IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
?WARNING?
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
vapors 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 forseveral minutes. This will release any accumulated hydrogen gas. As the
gas is flammable,do not smoke or use 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 washer if the agitator or inner tub ismoving.
?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 bereplaced by the manufacturer or its service agent or a
similar qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.

?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 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.

plate out of the
package .
The opening of the
noise proof plate is
at the bottom of
the machine.
Insert the noise proof
plate into the washing
machine base.
Lay down the machine
and secure the noise proof
plate by fastening the two
set screws.

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.
The end of faucet spout should be longer than 10mm (0.4”), or the connector cannot be fixed properly.
Water leakage could develop.
1. Connect the water inlet hose to the
faucet by turning the connecting nut.
2. Then connect the other end of water
inlet hose to the cold connector in
water mixing valve by turning the
connecting nut.

WATER CONNECTION
For normal kitchen-sink tap only use the inlet hose with cold water inlet.
Connect the inlet hose to the male hose thread adapter by turning it clockwise to be fixed tightly.
Make sure to insert the rubber ring enclosed. Then connect tightly to your sink.
Note: Some faucets may require you to also use the female hose thread adapter between the male
adapter and your sink faucet as shown below. Make sure the rubber ring is inserted and
connect to your sink.
If water leaks from faucet connection or washer connection, turn off water and
tighten fully using a wrench. Be careful not to over tighten and damage water
connection. Turn on water supply and make sure no leaks are present.
DISCONNECTING THE INLET HOSE
Dismantling the hose directly may cause water to splash due to the possible high water pressure in
the hose, even after the faucet has been turned off. Please take off the hose as per following steps,
even if the faucet is closed:
?Turn off the faucet.
?Turn on the power and let the machine run for about 5 seconds then turn
it off.
?Remove the connecting nuts from the faucet and washing machine.
Note: If the washing machine is frequently used, it is not necessary to dismantle
the inlet hose to avoid possible damage to the screws.
POSITIONING THE DRAIN HOSE
Connect the drain hose to the water outlet of the washing machine then fasten it
with a pinchcork. Since only up drainage is available, drain hose can be hung in
the basin or bathtub.
NOTE: The highest point of the drain hose must be in the height of 0.7-1.2m
above floor level, otherwise, the washer cannot work normally.

OPERATING YOUR PORTABLE WASHER
PREPARATION
1. Connect the water inlet hose
to the water faucet. Don’t
switch on the power if the
water pressure is lower than
0.05MPa and higher than
0.5MPa.
2. Open the water faucet.
3. Insert the plug into the
socket. For safety the plug
should have ground
connection.
4. Insert the end of drain hose
into the hook shelf, and hang
the drain hose over a drain
outlet.
5. Put the wash load into the
tub evenly.
6. Add the suitable quantity
detergent into the detergent
case.
7. Close the lid. Otherwise the
washer will not operate.
BEFORE WASHING
Prepare the wash load. Mix large and small articles in a load to get the best washing results.
Drop articles loosely into the inner tub. Do notpack articles in or wrap them. Articles should move
freely through the wash water for best cleaning results. Articles should rollover, sink and then
reappear.
When washing very large articles, do not fill inner tub as full as with other loads. The water level in
your washer should fit the size of your wash load. Small load will use lower water levels. There must
be enough water in the inner tub to allow articles to move and turn over freely. Overloading the inner
tub can result in poor washing and rinsing. Overloading may also cause wrinkling and tearing of
articles.
