3. Product Features & Components

3.1 Control Panel & Indicators

The control panel is located on the top of the unit.

• Function Knob (Left): Selects the operating mode.
  • Wash: Activates the washing agitation.
  • Spin: Activates the spin basket rotation.
  • Off: Powers off the motor.
• Timer Knob (Right): Sets the duration for the selected operation (Wash or Spin). The maximum timer setting is 15 minutes per cycle.

Note: The timer may not automatically shut off in some units. It is recommended to monitor the cycle and manually turn the Function Knob to "Off" when complete.

3.2 Ports and Connections

• Water Inlet: Located on the top/back of the unit. Connect the provided inlet pipe here for filling.
• Drain Outlet: Located on the right side of the unit. The drain hose is permanently attached. It must be pointed upward during fill and wash cycles, and lowered for draining.

3.3 Spin Basket

A removable plastic basket used for the spin-dry cycle. It must be placed inside the main tub before starting the spin cycle.

4. Installation & Setup

4.1 Placement

1. Place the washer on a stable, flat, and waterproof surface.
2. Critical for Drainage: Position the machine so that it is elevated (e.g., on a sturdy table, counter, or in a bathtub) and near a drain outlet (sink, tub, or floor drain). The drain hose relies on gravity.
3. Ensure there is a standard 110V electrical outlet nearby.

4.2 Water Connection

The inlet hose may not fit all faucets. Options for filling:

• Using the Inlet Hose: Connect the hose to the machine's inlet port. Attach the other end to a faucet using an appropriate adapter if needed. Ensure connections are secure to prevent leaks.
• Manual Filling: Use a bucket or jug to pour water directly into the open tub.

5. Use Guide

5.1 Washing Cycle

1. Load Clothes: Open the lid. Place clothes loosely into the main washing tub. Do not exceed the "High" water level mark inside the tub (approx. 5.7 lbs of dry laundry).
2. Add Detergent: Add a small amount of laundry detergent directly into the tub with the clothes. Use less than you would in a standard washer.
3. Fill with Water:
   • Ensure the drain hose is pointed upward and secured.
   • Fill the tub with water. Observe the water level markings on the inside back of the tub (L, M, H). Do not exceed the "H" (High) mark.
4. Start Washing:
   • Set the Function Knob to "Wash".
   • Set the Timer Knob to the desired wash duration (up to 15 min).
5. Monitor: The agitator at the bottom of the tub will rotate. You can observe the process through the translucent tub.
6. Drain: After the wash cycle, turn the Function Knob to "Off". Unhook the drain hose and direct it into your drain outlet. Allow all soapy water to drain completely.

5.2 Rinsing

1. After draining the soapy water, lift the drain hose back into the upright position.
2. Refill the tub with clean water to rinse the clothes.
3. Set the Function Knob to "Wash" and run a short cycle (3-5 minutes) to rinse.
4. Drain the rinse water completely.

5.3 Spin-Dry Cycle

1. Prepare the Basket: Ensure the main tub is fully drained. Place the spin basket inside the main tub, ensuring it is properly seated.
2. Load the Basket: Remove clothes from the wash tub, wring them out lightly by hand, and place them evenly inside the spin basket. Do not exceed 2.2 lbs. Distribute weight evenly to minimize imbalance.
3. Secure the Lid: Close the main lid.
4. Start Spinning:
   • Set the Function Knob to "Spin".
   • Set the Timer Knob to the desired spin duration (3-5 minutes is often sufficient).
5. Monitor Closely: Hold the machine firmly if it begins to shake or "walk." The spin basket rotates at high speed (up to 1300 RPM).
6. Complete: After spinning, turn the Function Knob to "Off." Remove clothes. They will be damp but not dripping.

6. Care & Maintenance

• Cleaning: Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth. Periodically run an empty wash cycle with a cup of white vinegar to clean the interior tub.
• Storage: Ensure the unit is completely dry before storing. Store hoses and spin basket inside the tub if possible.
• Winterizing: If used in an RV or seasonal location, drain all water from hoses and the tub to prevent freezing damage.
• Unplug the unit when not in use.
