IMPORTANT - GROUNDING METHOD

This appliance must be grounded. In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for electric current. This appliance is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

WARNING - Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of ﬁ re, electric shock and/or injury to persons associated with the appliance. Check with a qualiﬁ ed electrician or serviceman if you are in doubt as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.

IMPORTANT - MÉTHODE POUR LA MISE À LA TERRE

Cet appareil doit être mis à la terre. En cas de dysfonctionnement ou de panne, la mise à la terre réduira le risque de choc électrique en fournissant un chemin de moindre résistance au courant électrique. Cet appareil est équipé d’un cordon muni d’un conducteur de mise à la terre et d’une ﬁ che de mise à la terre. La ﬁ che doit être branchée dans une prise appropriée correctement installée et mise à la terre conformément à tous les codes et ordonnances locaux.

AVERTISSEMENT - Une connexion incorrecte du conducteur de mise à la terre de l’équipement peut entraîner un risque d’incendie, de choc électrique et / ou de blessure pour les personnes associées à l’appareil. Vériﬁ ez auprès d’un électricien ou d’un technicien quali- ﬁ é si vous avez des doutes quant à la mise à la terre de l’appareil.

Important Safety Information READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

SAFETY 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 ﬂ ammable or explosive substances, as they give off va- pours that could ignite or explode.

• Do not add gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, or other ﬂ ammable 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 ﬂ ow from each for several minutes. This will release any accumulated hydrogen gas. As the gas is ﬂ ammable, do not smoke or use an open ﬂ ame during this time.

• Before you throw away your old portable washer, remove the lid to reduce the risk of child entrapment.

• Do not allow children to operate, play on or in, or crawl inside the appliance. Close supervision of children is necessary when the washer is used near children.

• Before the appliance is removed from service or dicarded, remove the lid.

• Do not reach into the washer if the agitator or inner tub are moving.

• Do not tamper with controls.

• Do not repair or replace any part of the washer or attempt any servicing unless speciﬁ cally rec- ommended in the user-maintenance instructions or in published user-repair instructions that you understand and have the skills to carry out.

• Do not place the washer in steamy rooms or where the washer is directly exposed to moisture. Moisture may destroy the electrical insulation causing an electrical shock hazard.

• Do not store, use gasoline, or any other ﬂ ammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other portable washer. The fumes can create a ﬁ re hazard or explosion.

• If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or it’s service agent or a similar qualiﬁ ed person in order to avoid a hazard.

• Turn off water supply whenever there will be an extended period of non-use.

• Do not operate the washer when the water pressure is lower than 7 PSI or higher than 0.5MPa to avoid damage of the inlet system.

DANGER: Risk of child entrapment. Children must be supervised around this appliance. Ensure that the lid is removed before discarding this appliance.

Carefully (with the help of another person), lay the unit on its back. Install the rollers into the bottom of the base as depicted.

• Return the machine to the upright position. When the machine is positioned for operation set the height of the adjustment foot slightly higher than the front roller to prevent movement of the machine during wash and spin operation.

• Two inlet hoses

• One Quick Connect faucet adapter

• One noise proof plate and screws

• Four rollers

You will need the following tools to install the washer:

• Wrench

• Pliers

• Screwdriver

1. Remove shipping brace. Save the shipping brace and use it to prevent damage to washer components whenever washer is moved or transported to a new location. The shipping brace is a small plastic brace that is adhered to the packing styrofoam.

2. Clean the interior surface with lukewarm water using a soft cloth.

3. Allow 2 inches of space between the back and sides of the appliance.

• 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 certiﬁ ed electrician.

• Plug the washer into an exclusive, properly installed-grounded wall outlet.

• Don’t use excessively hot water (50°C / 122°F 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.

• Put your laundry into the washer evenly. Uneven laundry may cause noise or vibration.

LOCATION

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

• A hard level surface.

• Away from direct sunlight. Direct sunlight may affect the acrylic coating, plastic and electrical components.

• Adequate ventilation.

• Away from sources of heat such as ﬁ replaces or stoves.

• 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 ﬂ oor.

Installation Instructions

WATER SUPPLY

Water can be supplied to the unit in two different ways depending on what water hook ups are available to use. Water supply faucets must ﬁ t standard 3/4 inch (19.05 mm) female garden hose cou- plings. Do not use slip-on or clamp-on connections as the water pressue may cause them to leak.

Using the Quick Connect

If there is only one water supply line available you can use the Quick Connect system to provide water to the unit. For a single line installation the Quick Connect should be connected to the cold water faucet and the inlet hose should be connected to the cold water inlet on the back of the unit.

To attach the Quick Connect to the faucet, follow the steps below:

Hold down the plate of the inlet hose connector and disconnect the tap connector from the inlet

IMPORTANT: Ensure that you turn off the water supply before disconnecting the Quick Connect or inlet hoses.

POSITIONING THE DRAIN HOSE

Connect the drain hose to the water outlet of the washing machine then fasten it with a hose clamp. Vertical drainage is available only, the drain hose can be put in the basin or bathtub, as long as the drain hose range is 0.7 m (70 cm) low to 1.2 m (120 cm) high.

CONNECTING THE POWER CORD

Make sure the power socket is a grounded socket and a 15 amp fuse. Never attempt to disable or remove the grounding prong of the power plug.

Warning:

• The plug is a 3 prong grounding plug, do not tamper with or modify the plug. If your electrical outlet is not equipped to take a 3 prong grounded plug, please call a certiﬁ ed technician or electrician to upgrade your plug outlet.

• Never try and connect the grounding wire of the washing machine with a gas pipe, water pipe, or any other power cord.

• Do not use if the unit has a damaged power cord.

Note:

• If you open the lid while the machine is running, all operations will be stopped within 7 seconds, operation will resume when the lid is closed.

• Unplug the power cord if there is a strange noise, smell or smoke coming from the unit. Call for service.
