Installation Instructions
I_1 CONNECTING 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 isinserted to allow both inlet
hoses to make that connection at the same time.
NOTE: Usethe 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 fiat 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 fiat
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. Ensurethe rubber fiat washer isin 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. Ensurethe rubber fiat washer isin 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.
I_1 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 HUST be installed within 42
in.(107 cm) of your washer's water inlet. Thefaucets
HUSTbe :3/4 in. (1.9cm) garden hose-type so inlet hoses
can be connected. Water pressure HUSTbe between 10
and 120 pounds per square inch. Your water department
can advise you of your water pressure.
