Usage Features:
The washing machine features a control panel with distinct knobs for Water Inlet (wash side), Wash Timer, Wash-Drain Selector, Spin Timer, and Water Inlet (spin side).
- Installation: The manual details how to install the machine, including connecting the power cord and water inlet hose, laying down the drain hose, and selecting a suitable installation site (avoiding direct sunlight, rain, or uneven ground). It also provides instructions for changing the position of the drain hose from the spin side to the wash side if needed.
- Preparation Before Use: Before washing, users are advised to plug in the power supply, connect the water inlet hose, lay down the drain hose, check pockets for objects, knot strings to prevent tangling, and sort clothes by texture, dirt degree, and color. Small or fluffy items should be placed in a nylon net.
- Washing Method:
- Connect the water inlet hose.
- Load laundry, add detergent, and water to the wash tub. Fill to half the desired level, soak for a few minutes, then fill to the desired water level.
- Set the desired wash time using the Wash Timer knob.
- After washing, set the Wash-Drain Selector to "DRAIN" to empty the tub.
- Rinsing Method:
- Spraying Rinse (in the spin tub): Transfer laundry to the spin tub, connect the water inlet hose to the spin side, turn on the water tap for 3-4 minutes, and set the spin timer for 2-5 minutes. This method is not recommended if there is rust in the water.
- Common Rinse (in the wash tub): After pre-spinning, transfer clothes to the wash tub, fill with water, turn the "Wash Selector" to "Normal" or "Heavy," set the wash timer for 3-5 minutes, then spin for 1-5 minutes in the spin tub. Finally, drain the wash tub.
- Spinning Method:
- Load laundry evenly into the spin tub.
- Place the spinner cap horizontally on the laundry.
- Close the safety cover and spin cover.
- Select the estimated spinning time based on fabric type (e.g., Silk: 50 seconds, Light Clothes: 1 minute, Towel: 5 minutes).
- Efficiency Program: For optimal efficiency, the manual suggests selecting "Heavy" in the wash selector, setting wash time to 15 minutes with 40°C warm water, spinning twice for 3 minutes each, rinsing for 5 minutes with 20°C cold water, and spinning twice for 3 minutes each.
