Product Overview

The Astarama Portable Mini Washing Machine is engineered for convenience and efficiency. Its unique foldable design and multiple wash modes make it a versatile solution for your small laundry needs.

Setup

1. Unfold the Washer: Gently pull up the top rim of the washing machine until it fully expands. Ensure the collapsible silicone body is fully extended and stable.
2. Connect Power: Plug the adapter into the designated port on the washing machine and then into a standard electrical outlet.
3. Position for Drainage: Place the washing machine near a sink, bathtub, or any area where water can be safely drained. Ensure the drain plug at the bottom is securely closed before adding water. If using the extended drain hose, attach it to the drain outlet.
4. Prepare for Washing: Open the lid and ensure the internal pulsator is clear of any obstructions.

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.
8. Power Off: Long press the power button for 2 seconds to turn off the machine.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: After each use, rinse the interior of the washing machine with clean water. Wipe down the exterior with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.

Troubleshooting

• Machine not turning on: Ensure the power adapter is securely plugged into both the machine and a working electrical outlet.
