? 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 washing machine, select a location with the following characteristics:
? A hard level surface (if the surface is uneven, see Adjusting The Leveling Legs).
? Away from direct sunlight. Direct sunlight may affect the acrylic coating, plastic and electrical
components.
? Adequate ventilation.
? Room temperature that will not fall below 0?.
? 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 LEVELING LEGS
If the floor is uneven adjust the legs (do not insert pieces of wood, or any
other objects under the feet) as following:
? Loosen the leg bolt by turning it with your hand until it is at the desired
height.
? Tighten the locking nut by turning it in the reverse direction with the
wrench.
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°).
? REMOVING THE SHIPPING BOLTS
For transportation reason, the suspended part located inside the washing
machine is locked by four shipping bolts and screws. Before using the
washing machine, remove the four shipping bolts as following:
? Loosen all bolts with the wrench before removing them.
? Take each bolt head and pull it out. Repeat for each bolt.
? Fill the holes with the supplied plastic covers.
? Keep the shipping bolts for future use.
? CONNECTING THE WATER SUPPLY HOSE
The water supply hose must be connected to the washing machine at one end and to the water faucet
at the other. Do not stretch the water supply hose. If the hose is too short and you do not wish to
move the water faucet, replace the hose with a longer, high-pressure hose.
Select appropriate faucet as shown in the figures below. If none of these faucets are available, use
the faucet adapter provided.
