Water Line Connection - GE Profile PTDS650EM Technical Service Manual

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.
