5. Operating Instructions
5.1 Washing Cycle
- Load Laundry: Place a small amount of delicate items (e.g., baby clothes, underwear, socks) into the washing machine. Do not overload the machine; it is designed for small loads to ensure effective cleaning and prevent damage.
- Add Water: Fill the washing machine with an appropriate amount of water. The maximum capacity is 1.2 gallons (4.5 liters). For enhanced cleaning, you may add water heated to 40°C-60°C and soak items before starting the wash cycle.
- Add Detergent: Add a small amount of suitable laundry detergent.
- Start Washing: Press and hold the power button for 2 seconds to turn on the machine. The touch button panel offers three cycle options: 1 minute, 5 minutes, or 10 minutes. Select your desired washing time by pressing the button. The machine will begin the positive and negative wave washing action.
- Monitor: The machine operates with low noise. Allow the cycle to complete.

5.2 Draining and Dehydration
- Drain Water: Once the washing cycle is complete, unplug the machine. Locate the hidden drain hole at the bottom side of the machine. Open the drain plug to allow the water to empty.
- Prepare for Dehydration: After draining, place the washed clothes into the detachable drain basket. Insert the basket into the washing machine.
- Dehydration Cycle: Close the drain plug. Plug the machine back in. Press and hold the power button for 2 seconds to turn on. Select a short cycle (e.g., 1 minute) to activate the turbine for dehydration. The turbine will spin the clothes at high speed to remove excess water.
- Remove Clothes: After the dehydration cycle, unplug the machine. Remove the drain basket and take out the clothes. Note that this function removes excess water but does not fully dry the clothes; they will still be damp and require air drying.
6. Maintenance
- Cleaning: After each use, unplug the machine and drain any remaining water. Wipe the interior and exterior surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Storage: Ensure the machine is completely dry before folding it for storage. To fold, gently push down on the top edge until the machine collapses to its compact size. Store in a cool, dry place.
- Drain Basket: Clean the drain basket regularly to prevent lint and debris buildup.
- Power Cord: Inspect the power cord periodically for any signs of damage. If damaged, discontinue use and contact customer support.
