2. Drain Hose: Position the drain hose to direct water into a sink, bucket, or drain. Ensure the drain hose is elevated a few inches off the floor to allow for proper drainage, as it features a built-in pump.

4. Operating Instructions

4.1. Washing Clothes

1. Load Clothes: Open the wash tub lid and place clothes inside. Do not overload the tub; ensure clothes can move freely. The wash tub has a capacity of 14.4 lbs.
2. Add Water and Detergent: Connect the inlet hose to a faucet and turn on the water, or manually pour water into the wash tub using a bucket. Add the recommended amount of laundry detergent.
3. Set Wash Mode: Turn the 'Wash Selector' knob to 'Normal' for regular loads or 'Gentle' for delicate items.
4. Set Wash Time: Turn the 'Wash Timer' knob to your desired wash duration (up to 15 minutes). The machine will begin washing.

4.2. Rinsing Clothes

1. Drain Dirty Water: Once the wash cycle is complete, turn the 'Wash Selector' knob to 'Drain' to empty the dirty water from the wash tub.
2. Refill with Clean Water: Add clean water to the wash tub. You may add a small amount of fabric softener if desired.
3. Rinse Cycle: Set the 'Wash Timer' for a shorter duration (e.g., 3-5 minutes) and the 'Wash Selector' to 'Normal' or 'Gentle' to rinse the clothes. Repeat this step 2-3 times for thorough rinsing.

4.3. Spinning Clothes

1. Transfer Clothes: Carefully transfer the wet, rinsed clothes from the wash tub to the spin tub. Do not overload the spin tub (max 6.6 lbs). Ensure clothes are evenly distributed.
2. Place Spin Cap: Firmly place the white spin cap on top of the clothes in the spin tub to prevent small items from spinning out and falling to the bottom.
3. Set Spin Time: Close the spin tub lid and turn the 'Spin Timer' knob to your desired duration (up to 5 minutes). The spin cycle will begin, removing excess water.

4.4. Draining Water from Spin Tub

• After the spin cycle, the water will be pumped out through the drain hose. Ensure the drain hose is positioned correctly to direct the water to a suitable drain.

5. Maintenance

Cleaning the Lint Filter:

1. The lint filter is located inside the wash tub.
2. After each wash, remove the lint filter by gently pulling it out.
3. Clean any accumulated lint or debris from the filter under running water.
4. Reinsert the clean lint filter back into its slot until it clicks into place.

General Cleaning:

• Wipe the exterior of the machine with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
