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 "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 fill valve connector (cold).
2. Ensure the rubber flat 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 "Y" connector to the
male coupling of the short hose. Ensure the rubber flat
washer is in place. Tighten by hand until firmly seated.

5. Ensure the rubber flat 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 firmly seated.

WATER SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS
Hot and cold water faucets MUSTbe 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 so inlet hoses
can be connected. Water pressure MUSTbe 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.
