6. Operating Instructions

This semi-automatic washing machine is designed for simple operation:

1. Load Laundry: Open the lid and place your clothes into the tub. Do not exceed the 2 kg (4.4 lb) load capacity. This machine is ideal for light items such as underwear, socks, baby clothes, towels, and small T-shirts.
2. Add Water: Fill the tub with the appropriate amount of water. Ensure the water level covers the clothes.
3. Add Detergent: Add a small amount of laundry detergent. Due to the machine's size and efficiency, only a minimal amount is needed to prevent excessive suds.
4. Set Timer: Close the lid. Turn the knob/timer clockwise to select your desired washing time, up to 15 minutes. The machine will start automatically.
5. Washing Cycle: The machine will agitate the clothes using high-frequency vibration. Once the set time expires, the machine will automatically stop.
6. Drain Water: Place the drain hose into a sink or bucket, or remove the drain plug to release the water.
7. Rinse (Optional): For rinsing, refill the tub with clean water (without detergent) and run another short cycle (e.g., 3-5 minutes). Drain the water again. Repeat if necessary.
8. Remove Laundry: Once draining is complete, remove your clean laundry. Note that this machine does not have a spin-dry function, so clothes will be wet and require wringing or air drying.

Proper maintenance will extend the life of your washing machine:

• Cleaning: After each use, rinse the tub with clean water and wipe it dry with a soft cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Drain Hose: Ensure the drain hose is clear of debris.
• Storage: When not in use, collapse the machine for compact storage. Ensure it is completely dry before collapsing and storing in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
