Operating Instructions

Follow these steps for effective washing:

1. Add Water: Fill the washing machine with the appropriate amount of water. Ensure the water level covers the clothes but does not exceed the maximum fill line.
2. Add Detergent: Add a small amount of liquid detergent suitable for delicate or small loads. Avoid excessive sudsing.
3. Load Clothes: Place light clothing items such as underwear, socks, baby clothes, or small towels into the washer. Do not overload the machine; the maximum capacity is 2 kg.
4. Set Timer: Turn the timer knob to select the desired washing time, up to 15 minutes. The machine will begin agitating.
5. Washing Cycle: The machine will perform a high-frequency vibration wash. Monitor the process to ensure proper agitation.
6. Drain Water: Once the washing cycle is complete, turn the timer knob to '0' or unplug the unit. Remove the drain plug and allow the dirty water to drain completely through the hose.
7. Rinse Cycle (Optional): For rinsing, refill the machine with clean water (without detergent), place the clothes back in, and run a shorter cycle (e.g., 3-5 minutes). Drain the rinse water. Repeat if necessary.
8. Remove Clothes: After draining, remove the washed and rinsed clothes. Wring them out manually as the machine does not have a spin-dry function.
