washing tips
• The maximum capacity during washing and spinning cycles refers to the maximum weight of standard dry clothes that can be washed or spined at the same time. The load size during any wash­ing cycle should be lower than the rated capacity.
• Thickness, size, and the type of items to be washed will affect the actual washing capacity. Load a reasonable amount of items so they can freely move inside the washing tub.
• To avoid splashing, do not select the MAXIMUM water level for small loads.
• Do not use high sudsing detergent.
before washing a load
• Check to see if the items to be washed have special washing re­quirements.
• Place hard to absorb water items into the tub submerging them with your hands.
• Empty out pockets. Take out any coins, sand, hair­pins, etc.
• Check to see if the items are appropriate for use with the washing.
• Do not overload the washer. Stretch and loosen items before add­ing them into the washing tub.
• Tie any long strips; fasten buttons and zippers.
• For items prone to form lint balls and/or fur items, turn them inside out before adding them into the washer.
• Do not wash items polluted by chemical substances.
• For heavily soiled items, remove dirt such as mud or dust and apply detergent before loading them into the machine. This will help to remove the stains more easily.
• Sort non-colorfast items from other items.
• When the pulsator is running, you may hear noise caused by but­tons on the clothes. To minimize this noise, surround items with buttons with other clothes.

proper use of laundry products
Powder detergent
Method 1: Dissolving it in the wash tub:
1. Add a small amount of water into the machine.
2. Add the powder detergent. Run washing machine for 30 seconds to dissolve it completely.
3. Place load into the washing machine and select a suitable water level.
Method 2: Instantly dissolving the detergent powder:
1. Prepare warm water at 30 °C in a container.
2. Add the detergent powder while stirring until it completely dis­solves.
• Powder detergent is more prone to damage laundry than liquid
detergent. Please exercise caution and do not exceed the maxi­mum quantity.
• The amount of powder detergent needed for a load will vary.
Please follow the instructions on the detergent package.
Bleach
• Add water to suitable level. Dilute the bleach in a separate con-
tainer. Pour it slowly into the washing machine.
• Avoid using whitening agents on items with colors and/or patterns
as they are prone to lose color.
• Bleach should not come in direct contact with the load.
• Refer to the product`s manufacturer instructions for information
on proper usage and quantity.
• Always dissolve powder whitening agents before use.

1. Place the load into the washing machine. Select the appropriate wash type according to the load.
2. Fill up water to the preset level.
3. To rinse, adjust the wash timer to 2-3 minutes.
When the load is small, use the LIGHT setting. If you use the NOR­MAL setting, the water may splash.
spinning
1. Evenly distribute the load into the spin tub.
2. Use the spinning cap to press the load inside the tub. Close the ex­terior and interior lids of the spin tub.
3. Select an appropriate spinning time according to the condition of the load.
During the spinning cycle, you may hear abnormal sounds, they are generally caused by an unbalanced load. Stop the machine and evenly distribute the load inside the spinning tub.
During the spinning cycle, the machine will pause if the exterior lid of the spinning tub is opened. Close it to resume the spinning cycle.
important
To run spinning and draining or rinsing with water filling one after the other, first run the spinning cycle for around 1 minute, then draining or rinsing with water filling. Otherwise the spinning will stop automatically because of the excess water in the spinning tub.

cleaning the unit
• Wipe the entire unit using a soft moist cloth.
• Use a neutral detergent, if the machine is very dirty.
• Do not use water directly when cleaning.
• After washing, disconnect the water inlet hose.
• Do not let water stand into the machine for long periods of time. Drain the water immediately after each use.
• Disconnect the power plug and hang up the power cord.
• Hang up the drain hose. Wipe off water drops from the surface of the washer and inside the machine using a clean soft cloth.
• Leave the washer lid open, as well as the exterior and interior lids of the spin tub for a short period of time (about one hour), then close them.
prevent freezing
1. Be sure to drain the water completely after each use.
2. After complete the drain, set the DRAIN SELECTOR knob to the
OFF position. If the selector is set to the DRAIN position, it will be difficult for the frozen water to melt.

if water freezes inside the tub
1. Pour hot water (BELOW 50 °C) into the wash tub to soak it com-
pletely.
2. Using your hands, gently turn the pulsator.
3. Confirm that the drainage function is operating normally before
next use.
