Ensure the positioning status of the machine.
Electrical Connection 11 As the maximum current through the unit is 12A when you are using its heating function, please make sure the power supply system (current, power voltage and wire) at your home can meet the normal loading requirements of the electrical appliances.

If the washer is running, pressing it once will pause the washer. Press again to restart the wash cycle.
Hand Wash/ Wool: Select this option to wash the wool textiles labeled with “Machine Wash” only. It is suggested to wash only small loads and with wool-safe detergent. In this cycle the tumble action will agitate less and will be at a lower spin speed. Baby Wear- Select this option for baby clothes and people with skin allergies. The wash cycle will automatically have an extra rinse. Self-Clean- Run the self-clean regularly to remove detergent buildup and other residue from the machine itself.

Spin Speed- Press to increase spin speed time, the washer drum spins at a speed up to 1200RPM. This reduces drying time and saves energy. Press the button until desired speed is lit, speed increases in increments of 200, 400-1200 rpm. Some fabrics such as delicates require a slower spin speed. Soil Level- Press to increase time for heavier soiled items. There are three soil levels, each bar increases the base wash time by five minutes.
Tips before Washing Check for colorfastness. Before washing any new garment you should always check to see if the color will bleed to avoid damaging other items in the same wash cycle. Checking for colorfastness is easy. Simply wet one corner of the fabric and let it set for a few minutes. Get a white cloth and press down on the wet part of the garment/item. If any color comes off onto the white cloth, you know the item is not colorfast and will run in the wash cycle.
NOTE: It is normal if you clothes feel slightly damp to the touch even though they are dry. This is entirely normal in the selfcondensing drying process. All you have to do is just shake them out a little bit to allow any residual humidity to dissipate (it takes only a few seconds). Then you can fold or hang them as normally. 17 Secure fasteners, zips should be zipped close and buttons or hooks should be fastened. Any loose ribbons or ties should be tied together.
Washing/Drying Capacity: Do not overload the unit; otherwise it may diminish the washing effects. Please confirm the maximum affordable washing quantity according to the following table. DO NOT WASH ANY SINGLE LARGE ITEM AS IT WILL DAMAGE UNIT.
Operating the Washer Before washing clothes for the first time, the washing machine should be run through a full cycle with detergent without articles of clothing. Once you have loaded the washer and added laundry products, you are now ready to wash! Start up washing machine Make sure the unit is connected to power and ensure water lines are connected properly; the tap should be opened completely. Place your already sorted wash load into the drum. Press the “Power” button.
