Connect Water Inlet: Attach the water inlet hose to a suitable faucet. The other end of the hose connects to the water inlet port on the left side of the control panel.
Position Drain Hose: Place the drain hose in a sink, bathtub, or other suitable drainage area. Ensure the hose is not kinked or submerged in water during operation to prevent siphoning.
Power Connection: Plug the power cord into a grounded 110V electrical outlet.

6. Operating Instructions

6.1. Washing Cycle

Load Clothes: Open the lid of the wash tub and place clothes inside. Do not overload; ensure clothes can move freely.
Add Detergent: Pour the recommended amount of laundry detergent directly into the wash tub.
Fill with Water: Turn on the faucet connected to the water inlet hose. Fill the wash tub to the desired water level.
Set Wash Timer: Rotate the 'Wash Timer' knob to select the desired wash time (up to 15 minutes).
Select Wash Mode: Turn the 'Wash Selector' knob to 'Normal' for regular loads or 'Gentle' for delicate items. The machine will begin washing.

6.2. Draining Water

Once the wash cycle is complete, set the 'Wash Selector' knob to 'Drain'. The dirty water will begin to drain through the drain hose.
Ensure the drain hose is positioned correctly to direct water to a suitable drain.

6.3. Spin Cycle

Transfer Clothes: Move the washed clothes from the wash tub to the spin tub. Distribute them evenly to prevent imbalance.
Place Spin Cap: Firmly press the white spin cap onto the clothes in the spin tub to prevent items from flying out during spinning.
Set Spin Timer: Rotate the 'Spin Timer' knob to select the desired spin time (up to 5 minutes). The spin cycle will begin.
After the spin cycle, remove the clothes. They will be damp but significantly drier than after washing.

7. Maintenance

7.1. Cleaning the Machine

Wipe the exterior of the machine with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
Clean the interior of the wash and spin tubs regularly to prevent residue buildup.
Periodically check and clean the lint filter, typically located at the bottom of the wash tub, to ensure efficient operation.
