2.IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
aWARNINGa
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 for several 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 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.

3.INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
¾BEFORE USING YOUR PORTABLE WASHER
•Remove the exterior and interior packing.
•You will need the following tools:
•Wrench
•Pliers
•Screwdriver
•Checktobesureyouhaveallofthefollowingparts:
2 Inlet Hoses
•1 Water Inlet Quick ConnectAssembly
•1 Connector For Faucet
•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.
•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.
¾SELECTING 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 TheAdjustable
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.
¾ADJUSTING 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.
¾INSTALLING THE NOISE PROOF PLATE
Take the noise proof
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 downthe machine
and secure the noise proof
plate by fastening the two
set screws.
¾CONNECTING 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.
If you have both cold and hot water supplied, connect the inlet hoses by matching cold to cold and
hot to hot.

6
¾DISCONNECTING 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.
¾POSITIONING 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.
¾ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
This portable washer should be properly grounded for your safety. The power cord of this portable
washer is equipped with a three-prong plug which mates with standard three prong wall outlets to
minimize the possibility of electrical shock.
Do not under any circumstances cut or remove the third ground prong
from the power cord supplied.
This portable washer requires a standard 110-120 Volts~A.C./60Hz
electrical outlet with three-prong ground.
The cord should be secured behind the portable washer and not left
exposed or dangling to prevent accidental injury.
Never unplug the portable washer by pulling the power cord. Always
grip the plug firmly and pull straight out from the receptacle.
Do not use an extension cord with this appliance. If the power cord is
too short, have a qualified electrician or service technician install an
outlet near the appliance.

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 not pack 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.
