4. Operating Instructions
This semi-automatic washing machine requires manual transfer of clothes between the wash and spin tubs, and manual control of water filling and draining.
Washing Cycle
- Load Laundry: Open the wash tub lid and place clothes loosely inside. Do not overload the machine beyond its 8kg capacity.
- Add Water: Turn on the water tap and fill the wash tub to the desired level. You can manually control the water temperature by mixing hot and cold water if your tap allows.
- Add Detergent: Add the appropriate amount of detergent directly into the wash tub.
- Select Wash Mode: Turn the wash timer knob to select the desired wash duration and intensity (e.g., Gentle, Normal, Strong).
- Start Washing: The pulsator will begin to agitate the clothes.
- Drain Water: Once the wash cycle is complete, turn the drain selector knob to drain the water from the wash tub.
Rinsing Cycle
- Refill Water: After draining, refill the wash tub with clean water for rinsing.
- Rinse Clothes: Run a short wash cycle (e.g., 3-5 minutes) to rinse the clothes.
- Drain Water: Drain the rinse water from the wash tub. Repeat rinsing if necessary.
Spin Cycle
- Transfer Clothes: Carefully transfer the washed and rinsed clothes from the wash tub to the spin tub. Distribute them evenly to prevent imbalance.
- Close Lid: Close the spin tub lid securely. The safety switch ensures the spin cycle only operates when the lid is closed.
- Set Spin Timer: Turn the spin timer knob to select the desired spin duration (e.g., 1-5 minutes).
- Start Spinning: The spin tub will rotate at high speed to remove excess water.
- Remove Clothes: Once the spin cycle is complete and the tub has stopped, open the lid and remove the spun clothes.
