GE CleanSpeak GTD81ESPJMC, Installation Instructions Manual

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 

is inserted to allow both inlet hoses to make that 

connection at the same time.

NOTE: 

Use the 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

.  Ensure the rubber flat washer is in place and 

attach one female coupling of the short hose 

onto the washer fill valve connector. Tighten by 

hand until firmly seated.

3

.  Attach one male end of the “Y” connector to the 

other female coupling of the short hose. Ensure 
the rubber flat 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 is 

already 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

.  Ensure the rubber flat washer is in place and 

attach the 

dryer’s

 long inlet hose to one male 

end of the ‘’Y’’ connector. Tighten by hand until 

firmly seated.

6

.  Ensure the rubber flat washer is in 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.

WATER SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS

Hot and cold water faucets MUST be installed 

within 42 in. (107 cm) of your washer’s water 

inlet. The faucets MUST be 3/4 in. (1.9 cm) garden 

hose-type so inlet hoses can be connected. Water 

pressure MUST be between 10 and 120 pounds 

per square inch. Your water department can 

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 is very hard.
