2. Connect vent to exhaust hood
Vent must t 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.
2. Attach short hose and
“Y” connector
If space permits, attach the female end of the “Y” connector
to the cold water faucet. See gure A.
If “Y” connector cannot be attached directly to the cold water
faucet, the short hose must be used. See gure 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.

CONNECT INLET HOSE
The dryer must be connected to the cold water faucet using the
new inlet hoses. Do not use old hoses.
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.
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.
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.
