Understanding Your "Hand Wash" Washer
Hand-Wash System:
The convenient top loading format with no central agitator gives you more usable
space and cleans your clothes gently. The special designed pulsator at the bottom of
the washer creates a cascading motion to gently lift and bounce clothes through a
continuous waterfall. Because of this unique wash motion of the pulsator, you can
wash many delicate washables that you previously might have washed by hand.
English
Cascading Water Fall:
Series of small water falls moving through the clothes in clockwise direction going
from lower surface to upper surface removing soil and residue from the clothes to
give the best cleaning result.
Omni-Direction Flow:
To give you the optimum cleaning result for your clothes, the pulsator moves in both
clockwise and counter clockwise direction every couple of seconds throughout the
wash cycle. Your clothes are being folded and unfolded during this process to
remove the soil and stain out of your clothes. This gentle, but effective process
protects your clothes from wear and tear.
Pendulum Wash:
The water is being sprayed from the left to right direction during the wash and rinse
cycle to give you the best cleaning results for your clothes.
