Usage Features
Installation and Adjustment:
- Unpacking: Remove all packaging, including the polystyrene base. Keep packaging for future transport.
- Bottom Cover Installation: Install the bottom cover using two screws to protect against rodents and insects.
- Positioning: Ensure the machine is horizontal. The distance from the wall should be more than 50mm. Adjust the adjustable feet to level the machine and allow air circulation, especially on carpeted floors.
- Water Inlet Installation:
- Connect the inlet hose connector to a suitable tap (front end >10mm, flat and smooth exit face).
- Fasten the four bolts on the connector evenly, then twist the fastening nut.
- Connect the inlet hose to the washing machine, ensuring the water absorption cushion is in place and the hose nut is fastened securely.
- Check for leaks after installation by opening the tap.
- Drainpipe Installation:
- Set the drainpipe clip 2-3cm from the drainpipe end.
- Install the drainpipe into the drainpipe connector and fix it with the clip.
- The drainpipe height should be less than 10cm for smooth drainage.
- Do not step on or press the drainpipe.
- If the drainpipe is too long, cut the front end slantingly.
- An additional drainpipe, if needed, should have a diameter of at least 30mm and a length not exceeding 1.5m.
- The manual also details how to change the direction of the drainpipe by disassembling and reassembling internal components.
Preparation Before Operation:
- Connect the inlet hose and open the tap.
- Ensure the appliance is properly earthed.
- Put down the drainpipe.
- Water Temperature: Do not use water hotter than 50°C.
- Laundry Preparation:
- Empty pockets of small objects (coins, keys, screws).
- Knot long bands, fasten buttons, and close zippers.
- Load laundry loosely, alternating large and small items, without overloading.
- Sort laundry by fabric type, color-fastness, and dirtiness.
- Place thin laundries, woolens, and delicate items prone to wear and tear into a washing bag.
- Ensure laundries are washable. Wash new colored items separately.
- Immerse non-absorbable laundries by hand.
- Pre-treat difficult stains (fruit, wine, grass, rust) with specific products or biological detergent.
- Overturn nap fabric and long floss laundries before washing.
- Do not put laundries polluted by chemicals into the machine.
- Wash very small items (handkerchiefs, ribbons, socks) in a washing bag or pillow case.
Detergent Usage:
- Washing Powder: Put washing powder in the detergent box. For instant dissolving, prepare warm water (30°C) in a container, pour powder while stirring to fully dissolve it, then add to the machine.
- Softener: Put softener in the softener box; the machine automatically adds it during the last rinse.
- Bleach: Dilute bleach in a container, then pour slowly into the washing tub. Do not use bleach for colored or figured laundries. Do not put bleach directly onto laundries.

- Organize the electric cable and drain hose.
- Wipe water from the surface and tub with a soft cloth and keep the top lid open for a while to prevent mold and stagnant smells.
Winterization (Freezing Prevention):
- If there's a risk of water freezing in the inner tub, remove the water inlet hose and drain water from the hose and inner tub.
- If water freezes, do not operate the machine. Pour 40°C hot water into the tub (submerging the pulsator), wait a few minutes, gently rotate the pulsator by hand, then operate the machine.
Troubleshooting (Common Non-Fault Phenomenon):
The manual provides a detailed list of common issues and their possible reasons, along with settlement steps:
- Control panel has no display: Plug not inserted, no electricity, power switch off, power supply cut off.
- Inlet hose leaks: Connector not fixed tightly, hose and machine connector loose.
- Does not drain: Drainpipe not put down, bended, or blocked.
- Does not water fill: No water supply, tap not open, inlet hose blocked.
- Spin stops and water refills during spin program: Laundries too much/too little, machine not stable.
- Press SPIN but it does not spin: Top lid not closed when drain finished, top lid open when spin starts.
- Spin is intermittent: Laundries unbalanced.
- Water flows from drainpipe first time use: Remaining water from factory testing.
Abnormal Display and Imbalance Adjustment:
- The manual lists various error codes (E0, E1, E2, E3, E4, E5, F1) with explanations and settlement procedures, such as closing the top lid, checking connections, or contacting technicians.
- The machine has an imbalance adjustment function that automatically adjusts if vibration is detected during spinning.
