6. Operating Instructions

Follow these steps for a standard wash cycle:

1. Load Clothes: Open the lid and place up to 0.8 kg of clothes into the machine. Do not overload.
2. Add Water: Fill the machine with an appropriate amount of water, ensuring clothes are submerged. You may add a small amount of detergent suitable for delicate items.
3. Select Wash Cycle: Press one of the time buttons on the control panel to select a wash duration:
   • 1 min: Quick wash for very lightly soiled items.
   • 5 min: Standard wash for everyday items.
   • 10 min: Thorough wash for more soiled items.
4. Start Washing: The machine will begin operating automatically after selecting the cycle. The turbo will rotate forward and backward alternately for effective cleaning.
5. Drain Water: Once the cycle is complete, unplug the machine and carefully tilt it to drain the water into a sink or bucket.

7. Spin Drying Function

To use the spin drying function:

1. After the wash cycle and draining the water, remove the clothes from the main tub.
2. Insert the provided draining basket into the machine.
3. Place the washed clothes into the draining basket. Ensure clothes are evenly distributed to prevent imbalance.
4. Close the lid and select a short wash cycle (e.g., 1 minute). The machine will spin the basket at high speed to remove excess water.
5. Once the spin cycle is complete, remove the clothes. They will be damp but significantly drier than after washing.

8. Maintenance and Cleaning

Regular cleaning ensures optimal performance and longevity of your washing machine:

• After Each Use: Drain all water completely. Wipe the interior and exterior surfaces with a soft, damp cloth.
• Deep Cleaning: Periodically, fill the machine with clean water and run a short cycle without clothes to rinse out any detergent residue.
• Storage: Ensure the machine is completely dry before folding and storing it in a cool, dry place.
• Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the machine's surfaces.

9. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• Machine does not start:
  • Ensure the power adapter is securely plugged into both the machine and a working electrical outlet.
  • Check if the power outlet is functional by plugging in another appliance.
• Washing performance is poor:
  • Do not overload the machine. Reduce the amount of clothing.
  • Ensure sufficient water and detergent are used.
  • Select a longer wash cycle if clothes are heavily soiled.
• Machine is noisy or vibrates excessively:
  • Ensure the machine is placed on a stable, flat surface.
  • During spin drying, ensure clothes are evenly distributed in the draining basket.
• Water does not drain:
  • Ensure the machine is tilted sufficiently to allow water to flow out.
  • Check for any obstructions in the drain opening.

If the problem persists, please contact customer support.
