Installation – Water Line
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 & “Y”
connector provided; never use old
hoses. (Hose kit - Long & short hoses, washers & “Y” connector - WE25M53)

Features – Steam Cycles
Steam Refresh
For slightly wrinkled dry garments. Significantly reduces wrinkles on 1–5
garments.
Selecting a higher number of garments for the cycle (e.g., selecting 5garment load for a 1-garment load) may result in excessive wetting of
clothes. After the STEAM REFRESH Cycle, the unit will beep and display
“Garments Ready” and “0:00.” If the unit is not turned off or if the door is not
opened, the dryer will continue to tumble for 30 minutes. At the end of 30
minutes, it will display “0:00” and “Cycle Complete.”
NOTE: When STEAM REFRESH is selected, “EXTENDED TUMBLE” will
automatically turn on and cannot be turned off.
A single extremely light fabric item may need to have an additional item
included in the steam refresh cycle to
achieve optimum results.

Features – Steam Cycles
Steam Dewrinkle
For use with larger loads than STEAM REFRESH. Ideal for
loads left in dryer for an extended time. Selecting a larger cycle
than needed (e.g., selecting Large Load for a half-full dryer)
