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.
15 CONNECTING INLET HOSES
(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.
