2. Connect vent to exhaust hood 2. Attach short hose and "Y" connector Fig. A Fig. B Vent must fit over the exhaust hood. Secure vent to exhaust hood with 4" (102 mm) clamp. Run vent to dryer location using straightest path possible. Avoid 90° turns. Use clamps to seal all joints. Do not use duct tape, screws, or other fastening devices that extend into interior of vent to secure vent, because they can catch lint. CONNECT INLET HOSE (STEAM MODEL ONLY) For non-steam models, skip to "Connect Vent." The dryer must be connected to the cold water faucet using the new inlet hoses (not supplied). Do not use old hoses. NOTE: 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. Periodically inspect and replace hoses if bulges, kinks, cuts, wear, or leaks are found. If space permits, attach the female end of the "Y" connector to the cold water faucet. See figure A. If "Y" connector cannot be attached directly to the cold water faucet, the short hose must be used. See figure B. Attach short hose to cold water faucet. Screw on coupling by hand until it is seated on faucet. Then attach "Y" connector to male end of the short hose. Screw on coupling by hand until it is seated on connector. 3. Tighten couplings 1. Turn cold water off, remove hose, and replace rubber washer Fig. A Fig. B Using pliers, tighten the couplings with additional two-thirds turn. NOTE: Do not overtighten. Damage to the coupling can result. 4. Attach long hose to "Y" connector and tighten couplings Turn cold water faucet off and remove washer inlet hose. Check and see if rubber washer is in the "Y" connector. Remove old rubber washer from inlet hose and replace with new rubber washer provided. One end of the long hose has a wire mesh strainer inside the coupling. Attach this end to the "Y" connector. Attach washer cold inlet hose to other side of "Y" connector. Screw on coupling by hand until it is seated on connector. Using pliers, tighten the couplings an additional two-thirds turn. NOTE: Do not overtighten. Damage to the coupling can result. 15

all joints. Do not use duct tape, screws, or other fastening
devices that extend into interior of vent to secure vent,
because they can catch lint.
2.
Attach short hose and
“Y” connector
If space permits, attach the female end of the “Y” connector
to the cold water faucet. See figure A.
If “Y” connector cannot be attached directly to the cold water
faucet, the short hose must be used. See figure B. Attach
short hose to cold water faucet. Screw on coupling by hand
until it is seated on faucet. Then attach “Y” connector to male
end of the short hose. Screw on coupling by hand until it is
seated on connector.

1.
Turn cold water off, remove hose,
and replace rubber washer
Turn cold water faucet off and remove washer inlet hose.
Check and see if rubber washer is in the “Y” connector.
Remove old rubber washer from inlet hose and replace with
new rubber washer provided.
3.
Tighten couplings
Using pliers, tighten the couplings with additional two-thirds turn.
NOTE:
Do not overtighten. Damage to the coupling can result.
4.
Attach long hose to “Y”
connector and tighten couplings
One end of the long hose has a wire mesh strainer inside the
coupling. Attach this end to the “Y” connector. Attach washer
cold inlet hose to other side of “Y” connector. Screw on
coupling by hand until it is seated on connector. Using pliers,
tighten the couplings an additional two-thirds turn.
NOTE:
Do not overtighten. Damage to the coupling can result.
CONNECT INLET HOSE
(STEAM MODEL ONLY)
For non-steam models, skip to “Connect Vent.”
The dryer must be connected to the cold water faucet using the
