SELECTING A LOCATION
Before you install the portable washer, select a location with the following characteristics:
• A hard level surface
• Away from direct sunlight
• Adequate ventilation
• Away from sources of heat such as gas or coal. Make sure
washing machine does not stand on power cord.
• Ventilation openings must not be obstructed by carpeting when the portable washer is
installed on a carpeted oor. It is recommended that you place your washer on a hard material.

CONNECTING THE WATER INLET HOSE
The water inlet hose must be connected to the washing machine
at one end and to the faucet at the other. Do not stretch the water
supply hose. If the hose is too short and you do not wish to move the
water faucet, replace the hose with a longer, high-pressure hose.
Use the faucet adapter provided to connect to the faucet. If
adapter does not t, you will have to visit your local hardware
store to nd the one that ts. The end of the faucet spout
should be longer than 10 mm (0.4 inches) or the connector
cannot be xed properly. Water leakage could develop.
NOTE: Plumbing tape (not included) is
recommended for a better seal.
ENGLISH
10
NOTE: Some faucets may require you to also use the female hose thread adapter
between the male adapter and your sink faucet, depending on the sink faucet. The
rubber washer needs to be removed to make it female. Make sure the rubber washer
ring is inserted and connected to your sink or there is a risk for water leakage.
WARNING: If water leaks from faucet connection or washer connection, turn o
water and tighten fully using a wrench. Be careful not to over tighten and damage
water connection. Turn on water supply and make sure no leaks are present.
DISCONNECTING THE WATER INLET HOSE
Dismantling the hose directly may cause water to splash due to the possible
high water pressure in the hose, even after the faucet has been turned o. Please
take o the hose as per following steps, even if the faucet is closed.
• Turn o the faucet and then turn on the power and have let the
machine run for about 5 seconds then turn it o.
• Remove the connecting nuts from the faucet and washing machine.
NOTE: If the washing machine is frequently used, it is not necessary to
dismantle the inlet hose to avoid possible damage to the screws.

bottom end of the drain hose (L Shaped) over the drain hose
outlet, which is located at the back of the unit on the bottom as
seen in picture. Make sure clamp is screwed on tight, ensuring
the hose cannot slip o, which would result in water leakage.
The other end should be placed in a dedicated drain outlet, basin or
tub/sink. DO NOT LET DRAIN HOSE HANG ON THE GROUND. Water
must be drained safely or there will be water damage. Make sure end
of drain hose is in a secured position otherwise water pressure can
force the hose to come loose, which can result in water damage.
WARNING: The highest point of the drain hose must be in the height of
2-4 feet above oor level, otherwise the washer cannot work normally.
Make sure drain hose is in a secured position otherwise the water pressure
can force the hose to come loose, resulting in water leakage. Washer

OVERFLOW TUBE
Your washing machine is equipped with an overow tube for
when water exceeds the maximum level in the washing machine.
The overow plug will prevent water from leaking to the
ground. If overow tube lls up, properly drain the water.
WARNING: Do not ll the washing machine with more than 7 pounds
of clothes, otherwise overow tube may ll up, which could result in water leakage. See
Automatic Wash Cycles chart on the next page to select the appropriate amount of water.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
BEFORE WASHING
Make sure both the water inlet and drain hoses are installed properly
and the end of the drain hose is in a secured draining spot (instructions
above). Once unit is plugged in, make sure you place the wash load
into the tub evenly. Mix large and small articles of clothing to get
the best washing results. Drop articles loosely into the inner tub.
Clothing should move freely through the washer for best cleaning results.
When washing very large articles, do not ll inner tub as full as with other loads. The water level in
your washer should t the size of your wash load. Small loads will use lower water levels. There must
be enough water in the inner tub to allow articles to move and turn over freely. Overloading the
inner tub can result in poor washing and rinsing. Overloading may also cause wrinkling and tearing.

4. Press the power button.
5. Press program button to select program until the indicator light is ON. (Heavy is default).
6. Press the water level button to select the appropriate water level
setting (Can choose between 1-6. Default is 3).
