6. Operating Instructions
Follow these steps for washing and spin-drying your laundry:
- Load Laundry: Open the lid and place your small laundry items into the washer. Do not exceed the 16L capacity.
- Add Water: Fill the washer with an appropriate amount of water, ensuring clothes are submerged but not overflowing. Use cold or warm water as suitable for your garments.
- Add Detergent: Add a small amount of liquid or powder detergent. For best results, use detergent suitable for delicate or small loads.
- Select Wash Mode: Close the lid. Press the power button to turn on the machine. Use the timer buttons (3-minute, 5-minute, or 10-minute) to select your desired wash cycle. The machine will start automatically.
- Rinse (Manual): After the wash cycle completes, drain the soapy water using the drain hose. Refill the washer with clean water for rinsing. You may run a short 3-minute cycle to agitate the clothes in clean water, then drain again. Repeat if necessary.
- Spin-Dry: After rinsing and draining, insert the removable spin-dry basket into the washer. Place the wet clothes into the basket. Close the lid and select the 3-minute spin cycle. This will help remove excess water. Note that this is a partial spin-dry and clothes will still be damp.
- Unload: Once the spin cycle is complete, remove the clothes and hang them to air dry.
