After Washing

The buzzer will beep after washing finishes, and the power supply will be cut off automatically. At this point, you may unload the laundry.

Washing matters needing attention

Before washing, please check the clothes labels and the detergent usage instructions. Use low-density detergent suitable for washing machines.

Clothing preparation steps illustrated:

• Check the label.
• Take items out of the pockets.
• Tie tassels into knots, fasten zippers and buttons.
• Put small clothes into a laundry net.
• Turn clothes inside out that easily form fiber on their surface or have long strands of fiber.
• Segregate clothes with varying textures or materials.

⚠️ Warning!

• Washing a single piece of clothing may cause severe unbalance and consequently sound an alarm. In this case, it is suggested to add one or two more pieces of clothing to the wash load that will also make spinning smoother.
• Do not wash clothes stained with kerosene, gasoline, alcohol, or other flammable materials.

The usage of detergent and washing powder

• For powder detergent that can form into clusters or masses, it is suggested to dilute the detergent with some water before pouring into the detergent box. This will prevent the inlet of the detergent box from clogging and water from overflowing during the filling process.
• Choose the type of detergent suitable for top-loading WM to get the best washing effect with less water and energy consumption.
