BEFORE USING YOUR PORTABLE WASHER
 Remove the exterior and interior packing.
 You will need the following tools:

 2 Inlet Hoses
 1 Faucet Adapters
 1 Noise Proof Plate With Screws

 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.
 Put your laundry into the washer evenly. Uneven laundry may cause noise or vibration.
 DO NOT use excessively hot water (122ºF / 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 section on the next page).
 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. It is recommended
that you place your portable washer on a hard material floor such as tile,
concrete, linoleum and to avoid if at all possible placement on wooden floors
or carpeted areas.
