CONNECTING INLET HOSES (for steam dryer models only)
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 new inlet hoses; 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
provided 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 a 4 ft. (1.2 m) to 6 ft. (1.8 m) long
water inlet hose (may need to be purchased
separately) 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" (19.1 mm)
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.
