?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 appliance.
? 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 tub is moving.
? Do not install or store this appliance where it will be exposed to the weather.
? 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 that
you understand and have the skills to carry out.
? 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.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
? BEFORE USING YOUR APPLIANCE
? Remove the exterior and interior packing.
? You will need the following tools:
? Wrench
? Pliers
? Phillips Head Screwdriver
? Check to be sure you have all of the following parts:
? 2 Inlet Hoses
? 2 Faucet Adapters
? 4 Plastic Covers
? 1 Instruction Manual
? Clean the interior surface with lukewarm water using a soft cloth.
? Allow 2 inches of space between the back and sides of the appliance.
WRENCH
? Put your laundry into the washer evenly. Uneven laundry may cause noise or vibration.
? 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 washing machine, select a location with the following characteristics:
? A hard level surface (if the surface is uneven, see Adjusting The Leveling Legs).
? Away from direct sunlight. Direct sunlight may affect the acrylic coating, plastic and electrical
components.
? Adequate ventilation.
? Room temperature that will not fall below 0? .
? 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 LEVELING LEGS
If the floor is uneven adjust the legs (do not insert pieces of wood, or any
other objects under the feet) as following:
? Loosen the leg bolt by turning it with your hand until it is at the desired
height.
? Tighten the locking nut by turning it in the reverse direction with the
wrench.
Place the washer on a sturdy flat surface.
If the washer is placed on an uneven or weak surface, noise or vibration
occurs (Allowable is 1°).
? REMOVING THE SHIPPING BOLTS
For transportation reason, the suspended part located inside the washing
machine is locked by four shipping bolts and screws. Before using the
washing machine, remove the four shipping bolts as following:
? Loosen all bolts with the wrench before removing them.
? Take each bolt head and pull it out. Repeat for each bolt.
? Fill the holes with the supplied plastic covers.
? Keep the shipping bolts for future use.
? 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 shown in the figures below. If none of these faucets are available, use
the faucet adapter provided.
9
The end of faucet spout should be longer than 10mm (0.4”), or the connector cannot be fixed properly.
Water leakage could develop.
? Connect the water inlet hoses to the connectors in water inlet valves by turning the connecting
nuts.
? Connect the other ends of water inlet hoses to the faucets by turning the connecting nuts.
? If you have both cold and hot water supplied, please make sure to connect the inlet hoses by cold
to cold and hot to hot.
NOTE: Be sure the rubber rings are inside the connecting nuts.
? WATER CONNECTION
For normal kitchen-sink tap only use the inlet hose with cold water inlet.
Connect the inlet hose to the male hose thread adapter by turning it clockwise to be fixed tightly.
Make sure to insert the rubber ring enclosed. Then connect tightly to your sink.
Note: Some faucets may require you to also use the female hose thread adapter between the male
adapter and your sink faucet as shown below. Make sure the rubber ring is inserted and
connect to your sink.
If water leaks from faucet connection or washer connection, turn off water and
tighten fully using a wrench. Be careful not to over tighten and damage water
connection. Turn on water supply and make sure no leaks are present.

GROUNDING
? POSITIONING THE DRAI N HOSE
The end of the drain hose may be positioned as following two ways:
? Over the edge of a sink
The drain hose must be placed at a height of between 0.6 ~ 0.9 m. To keep the drain hose spout
bent, use the supplied plastic hose guide. Secure the guide to the wall with a hook or to the
faucet with a piece of string to prevent the drain hose from
moving.
? In a drain pipe
We recommend you use a vertical pipe with height between 0.6 ~
0.9 m. The inside diameter of the drain pipe must be larger than
the outside diameter of the drain hose.
NOTE: The outlet of the drain hose must be in the height of 0.6 ~ 0.9
m above floor level, otherwise, the washing machine cannot work
normally.

damaged, have it replaced by an authorized Avanti Products service center.
This portable washer should be properly grounded for your safety.
