Power-down memory
With the power-down memory function, the washer can
memorize the program’s running state in case of power
failure or loose plug during washing and continue the
formerly selected program after the power supply resumes.

Eccentric protection
When spinning, if the clothes are not evenly distributed, the washer will fluff out
and redistribute the clothes and continue spinning after the clothes distribution
becomes even. If the clothes distribution does not become even within the
specified time, the washer will not spin to avoid abnormal vibration. In this case,
please check the clothes for intertwist and rearrange them, then select “Spin”
program to spin the clothes. When there are few clothes, the washer may not spin
due to eccentric protection. In this case, you can put more clothes into the washer
and make them evenly distributed, then continue spinning. In addition, it is normal
that the program time will prolong because the washer rearranges and fluffs out
the clothes.

Silencing function
Select the “Spin” program, simultaneously press the “Delay” and “Extra rinse”
buttons and hold them for 3 seconds, the beep of all the programs (excluding the
alarm sound) will be silenced and the display screen will show “ ”.
Simultaneously press the two buttons and hold them for 3 seconds again, the
beep of all the programs will resume and the display screen will show “ ”.

to reselect a program, turn it on again.
(2) To select any additional function when a program is
running, just press the “Start/Pause” button, then select your
desired additional function and finally press the
“Start/Pause” again.

Warm tips
To add clothes during washing or to take out clothes
after extended power failure, make sure that the
water level in the drum is properly below the lower
edge of sight glass, the water temperature is below

the drain pipe from its holder and put it down until no
water is drained from the drain pipe, afterwards put
back the drain pipe. Open the filter door at the bottom
of washer, and you will see a pull wire. Take out the
pull wire and gently pull it downwards until you hear a
low sound, the door will open, now you can add or
take out the clothes. Afterwards, reset the pull wire
and filter door.

Pull wire

Note:

Never perform the above operations when the washer is running.

The washer contains recyclable materials. Please properly dispose of them to protect
the environment.
Adding a proper amount of softener may make the clothes soft, eliminate sticking arising
from static electricity and make the clothes easier to be ironed. Excessive soften may
damage synthetic fiber. Please refer to its instructions for correct dosage of softener.
