3. Open the shutoff valve in the supply line. The valve is open when 

the handle is parallel to the gas pipe.

4. Test all connections by brushing on an approved noncorrosive 

leak-detection solution. Bubbles will show a leak. Correct any leak 
found.

1. Using a 4" (102 mm) clamp, connect vent to exhaust outlet in 

dryer. If connecting to existing vent, make sure the vent is clean. 
The dryer vent must fit over the dryer exhaust outlet and inside the 
exhaust hood. Check that the vent is secured to exhaust hood 
with a 4" (102 mm) clamp.

2. Move dryer into its final location. Do not crush or kink vent.

3. Check that there are no kinks in the flexible gas line.

4. Once the exhaust vent connection is made, remove the corner 

posts and cardboard.

The dryer must be connected to the cold water faucet using the new 
inlet hoses. Do not use old hoses.

1. Turn cold water faucet off and remove washer inlet hose.

2. Remove old rubber washer from inlet hose and replace with new 

rubber washer provided. If space permits, attach the brass female 
end of the “Y” connector to the cold water faucet.

NOTE: If “Y” connector can be attached directly to cold water 
faucet, go to Step 6. If “Y” connector cannot be attached 
directly to the cold water faucet, the short hose must be used. 
Continue with Step 3.

3. Attach short hose to cold water faucet. Screw on coupling by 

hand until it is seated on faucet. 

4. Using pliers, tighten the couplings with an additional two-thirds 

turn. 

NOTE: Do not overtighten. Damage to the coupling can result.

5. Attach “Y” connector to brass male end of small hose. Screw on 

coupling by hand until it is seated on connector.

6. One end of the long hose has a wire mesh strainer inside the 

coupling. Attach this end to the “Y” connector.

7. Attach washer cold inlet hose to other end of “Y” connector.  

Screw on coupling by hand until it is seated on connector.

8. Using pliers, tighten the couplings with an additional two-thirds 

turn.

NOTE: Do not overtighten. Damage to the coupling can result.

9. Attach other end of long hose to fill valve at bottom of dryer back 

panel. Screw on coupling by hand until it is seated on fill valve 
connector. 

10. Using pliers, tighten the coupling with an additional two-thirds 

turn.

NOTE: Do not overtighten. Damage to the coupling can result.

11. Check that the water faucets are on.

12. Check for leaks around “Y” connector, faucet, and hoses.
