Operating Instructions

  1. Add Clothes: Place a suitable amount of small, delicate items into the washing machine. Do not overload (maximum 12L capacity).
  2. Add Water and Detergent: Fill the washer with water, ensuring the water level is less than 2/3 of the machine's height. Add an appropriate amount of detergent.
  3. Select Wash Mode: Long press the power button for 2 seconds to turn on the machine. The blue light will illuminate. Press the button repeatedly to cycle through the 3-minute (spin-drying), 5-minute (quick washing), and 10-minute (standard washing) modes. The selected mode's indicator light will be on.
  4. Start Washing: The machine will automatically start the selected wash cycle.
  5. Drain Water: Once the wash cycle is complete, open the drain plug to release the dirty water. If using the drain hose, direct it into a sink or drain.
  6. Rinse (Optional): For rinsing, close the drain plug, refill with clean water, and run a short wash cycle (e.g., 5 minutes) without detergent. Drain the water again after rinsing.
  7. Spin-Dry: After draining the water, install the draining basket inside the washer. Place the washed clothes evenly into the basket. Select the 3-minute spin-dry mode. Ensure the clothes' center of gravity is in the center of the basket to prevent instability.
