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.
To avoid damage to tub, pulsator...
To avoid damage to clothing,
winding of clothing...
For better washing...
To protect the environment
While using a washing mesh bag, put in as little clothing as possible. Too much clothing will decrease
the performance during rinsing and spin drying or cause the offset of clothing during spin drying.
Common non-fault phenomenon
Phenomenon
Not a fault
Water
inlet
Washing
Rinsing
Others
A sound in water hose and water
inlet valve.
Spinning
When washing or rinsing is finished,
the pulsator will rotate slightly.
During the washing process,
the pulsator rotates
discontinuously.
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.
When spinning starts, low-speed
rotation will happen for a while. (Do
not rotate at high speed immediately.)
This action is done to adjust the balance and to dry clothing
sufficiently.
When spinning starts, the machine
gives off sounds like “Patsa Patsa”.
During spin drying, water hits the tub side, which is not
abnormal.
During spinning, the program inlets
water and enters rinsing.
(Indicating light of spin blinks
quickly.)
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 clothing has been spin dried
but not wringed dry.
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.
Operating parts heat up.
It’s caused by the heat radi
ation of electrical components.
Indoor lighting darkens in an
instant.
The voltage of plug loop in your house drops in an instant
when the motor starts up. (Please use an exclusive plug loop.)
Rotate the tub body with your
hand, there’s a sound of water
shaking.
To keep balance during spinning, there’s liquid in the balance
ring.
There’s a stray noise on the radio
or television, and the image is
unclear.
Keep away from radio and television as far as possible.
After washing is finished, there
are white lines around the
washing / spin drying tub.
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.
Put bra etc. in washing mesh bag.
Please take out coin, hair clip, curtain
hook and other metal.
Wrap up buttons and zipper and put
them on the inner side.
Metal decorations (zippers etc.) on the clothing
in washing mesh bag must be checked.
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.
Please put large clothing and clothing easy to float (chemical fibers etc.) at the bottom.
This is beneficial to the good rotation of clothing.
For towels and other clothing easy to
produce lints, please wash them separately
or use washing mesh bag.
Please check the washing mark.
Wash clothing easy to fade separately.
Reuse detergent liquid.
During washing, wash clothing together.
Put in proper amount of detergent
according to the fouling situation.
...To avoid the waste of water, detergent
and electricity.
