To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or injury when using your portable washer, follow these basic precautions: ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? 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 us e an open flame during this time. DANGER or WARNING: 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 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 w asher 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 its service agent or a similar qualified person in order to avoid a hazard. -Save these instructions - INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Before Using Your Portable Washer SCREWDRIVER ? Remove the exterior and interior packing. ? You will need the following tools: ? Wrench ? Pliers ? Screwdriver ? Check to be sure you have all of the following parts: PLIERS WRENCH ? 2 Inlet Hoses ? 2 Faucet Adapters ? 1 Noise Proof Plate With Screws ? 4 Casters ? Remove shipping brace. Note - It should be saved and used (to prevent damage to washer components) whenever washer is moved or transported to a new location. ? Clean the interior surface with lukewarm water using a soft cloth. ? Allow 2 inches of space between the back and sides of the appliance. 7 ? ? ? ? ? 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 or an authorized Avanti Products service center. 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. Adjusting The Adjustable Foot 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 position ed 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. 545 mm CORRECT INCORRECT 55 INCORRECT LEVEL ADJUSTABLE KNOB ADJUSTABLE FOOT Adjustable foot Caster Caster Fixed foot LOOSEN TIGHTEN Fixed foot Caster Caster Fixed foot 8 0m m 8 60 m m Installing The Noise Proof Plate Take the noise proof plate out of the package .
