WATER-RESISTANT
CLOTHING INTO
THE TUB

During spin drying, the washing
machine is rotating at high speed.
Because water in water resistant
clothing could not be discharged
instantaneously, the machine will
be out of balance, causing abnormal
vibration and other unexpected
accidents.

When the machine is running,
do not touch the bottom with
hand or foot, where there’s
a rotating mechanism, so as to
avoid getting hurt.

Before using, check the bottom
of the product, make sure there
is no packaging material such
as a plastic holder attaching on
visual parts. And then install the
bottom cover.

Do not put heavy objects on the
machine. so as to avoid distortion
and damage.

After using, please turn off the

Common non-fault phenomenon

Phenomenon Not a fault

Water

inlet

Washing

Rinsing

A sound in water hose and
water inlet valve.

When washing or rinsing is
finished, the pulsator will
rotate slightly.

During the washing process,
the pulsator rotates
discontinuously.

When spinning starts, low­speed rotation will happen for
a while. (Do not rotate at high
speed immediately.)

When spinning starts, the
machine gives off sounds like
“Patsa Patsa”.

Because the pressure of tap water is relatively high.
Please adjust tap connection.

To avoid the offset of clothing to reduce vibration
during spin drying.

In the soaking and washing in soak course, the
pulsator rotates once every 8 seconds, so that the
detergent can permeate into the clothing sufficiently.

This action is done to adjust the balance and
to dry clothing sufficiently.

During spin drying, water hits the tub side, which is
not abnormal.

Key points of washing

Pay more attention to the following situations

Before washing, please remove sludge and sand on clothing
first.

For very dirty parts of the clothes, you can smear some liquid
detergent on them and rub them in advance.

For clothing easy to pill, please turn it inside out first and
then wash it.

Large clothing and clothing easy to float should be put into
the washing tub first.

Please put large clothing and clothing easy to float (chemical fibers etc.) at the
bottom. This is beneficial to the good rotation of clothing.

Spinning

Others

During spinning, the program
inlets water and enters rinsing.
(Indicating light of spin blinks
quickly.)

The clothing has been
dehydrated but not wringed
dry.

Operating parts heat up.

Indoor lighting darkens in an
instant.

Rotate the tub body with your
hand, there’s a sound of water
shaking.

There’s a stray noise on the
radio or television, and the
image is unclear.

After washing is finished, there
are white lines around the
washing / spin drying tub.

During the rotation in spin drying, the offset of
clothing is detected and corrected automatically.
(If the offset phenomenon can not be changed by
auto-correction, the operation will stop immediately.)

The spin drying ratio of an automatic washing
machine is a little lower than that of a twin tub
washing machine. In case the spin drying of large
clothing such as towels, blankets etc. is uneven,
please spin drying it again.

It’s caused by the heat radiation of electrical
components.

The voltage of plug loop in your house drops in an
instant when the motor starts up.
(Please use an exclusive plug loop.)

To keep balance during spinning, there’s liquid in
the balance ring.

Keep away from radio and television as far as
possible.

The white powdery material is the result of the
combination of ingredients in detergent and
ingredients in water (Wipe away with twisted cloth.)
Please note that it will stick on where it is left. Using
liquid detergent or injecting water and rinsing twice
can prevent this phenomenon.

To avoid damage to tub,
pulsator...

Please take out coin, hair clip,
curtain hook and other metal
Wrap up buttons and zipper
and put them on the inner side.
Put bra etc. in washing mesh bag.

To avoid damage to clothing,
winding of clothing...

Belts on apron and so on must be
knotted; zippers must be zipped.
Thin or easily damaged clothing
must be washed in washing mesh
bag.
Metal decorations (zippers etc.) on
the clothing in washing mesh bag
must be checked.

For better washing...

Please check the washing mark.
Wash clothing easy to fade
separately.
For towels and other clothing
easy to produce lints, please
wash them separately or use
washing mesh bag.

While using a washing mesh bag, put in as little clothing as possible. Too much

To protect the environment

...To avoid the waste of water, detergent
and electricity.

During washing, wash clothing
together.
Put in proper amount of detergent
according to the fouling situation.
Reuse detergent liquid.

clothing will decrease the performance during rinsing and spin drying or cause
the offset of clothing during spin drying.
