?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 a djustable 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 indicated.

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.
