IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

PLIERS

SCREWDRIVER

?WARNING?

To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or injury when using your portable washer, follow these basic precautions:

? Read all instructions before using the portable washer. ? Do not wash articles that have been previously cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with

gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, or other flammable or explosive substances, as they give off vapors that could ignite or explode.

? Do not add gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, or other flammable or explosive substances to the

wash water. These substances give off vapours that could ignite or explode.

? Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in a hot-water system that has not been

used for 2 weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. If the hot-water system has not been used for such a period, before using a washing machine, turn on all hot -water faucets and let water flow from each for several minutes. This will release any accumulated hydrogen gas. As the

gas is flammable, do not smoke or use an open flame during this time.

? DANGER or WARNING: Risk of child entrapment.

Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of the past. Junked or abandoned appliances are still dangerous . . . even if they will “just sit in the garage a few days.”

? Before you throw away your old portable washer: Take off the lid. ? Never allow children to operate, play with, or crawl inside the portable washer. Close supervision

of children is necessary when the washer is used near children.

? Do not reach into the washer if the agitator or inner tub is moving. ? Do not tamper with controls. ? Do not repair or replace any part of the washer or attempt any servicing unless specifically

recommended in the user-maintenance instructions or in published user-repair instructions.

? Never clean portable washer parts with flammable fluids. The fumes can create a fire hazard or

explosion.

? Do not place the washer in steamy rooms or where the washer is directly exposed to rain.

Moisture may destroy the electrical insulation causing an electrical shock hazard.

? Do not store, use gasoline, or any other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any

other portable washer. The fumes can create a fire hazard or explosion.

? If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent or a

similar qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.

? Don’t use excessively hot water (50°C or more). Plastic parts may be deformed or damaged.

Also, clothing may be deformed or bleached.

? Before washing, check all pockets. If nails or pins remain in pockets, they may damage the

washer or clothes.

? Never splash water on the control panel. ? Plug the washer into an exclusive properly installed-grounded wall outlet. Do not under any

circumstances cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord. Any questions concerning power and/or grounding should be directed toward a certified electrician or an authorized Avanti Products service center.

SELECTING A LOCATION

Before you install the portable washer, select a location with the following characteristics:

? A hard level surface (if the surface is uneven, see Adjusting The Adjustable

Foot).

? Away from direct sunlight. Direct sunlight may affect the acrylic coating,

plastic and electrical components.

? Adequate ventilation. ? Away from sources of heat such as coal or gas. Make sure that the

washing machine does not stand on its power cord. Ventilation openings must not be obstructed by carpeting when the portable washer is installed

on a carpeted floor.

ADJUSTING THE ADJUSTABLE FOOT

If the floor is uneven adjust the adjustable foot (do not insert pieces of wood, or any other objects under the feet). Loosen the adjustable foot by turning the level adjustable knob with your hand until it is at the desired height. Tighten the adjustable foot by turning the level adjustable knob in the reverse direction.

CONNECTING THE WATER SUPPLY HOSE

The water supply hose must be connected to the washing machine at one end and to the water faucet at the other. Do not stretch the water supply hose. If the hose is too short and you do not wish to move the water faucet, replace the hose with a longer, high-pressure hose. Select appropriate faucet as show n in the figures below. If none of these faucets are available, use the faucet adapter provided. The end of faucet spout should be longer than 10mm (0.4”), or the connector cannot be fixed properly.

Water leakage could develop.
