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.

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.

 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.

4. Insert the filter screen in the coupling of the washer’s 

inlet hose. If a rubber flat washer 

is already in place remove it before installing 

the filter screen. Attach this coupling to one male end of 

the ‘’Y’’ connector. 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.

6. Ensure the rubber flat 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. Tighten 

by hand until firmly seated.

7. Using pliers, tighten all the couplings with 

an additional two–thirds turn.

 Do not overtighten. Damage to the couplings may 

result.

8. Turn the water faucet on.

9. Check for leaks around the ‘’Y’’ connector, 

faucet and hose couplings.
