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.

NOTE:

 Do not overtighten. Damage to the couplings 

may result.

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.
