Connecting Inlet Hoses; Water Supply Requirements - GE Gas Dryer Installation Instructions Manual

CONNECTING INLET HOSES

15
(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.
Attach the female end of the ''Y'' connector to the male
coupling to one male end of the ''Y'' connector. Tighten
dryer's long inlet hose to the other male end of the ''Y''
valve connector at the bottom of the dryer back panel.
Using pliers, tighten all the couplings with an additional
two–thirds turn.
NOTE: Do not overtighten. Damage to the couplings may
result.
Installation Instructions

Turn the water faucet on.
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 in. (1.9 cm) 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.
