Setup

Placement:

Water Connection:

Connect the provided water inlet hose to a faucet. Insert the other end of the hose into the water inlet port on the washing machine. Alternatively, water can be poured directly into the wash tub using a bucket.

Drain Connection:

Position the drain hose to allow for gravity drainage into a suitable drain. The machine features a built-in drain pump to assist with water removal.

Operating Instructions

Washing Cycle:

1. Load clothes into the wash tub. Do not exceed the 18lbs capacity.
2. Add water to the desired level.
3. Add appropriate laundry detergent.
4. Select the desired wash mode (Gentle or Normal) using the Wash Selector knob.
5. Set the Wash Timer for the desired duration (up to 15 minutes). The machine will begin washing.

Rinsing Cycle:

1. Once the wash cycle is complete, turn the Wash Selector to 'Drain' to remove the dirty water.
2. Refill the wash tub with clean water.
3. Repeat steps 4 and 5 from the Washing Cycle for rinsing. Typically, 3-4 minutes is sufficient for rinsing.

Spin Drying Cycle:

1. Transfer the wet clothes from the wash tub to the spin tub. Ensure clothes are evenly distributed.
2. Place the spin cap firmly on top of the clothes in the spin tub to prevent items from flying out.
3. Close the spin tub lid.
4. Set the Spin Timer for the desired duration (up to 5 minutes). The machine will begin spinning.
5. After spinning, remove the clothes. They will be damp and can be air-dried or placed in a conventional dryer.

Maintenance

Cleaning the Lint Filter:

Regularly remove and clean the lint filter located inside the wash tub. This prevents lint buildup and ensures efficient washing.

Exterior Cleaning:

Wipe the exterior of the machine with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the surface.

Storage:

When not in use, ensure the machine is drained completely and stored in a dry, well-ventilated area.
