JETTED SINK USE

The jetted sink is to be used for washing delicate clothing such as lingerie, hosiery, blouses or a single sweater.

IMPORTANT:

■ The jetted sink should not be used for bathing infants or pets.

■ The jetted sink should not be used for cleaning or soaking

unusually dirty, or clay-ridden clothing, household tools or other items that may damage the inner plumbing system and pump.

■ Do not overfill with laundry. The jetted sink is not designed to

replace a washing machine.

■ Never run the pump/motor on the jetted sink while the

suction cover is off or without water in the jetted sink. This could cause damage to the pump/motor or internal seals and could void the warranty.

Only clothing labeled as hand or machine washable should be loaded.

1 2 3

1. Pop-up drain control knob

2. On/off button

3. Jet speed control knob

NOTE: Before washing, pretreat stains on clothing according to the recommendations on the garment care label.

1. Turn the pop-up drain control knob counterclockwise to close

the drain.

2. Fill jetted sink with water to just above the suction cover. IMPORTANT:

■ The water must completely cover the suction cover.

■ The water temperature should be what is recommended

for the garments being washed.

3. Add a few drops of low-sudsing, delicate washing liquid detergent or 1 tsp. (4.9 mL) of a low-sudsing powder at any time after you have started running water into the jetted sink. You may add more if necessary.

NOTES:

■ Some delicate wash detergents foam excessively when

agitated. It may be necessary to rinse the jet system and clothing with clean water after use.

■ Do not use fabric softener.

4. Load a few small items of delicate clothing or a sweater into the jetted sink.

5. Set the jet speed control for desired water force/speed. See

“Jet Speed Control.”

6. Press the on/off button to start the pump/motor and to set

the 10-minute timer. The on/off button sets the timer to shut off automatically in 10 minutes, but the on/off button can also override the timer and stop the pump/motor at any time.

IMPORTANT: Starting the pump when there is no water in the jetted sink could result in damage to the pump or internal seals and could void the warranty.

7. After wash is finished, turn pop-up drain control knob

clockwise to open the drain.

8. Gently squeeze water from garment(s) without twisting or

wringing.

9. Close the drain again, turning the pop-up drain control knob

counterclockwise as before. Fill the jetted sink with clean water, reset the jet speed control, and push the on/off button to begin another 10-minute cycle to rinse garment(s).

10. After rinse is finished, drain the rinse water from the jetted

sink and gently squeeze water from garment without twisting or wringing. Additional water can be removed by laying garments flat on a clean, dry towel. Roll up the towel, then gently squeeze out excess water. Follow recommendations on the garment care label for drying.

2. Run the jetted sink for a 10-minute cycle.

3. Unplug jetted sink or disconnect power.

4. Shut off the water faucet.

5. Run the jetted sink through a 10-minute cycle with ¼ the

normal recommended amount of detergent to clean out the antifreeze.

Jet Speed Control

JETTED SINK CARE

Cleaning Your Jetted Sink

Acrylic is a renewable surface. If the acrylic surface is damaged, minor cuts or scratches usually can be buffed or polished out of the finish with a paste wax or automobile rubbing compound.

To clean your jetted sink:

■ Clean the acrylic surface with a mild, liquid detergent and a

damp cloth or sponge. Rinse and wipe dry with a soft cloth.

■ Do not use abrasive cleaners such as scouring cleansers or

harsh cleaning tools such as scouring pads. These can scratch or damage materials.

To flush your jetted sink:

Flush the jetted sink at least once every 90 days.

1. Fill the jetted sink with hot water and add 2 tsp. (9.8 mL) of

non-sudsing laundry detergent.

2. Run the system for 10 minutes, then drain the jetted sink.

3. Fill jetted sink with cold water and run for 10 minutes to rinse

the system, then drain the jetted sink.
