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.

■ Do not 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.

JETTED SINK CARE

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.

Jet Speed Control

Water pressure in the jetted sink may be adjusted from a very high agitation (H) to a low, swirling action (L) by turning the jet speed control dial.

Normal Sounds

Your jetted sink may make sounds that are unfamiliar to you. The normal sounds are:

During washing

You will hear the sound of the pump and motor operating.

During draining

You will hear the sound of water draining from the sink.

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.

To winterize your jetted sink:

IMPORTANT: The jetted sink must be filled to a level above the

suction cover.

1. Fill the jetted sink with an R.V.-type antifreeze solution to just above the suction cover.

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

3. Unplug jetted sink or disconnect power.

4. Shut off the water faucet.

5. Disconnect the water inlet hoses from faucets and then drain.

To use your jetted sink again:

1. Flush the water pipes.

2. Reconnect the water inlet hoses to faucets.

3. Turn on both water faucets.

4. Plug in jetted sink or reconnect power.

5. Run the jetted sink through a 10-minute cycle with ¹⁄₄ the

normal recommended amount of detergent to clean out the antifreeze.
