Setup

Before operating the washing machine, ensure it is placed on a stable, level surface. Connect the water inlet hose and position the drain hose correctly.

Water Connection

• Attach the provided 48-inch inlet hose to a suitable water source (e.g., faucet).
• Insert the other end of the inlet hose into the 'WATER INLET' port on the washing machine.
• Ensure all connections are secure to prevent leaks.

Drainage Setup

• The machine utilizes a gravity drainage system. The 20-inch outlet hose must be positioned lower than the machine's base for effective draining.
• Direct the drain hose into a sink, bathtub, or floor drain. Ensure it is secured to prevent accidental displacement during draining.
• The drain hose can be hung up using the integrated bracket when not in use.

Operating Instructions

Washing Cycle

1. Load Laundry: Open the lid of the washing tub (left side). Place up to 12 lbs of dry laundry into the tub. Do not overload.
2. Add Water: Fill the washing tub with water using the inlet hose or manually. Ensure water level covers the clothes.
3. Add Detergent: Add a small amount of laundry detergent directly into the washing tub. Use sparingly to avoid excessive suds.
4. Select Wash Setting: Turn the 'WASH SELECTOR' dial to 'SOFT' for delicate items or 'NORMAL' for regular loads.
5. Set Wash Timer: Turn the 'WASH TIMER' dial to the desired wash time (0-15 minutes). The machine will start automatically.
6. Drain Water: Once the wash cycle is complete, turn the 'WASH SELECTOR' dial to 'DRAIN' to empty the water from the tub.

Spinning Cycle

1. Transfer Laundry: Carefully transfer the washed laundry from the washing tub to the spinning tub (right side). Ensure clothes are evenly distributed and do not exceed 8 lbs.
2. Secure Safety Cover: Place the safety cover over the clothes in the spinning tub and close the spin lid.
3. Set Spin Timer: Turn the 'SPIN TIMER' dial to the desired spin time (0-5 minutes). The machine will start spinning.
4. Remove Laundry: Once the spin cycle is complete, the machine will stop. Open the lid and carefully remove the spun laundry. Clothes will be damp, not completely dry.
