SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS

FOR STEAM MODELS

Water Inlet Hose
Replace inlet hose and hose screen after 5 years of use

to reduce the risk of hose failure. Periodically inspect and

replace inlet hose if bulges, kinks, cuts, wear, or leaks

are found.

When replacing your inlet hose, record the date

of replacement.

To Winterize the Dryer
1.
Unplug dryer or disconnect power.
2. Shut off water faucet.
3. Disconnect water inlet hose from faucet and drain.

To Use the Dryer Again
1.
Flush water pipes. Reconnect water inlet hose to faucet.

Turn on water faucet.

2. Plug in dryer or reconnect power as described in the

Installation Instructions.

NON-USE, STORAGE, AND MOVING CARE

Install and store your dryer where it will not freeze. Because

some water may stay in the hose, freezing can damage

your dryer. If storing or moving your dryer during freezing

weather, winterize it.

Non-Use or Storage Care

Operate your dryer only when you are at home. If you will

be on vacation or not using your dryer for an extended

period of time, you should:

1. Unplug dryer or disconnect power.
2. Clean lint screen. See “Cleaning the Lint Screen.”
3. Turn off the water supply to the dryer. This helps to

avoid unintended flooding (due to a water pressure

surge) while you are away.

Moving Care

1.
Unplug the power supply cord.
2. Gas models only: Close shutoff valve in gas supply line.

remove fittings attached to dryer pipe.
