4.1 Unpacking

Carefully remove the appliance from its packaging. Inspect for any damage during transit. Keep all packaging materials until you are satisfied with the product.

4.2 Placement

4.3 Power Connection

Connect the power cord to a standard 110V electrical outlet. Ensure the outlet is easily accessible.

4.4 Drainage Hose

Position the drainage hose to allow water to drain into a sink, bucket, or bathtub. The machine uses gravity for drainage, so the drain point must be lower than the machine's drain outlet.

5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Washing Clothes

1. Load Laundry: Open the lid of the washing tub. Place your clothes into the washing tub. Do not exceed the maximum wash-load capacity of 7.7 lbs.
2. Add Water: Fill the washing tub with water using a bucket or hose. Ensure the water level covers the clothes but does not exceed the 'H' (High) mark.
3. Add Detergent: Add the appropriate amount of laundry detergent directly into the washing tub.
4. Select Program: Turn the 'Program & Drain Selector' knob to either 'Soft' for delicate items or 'Normal' for regular clothes.
5. Set Wash Timer: Turn the 'Time Washer' knob to your desired wash time (up to 15 minutes). The machine will start automatically.
6. Drain Water: Once the wash cycle is complete, turn the 'Program & Drain Selector' knob to 'Drain' to empty the water from the washing tub.
7. Rinse (Optional): For a rinse cycle, refill the tub with clean water and set the 'Time Washer' for a few minutes. Drain the water again after rinsing.

5.2 Spin-Drying Clothes

1. Transfer Clothes: Carefully transfer the washed and rinsed clothes from the washing tub to the spin-dryer tub (the smaller compartment).
2. Distribute Evenly: Distribute the clothes evenly inside the spin-dryer tub to prevent imbalance and excessive vibration. Do not exceed the spin-dryer capacity of 3.3 lbs.
3. Secure Lid: Place the spin-dryer lid firmly on top of the clothes.
4. Set Spin Timer: Turn the 'Spin Timer' knob to your desired spin time (up to 5 minutes). The machine will start spinning.
