4. Insert the fi lter screen in the coupling of the
washer’s inlet hose. If a rubber fl at washer is
already in place remove it before installing the
fi lter screen. Attach this coupling to one male
end of the ‘’Y’’ connector. Tighten by hand until
fi rmly seated.
5. Ensure the rubber fl 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 fi rmly seated.
6. Ensure the rubber fl at washer is in place and
attach the other end of the dryer’s long inlet
hose to the fi ll valve connector at the bottom
of the dryer back panel. Tighten by hand until
fi rmly seated.
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
faucets 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 nozzle if the home
water supply is very hard.
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 fi ll valve
connector (cold).
2. Ensure the rubber fl at washer is in place and
screw the female coupling of the short hose
onto the washer fi ll valve connector. Tighten by
hand until fi rmly seated.
3. Attach the female end of the ‘’Y’’ connector to
the male coupling of the short hose. Ensure the
rubber fl at washer is in place. Tighten by hand
until fi rmly seated.
8. Turn the water faucet on.
9. Check for leaks around the ‘’Y’’ connector, faucet
and hose couplings.
7. Using pliers, tighten all the couplings with an
additional two–thirds turn.
Note: Do not overtighten. Damage to the couplings
may result.
