Operating Instructions
Washing Cycle
- Load Clothes: Open the lid of the wash tub and place clothes inside. Do not exceed the maximum wash capacity of 5.5 lbs.

- Add Water and Detergent: Fill the wash tub with water to the desired level. Add an appropriate amount of laundry detergent.
- Set Wash Timer: Turn the "Wash Timer" knob to select the desired wash time (up to 15 minutes). The machine will start washing.
- Drain Water: Once the wash cycle is complete, turn the "Select Switch" knob to "Drain" to empty the dirty water.
- Rinse Cycle: After draining, refill the wash tub with clean water. You can either perform another short wash cycle (e.g., 5 minutes) for rinsing or manually agitate the clothes. Drain the rinse water. Repeat if necessary until clothes are free of suds.
Spin Drying Cycle
- Transfer Clothes: Carefully transfer the washed and rinsed clothes from the wash tub to the spin tub. Do not exceed the maximum spin capacity of 4.4 lbs.
- Place Spin Cap: Place the spin cap firmly on top of the clothes in the spin tub. This prevents clothes from flying out during the spin cycle.

- Completion: Once the spin cycle is complete, the machine will stop. Carefully remove the clothes.
Note: The wash and spin cycles can be operated simultaneously to save time.
Maintenance
- After Each Use:
- Ensure all water is drained from both tubs.
- Wipe the interior and exterior of the machine with a soft, damp cloth.
- Clean the lint filter regularly to maintain optimal performance.
- Storage: If storing for an extended period, ensure the machine is completely dry. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
- Do Not Use: Abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the machine's plastic components.
