Clothes Dryer Transition Duct Subject 2158A" shall be

used. Never install flexible metal duct in walls, ceilings, floors

or other enclosed spaces.

Total length of flexible metal duct should not exceed 7'

9"12.4m).

Avoid resting the duct on sharp objects.

For best drying performance:

1.Slide one end of the duct over the clothes dryer outlet pipe.

2.Secure the duct with a clump.

3.With the dryer in its permanent position, extend the duct to itsfull length. Allow 2" of duct to overlap the exhaust pipe. Cut off and remove excess duct. Keep the duct as straight as

possible for maximum airflow.

4.Secure the duct to the exhaust pipe with the other clump.
