r-71EXHAUST CONNECTION
WARNING -TOREDUCETHE
RISK OF FIRE OR PERSONAL INJURY:
• This clothes dryer must be exhausted to the
outdoors.
• We recommend that you install your dryer before
installing your washer. This will permit direct access
for easier exhaust connection.
• Use only 4" rigid metal ducting for the home exhaust
duct.
• Use only 4" rigid metal or UL-listed flexible metal
(semi-rigid or foil-type) duct to connect the dryer
to the home exhaust duct. It must be installed
in accordance with the instructions found in
"Connecting The Dryer To House Vent" on page 6 of
this manual.
• Do not terminate exhaust in a chimney, a wall,
a ceiling, gas vent, crawl space, attic, under an
enclosed floor, or in any other concealed space
of a building. The accumulated lint could create a
potential fire hazard.
• Never terminate the exhaust into a common duct
with a kitchen exhaust system. A combination of
grease and lint creates a potential fire hazard.
• Do not use duct longer than specified in the exhaust
length table. Longer ducts can accumulate lint,
creating a potential fire hazard.
• Never install a screen in or over the exhaust duct.
This will cause lint to accumulate, creating a
potential fire hazard.
• Do not assemble ductwork with any fasteners
that extend into the duct. These fasteners can
accumulate lint, creating a potential fire hazard.
• Do not obstruct incoming or exhausted air.
• Provide an access for inspection and cleaning of
the exhaust system, especially at turns and joints.
Exhaust system shall be inspected and cleaned at
least once year.

Installation Instructions
1_ 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 isinserted to allow both inlet
hoses to make that connection at the same time.
NOTE: Usethe new inlet hoses provided; never
use old hoses.
1.Turn the cold water faucet off. Remove the washer inlet
hose from the washer fill valve connector (cold).
2. Ensurethe rubber fiat washer isin place and screw the
female coupling of the short hose onto the washer fill
valve connector. Tighten by hand until firmly seated.
3. Attach the female end of the "Y"connector to the
male coupling of the short hose. Ensurethe rubber fiat
washer is in place. Tighten by hand until firmly seated.
4. Insert the filter screen in the coupling of the washer's
inlet hose. If a rubber flat washer isalready in place
remove it before installing the filter screen. Attach this
coupling to one male end of the "Y" connector. Tighten
by hand until firmly seated.
5. Ensurethe rubber fiat washer isin place and attach the
dryer's long inlet hose to the other male end of the "Y"
connector. Tighten by hand until firmly seated.
6. Ensurethe rubber fiat washer isin place and attach
the other end of the dryer's long inlet hose to the fill
valve connector at the bottom of the dryer back panel.
Tighten by hand until firmly seated.
7. Using pliers, tighten all the couplings with an additional
two-thirds turn.
NOTE: Donot overtighten. Damage to the couplings may
result.
[] CONNECTING INLET HOSES (cont.)
8.Turn the water fauceton.
9. Check for leaks around the "Y" connector, faucet and
hose couplings.
WATER SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS
Hot and cold water faucets IvlUSTbe installed within 42
in. (107 cm) of your wosher's water inlet. The faucets
IvIUSTbe 3/4 in. (1.9cm) garden hose-type so inlet hoses
con be connected. Water pressure IvIUSTbe between 10
and 120 pounds per square inch. Your water department
con 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 isvery hard.
