20 INSTALLATION
Connecting the Inlet Hose
(Steam Models)
The dryer must be connected to the cold water tap
using a new water supply hose. Do not use old hoses.
NOTE
• Water supply pressure must be between 20
and 120 psi (138—827 kPa) .
• Do not strip or cross-thread when connecting
the inlet hose to the valve.
• If the water supply pressure is more than 800
kPa, a pressure-reducing valve should be
installed.
• Periodically check the condition of the hose and
replace the hose if necessary.
• Replace inlet hoses after 5 years of use to
reduce the risk of hose failure.
• Record hose installation or replacement dates
on the hoses for future reference.
1
Check the rubber seal(s) in each inlet hose.
They are used for preventing water leaks. There
are no rubber seal(s) on the Y-connector. Make
sure the connection to the cold water tap is tight.
2
Check the installation type.

hose
Y-connector
WITH WASHER
Connect all water supply hoses tightly by hand
and then tighten another 2/3 turn with pliers.
WITH WASHER: When connecting the dryer to the
same faucet as a washer.
a. Shut off the cold water tap and remove the washer
hose.
b. Connect the end of the short hose to the cold
water faucet.
c. Connect the long dryer hose to one side of the
Y-connector and connect the washer hose to the
other side.

WITHOUT WASHER
WITHOUT WASHER: If the dryer does not share
the cold water tap with a washer.
a. Connect the straight end of the long hose to the
cold water faucet.
NOTE
• Before connecting the water line to the dryer,
flush several gallons of water into a drain or
bucket. This will help prevent foreign particles
such as sand and scale from clogging the dryer
inlet valve.
• Do not overtighten. Damage to the coupling
may result.
3
Connect the hose to the dryer. Connect the
water supply hose to the dryer inlet valve tightly
by hand and then tighten another 2/3 turn with
pliers.
Make sure that there are no kinks in the hoses
and that they are not crushed.
4
Turn on the cold water faucet.
5
Check for leaks at the Y-connector (if used) and
in all hoses.
NOTE
• If any leaks are found, shut off the water faucet,
remove the hose and check the condition of the
rubber seal.
