How do I clean the lint filter?
Gently push the tab down and outward to remove the lint filter. Clean it under running water, then reinstall by sliding it back into place.
What do the error codes mean?
E1: Water supply issue (no water, valve timeout, or clog). E2: Drain pump malfunction. E3: Lid open during operation. E4: Unbalanced load. FD: Door lock problem. F8: Water level sensor fault. Consult manual for details.
How do I use the delay start feature?
After selecting your wash program, press the Delay button repeatedly to set a delay time from 1 to 24 hours. The display will show the delay time. Close the lid and press Start/Pause. The washer will begin after the delay.

CONNECTING THE WATER SUPPLY HOSES

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.Avanti W511 - CONNECTING THE WATER SUPPLY HOSES - 1Be sure a rubber ring is inside 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.Avanti W511 - CONNECTING THE WATER SUPPLY HOSES - 2

If you have both cold and hot water supplied, connect the inlet hoses by matching cold to cold and hot to hot.

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 WATER SUPPLY HOSES

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.

CONNECTING NUT

POSITIONING THE DRAIN HOSE

Connect the drain hose to the water outlet of the washing machine then fasten it with the included spring clamp. 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 2.25 – 4 feet above floor level, otherwise, the washer cannot work normally.

Warning

Improper use of the grounded plug can result in the risk of electrical shock. If the power cord is damaged, have it replaced by an authorized Avanti Products service center.

This appliance should be properly grounded for your safety. The power cord of this appliance 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. For personal safety, this appliance must be properly grounded.

Insure proper ground exists before use

This appliance requires a standard 115/120 Volt AC \~/60Hz

electrical ground outlet with three-prong. Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the outlet is properly grounded. When a standard 2-prong wall outlet is encountered, it is your responsibility and obligation to have it replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet.

The cord should be secured behind the appliance and not left exposed or dangling to prevent accidental injury.

The appliance should always be plugged into its own individual electrical outlet which has a voltage rating that matches the rating label on the appliance. This provides the best performance and also prevent overloading house wiring circuits that could cause a fire hazard from overheated. Never unplug the appliance by pulling the power cord. Always grip the plug firmly and pull straight out from the receptacle. Repair or replace immediately all power cords that have become frayed or otherwise damaged. Do not use a cord that shows cracks or abrasion damage along its length or at either end. When moving the appliance, be careful not to damage the power cord.

EXTENSION CORD

Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, it is strongly recommended that you do not use an extension cord with this appliance. However, if you must use an extension cord it is absolutely necessary that it be a UL/CUL-Listed, 3-wire grounding type appliance extension cord having a grounding type plug and outlet and that the electrical rating of the cord be 115 volts and at least 10 amperes.

SURGE PROTECTOR

Most electrical appliances use a series of electric control boards to operate. These boards are very susceptible to power surges and could be damaged or destroyed.

If the appliance is going to be used in an area or if your city / country is prone to power surges / outages; it is suggested that you use a power surge protector for all electrical devices / appliances you use. The surge protector that you select must have a surge block high enough to protect the appliance it is connected to. If you have any questions regarding the type and size of surge protector needed contact a licensed electrician in your area.

Damages due to power surges are not considered a manufacturer covered defect and will void your product warranty.

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.

WATER LEVEL RightWrong

Make sure that you follow all manufacturer instructions for washing:
