BEFORE USING YOUR WASHER

Remove the exterior and interior packing.

You will need the following tools:

 Wrench
 Pliers
 Screwdrivers (Flat Head and Phillips Head)
 Level
Water Inlet Hoses (Not Included with your washer)

Check to be sure you have all of the following parts:

1 Drain Hose Assembly

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 sides and 6 inches at the back 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 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
washer is installed on a carpeted floor. It is recommended
that you place your 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.
WARNING:
DO NOT install your washer in areas where water may freeze, because your
washer always retains some water in its water valve, pump and hose areas. Frozen
water can damage the belts, pump, hoses and other components.
NEVER install your washer on a platform or weakly supported structure.
