Installation Instructions

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.

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 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 ll valve connector (cold).
2. Ensure the rubber at washer is in place and screw
the female coupling of the short hose onto the washer ll
valve connector. Tighten by hand until rmly seated.
3. Attach the female end of the ‘’Y’’ connector to the male
coupling of the short hose. Ensure the rubber at washer
is in place. Tighten by hand until rmly seated.
4. Insert the lter screen in the coupling of the washer’s
inlet hose. If a rubber at washer
is already in place remove it before installing
the lter screen. Attach this coupling to one male end of
the ‘’Y’’ connector. Tighten by hand until rmly seated.
5. Ensure the rubber at 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 rmly seated.
6. Ensure the rubber at washer is in place and attach
the other end of the dryer’s long inlet hose to the ll valve
connector at the bottom of the dryer back panel. Tighten
by hand until rmly seated.
7. Using pliers, tighten all the couplings with
an additional two–thirds turn.
NOTE: Do not overtighten. Damage to the couplings may
result.
