Installation Guide
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 
attach one female coupling of the short hose 
onto the washer fill valve connector. Tighten by 
hand until firmly seated.
3.  Attach one male end of the “Y” connector to the 
other female 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 one 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.
NOTE: 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.
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.
