CONNECTING INLET HOSES
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.
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
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 the dryer's long inlet hose 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.

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.
