CONNECTING THE INLET HOSE

The dryer must be connected to the cold water tap using

the new water supply hose. Do not use old hoses.

NOTE:

• Water supply pressure must be between 20psi and

120psi (138–827 kPa).

• Do not strip or cross-thread when connecting inlet hose

to the valve.

• If the water supply pressure is more than 120psi

(827kPa), a pressure reducing valve should be installed.

• Periodically check the condition of the hose and replace

the hose if necessary.

• Replace inlet hoses after 5 years of use to reduce the

risk of hose failure.

• Record hose installation or replacement dates on the

hoses for future reference.

Check the rubber seals in the inlet hose. Two rubber

seals are supplied with the inlet hose. They are used for

preventing water leaks. Make sure the connection to

the cold water tap is tight.

WITH WASHER: When connecting the dryer to the

same faucet as a washer.

hose.

b. Connect the short hose to the Y-connector.

c. Connect the other end of the short hose to the cold

water faucet.

d. Connect the long dryer hose to one side of the Y-connector

and connect the washer hose to the other side.

WITHOUT WASHER: If the dryer does not share the

cold water tap with a washer.

a. Connect the straight end of the long hose to the cold

water faucet.

NOTE:

• Before connecting the water line to the dryer, ﬂ ush

several gallons of water through the hose into

a drain or bucket. This will help prevent foreign

particles such as sand and scale from clogging the

dryer inlet valve.

• Do not overtighten. Damage to the coupling can

result.

Connect the hose to the dryer.

Connect the water supply hose to the dryer inlet valve

tightly by hand and then tighten another 2/3 turn

with pliers. Make sure that there are no kinks in the

hoses and that they are not crushed.

Turn on the cold water faucet.

Check for leaks at the Y-connector (if used) and all

hoses.

NOTE:

• If any leaks are found, shut oﬀ the water faucet,

remove the hose and check the condition of the hose

washer.
