BEFORE USING YOUR
PORTABLE WASHER
(con’t)

• 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.

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.

LEVELING LEGS

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 depicted.

• 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.
