Setup Instructions

1. Unboxing and Inspection

Carefully remove the washing machine from its packaging. Inspect the unit for any signs of damage. The machine must be tested before leaving the factory, so some water stains may remain inside. This is a normal phenomenon.

2. Placement

Place the washing machine on a flat, stable surface. Its compact design allows it to fit in various locations such as bathrooms, dorm rooms, RVs, or camping setups. Ensure there is enough space for the drain hose and water inlet hose.

3. Connecting Hoses

• Water Inlet Hose: Connect the water inlet hose to a faucet and to the designated water inlet port on the washing machine.
• Drain Hose: Position the extended drain hose to direct wastewater into a sink or drain. Ensure the hose is not kinked or obstructed. For optimal draining, the machine may need to be slightly elevated.

4. Power Connection

Plug the power cord into a grounded electrical outlet. Ensure the outlet meets the machine's power requirements.

Operating Instructions

1. Loading Laundry

Open the wash tub lid and load your clothes. Do not overload the machine; ensure clothes can move freely in the water. The washing tub has a capacity of 9.6 lbs (250W) and the spinning tub has a capacity of 6.4 lbs (140W).

Figure 3: Examples of recommended load sizes for various clothing items, such as 1 sweater, 2 jeans, 5 t-shirts, 20 underwear, or 1 quilt.

2. Adding Water and Detergent

Add the appropriate amount of water through the water inlet hose. Add laundry detergent directly into the wash tub with the clothes.

3. Setting Wash Cycle

Use the control knobs on the top panel to select your desired settings:

• Wash Timer: Turn the knob to set the wash time (up to 15 minutes).
• Wash Selector: Choose between 'Gentle' for delicate fabrics, 'Normal' for regular loads, or 'Drain' to empty the wash tub.

Figure 4: The control panel features three rotary knobs for Wash Timer, Wash Selector (Gentle, Normal, Drain), and Spin Timer.

4. Starting the Wash

Close the wash tub lid. The machine will begin agitating the clothes according to the selected settings. The robust 1300RPM motor ensures powerful cleaning.

5. Draining Water

Once the wash cycle is complete, turn the 'Wash Selector' knob to 'Drain'. The built-in drain pump will remove the dirty water through the drain hose.

6. Spinning Clothes

Transfer the washed clothes from the wash tub to the spin tub. Ensure the clothes are evenly distributed to prevent imbalance. Place the integrated spin cover over the clothes and close the spin tub lid.

• Spin Timer: Turn the knob to set the spin time (up to 5 minutes).

The spin cycle will remove excess water, significantly reducing drying time. The automatic lid lock will prevent the spin tub from operating if the lid is open.

Maintenance

1. Cleaning the Lint Filter

The wash tub includes a built-in filter net to trap lint and debris. Regularly remove and clean this filter to maintain optimal washing performance and prevent lint transfer to clothes.

2. General Cleaning

Wipe down the exterior of the machine with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents. Clean the interior of the tubs periodically to prevent residue buildup.

3. Storage

When not in use for extended periods, ensure the machine is drained completely and unplugged. Store it in a dry, well-ventilated area.

Troubleshooting

If the machine stops working, please check the following common issues before contacting support:

• Machine not starting: Ensure the power cord is securely plugged in and the timer knobs are set correctly.
• Water not draining: Check if the drain hose is positioned correctly (lower than the machine's base for gravity drain, or ensure the drain pump is active if using the 'Drain' setting). Ensure the hose is not kinked or blocked.
• Excessive shaking during spin: Redistribute clothes evenly in the spin tub. Ensure the machine is on a flat, stable surface.
• Clothes not clean: Ensure you are not overloading the machine and using the appropriate amount of detergent for the load size. Clean the lint filter regularly.
