Important Safety Information
READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
SAFETY
PRECAUTIONS
FOR YOUR SAFETY: Read these instructions carefully before operating the unit.
• 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 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: 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
it’s service agent or a similar qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.

DANGER
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 USING YOUR
PORTABLE WASHER
(con’t)
• 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.
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.
LEVELING LEGS
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.
• 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° ).
• For portable applications, the washing machine comes equipped with
four north/south casters that can easily be installed to assist in the
movement of the machine to and from the sink. Lay the unit on its back.
Install the casters 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 caster to prevent movement of the machine during
wash and spin operation.
NOTE: Not all movement will be totally eliminated, this is normal.

CONSUMPTION
IMPORTANT
Improper use of the grounded plug can result in the risk of electrical shock. If the power cord is damaged, have it replaced by an
authorized service technician.
This portable washer should be properly grounded for your safety. The
power cord of this portable washer is equipped with a three-prong plug
which mates with standard three prong wall outlets to minimize the possibility of electrical shock.
Do not under any circumstances cut or remove the third ground prong
from the power cord supplied.
This portable washer requires a standard 120 Volts~./60Hz electrical outlet
with three-prong ground.
To prevent injury the cord should be secured behind the portable washer
and not left exposed or dangling.
Never unplug the portable washer by pulling the power cord. Always grip
the plug firmly and pull straight out from the receptacle.
Do not use an extension cord with this appliance. If the power cord is too
short, have a qualified electrician or service technician install an outlet
near the appliance.

BEFORE WASHING
Prepare the wash load. Mix large and small articles in a load to get the
best washing results. Drop articles loosely into the inner tub. Do not pack
articles in or wrap them. Articles should move freely through the wash
water for best cleaning results. Articles should rollover, sink and then
reappear.
When washing very large articles, do not fill inner tub as full as with other
loads. The water level in your washer should fit the size of your wash load.
Small load will use lower water levels. There must be enough water in the
inner tub to allow articles to move and turn over freely. Overloading the
inner tub can result in poor washing and rinsing. Overloading may also
cause wrinkling and tearing of articles.
