OPERATING YOUR PORTABLE WASHER

PREPARATION

1. Connect the water inlet hose to the water faucet. Don’t switch on the power if the water pressure is lower than 0.05MPa and higher than 0.5MPa.

2. Ensure the drain hose has been installed properly.

3. Insert the plug into the socket. For safety the plug should have ground connection.

4. Insert the end of drain hose into the hook shelf, and hang the drain hose over a drain outlet.

5. Open the water faucet.

6. Put the wash load into the tub evenly.

7. Add the suitable quantity detergent into the detergent case.

8. Close the lid. Otherwise the washer will not wash or spin, and alarm will sound.

BEFORE WASHING

Prepare the wash load. Mix large and small articles in a load to get the best washing results. Drop articles loosely into the inner tub. Do not pack articles in or wrap them. Articles should move freely through the wash water for best cleaning results. Articles should rollover, sink and then reappear.

When washing very large articles, do not fill inner tub as full as with other loads. The water level in your washer should fit the size of your wash load. Small load 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 of articles.

Make sure that you follow all manufacturer instructions for washing:
