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 fire, electric shock and/or injury to persons associated with the appliance. Check with a qualified 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 fiche de mise à la terre. La fiche 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. Vérifiez auprès d’un électricien ou d’un technicien qualifié 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 flammable or explosive substances, as they give off vapours 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.

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 specifically recommended 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 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 it’s service agent or a similar qualified 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.

LEVELING LEG AND ROLLERS

If the floor is uneven, adjust the levelling leg. Do not insert pieces of wood or any other objects under the foot.

Turn the nut clockwise to release the screw adjuster on the foot.

Rotate the foot to raise or lower it until it stands firmly on the ground.

Lock the foot in position by turning the nut counter-clockwise until it comes up against the bottom of the machine.

For portable applications, the washing machine comes with four North/South rollers that can easily be installed to assist in the movement of the machine to and from the sink. 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.

NOTE: Not all movement will be totally eliminated, this is normal.

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 fit standard 3/4 inch (19.05 mm) female garden hose couplings. 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 hose connector.
