Installation Instructions
[_ 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 ",7" 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 fiat washer is in place and screw the
female coupling of the short hose onto the washer fill
valve connector. Tighten by hand until firmly seated.
3. Attach the female end of the '"7" connector to the mule
coupling of the short hose. Ensurethe rubber fiat 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 fiat washer is already in place
remove it before installing the filter screen. Attach this
coupling to one male end of the '"7" connector. Tighten
by hand until firmly seated.
5. Ensure the rubber fiat washer is in place and attach the
dryer's long inlet hose to the other male end of the '"7"
connector. Tighten by hand until firmly seated.
6. Ensure the rubber fiat 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.
