not to pinch, crush, or damage the power cord.

This will prevent injury and damage to the dryer

from fire and electric shock.

•

Do not, under any circumstances, cut or

remove the ground prong from the power cord.

To prevent personal injury or damage to the dryer,

the electrical power cord must be plugged into a

properly grounded outlet.

•

For personal safety, this dryer must be properly

grounded. Failure to do so may result in electric

shock or injury.

•

Refer to the installation instructions in this

manual for specific electrical requirements for

your model. Failure to follow these instructions

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.
