24 INSTALLATION Connecting the Inlet Hose (Steam Models) The dryer must be connected to the cold water tap using a new water supply hose. Do not use old hoses. NOTE •• Water supply pressure must be between 20 and 120 psi (138-827 kPa) . •• Do not strip or cross-thread when connecting the inlet hose to the valve. •• If the water supply pressure is more than 800 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. 1 Check the rubber seal at each end of the inlet hoses.

INSTALLATION
Connecting the Inlet Hose
(Steam Models)
The dryer must be connected to the cold water tap
using a new water supply hose. Do not use old hoses.
NOTE
•
Water supply pressure must be between 20
and 120 psi (138—827 kPa) .
•
Do not strip or cross-thread when connecting
the inlet hose to the valve.
•
If the water supply pressure is more than 800
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.
1
Check the rubber seal at each end of the inlet
hoses. Two rubber seals are supplied with each
inlet hose. They are used for preventing water
leaks. Make sure the connection to the cold
water tap is tight.

WITH WASHER
WITHOUT WASHER
Connect all water supply hoses tightly by hand
and then tighten another 2/3 turn with pliers.
WITH WASHER: When connecting the dryer to the
same faucet as a washer.
a. Shut off the cold water tap and remove the washer
hose.
b. Connect the short hose to the Y-connector using
one of the rubber seals.
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,
flush several gallons of water 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
may result.
3
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.
4
Turn on the cold water faucet.
5
Check for leaks at the Y-connector (if used) and
in all hoses.
NOTE
•
If any leaks are found, shut off the water faucet,
remove the hose and check the condition of the
rubber seal.
