Full-Auto Electric Washing Machine
➣Your washer is equipped with the
bubble generator that generates a
great deal of air bubble.
➣The air bubbles knock the dirt out
of the clothes during wash and
they push up the heavy dirt to
remove it during rinse.
➣Because the double washing
method using both air bubble &
water current is applied to this
washer, wash efficiency is excellent
in comparison with the original
washer system.

To obtain the best wahing results, you must operate your washer properly.
This section gives you this important information.
OPERATING YOUR WASHER
• Close zippers, snaps, and hooks to avoid
snagging other items.
Remove pins, buckles, and other hard
objects to avoid scratching the washer
interior.
• Empty pockets and turn them inside out.
• Turn down cuffs and turn synthetic knits
out to avoid pilling.
• Tie strings and sashes so they will not
tangle.
• Treat spots and stains.
(see "Removing stains" on page14)
• Drop items into washer loosely. Items
should move easily through wash water
for best cleaning and wrinkle-free results.
• Load washer properly and select correct
load size setting.
Overloading and selecting a setting too
small for the wash load can:
- cause poor cleaning
- increase wrinkling
- create excessive lint
- wear out items faster (because of pilling)
• Mix large and small items in each load.
Load evenly to maintain washer balance.
An off balance load can make the washer
vibrate during spin.
• Reduce wash time when using a small
load size setting. Loads with only a few
small items need less wash time.
• Use a large load size setting to reduce
wrinkling with permanent press clothes
and some synthetic knits. These items
should have more room to move in the
water than heavy items (towels, jeans)
• Separate heavily soiled items from, lightly soiled ones, even if they would normally be
washed together.
• Separate dark colors from light colors, colorfast items from non-colorfast item.

CARING FOR YOUR WASHER
12
Proper care of your washer can extend its life. This section explains how to care for
your washer properly and safely.
Cleaning your washer
Winter storage or moving care
Install and store your washer where it will not freeze. Because some water may stay in the
hoses, freezing can damage your washer.
If storing or moving your washer during freezing weather, winterize it.

If will be on vacation or not using your washer for an extended period of time, you should:
• Unplug the power supply cord or turn off eletrical power to the washer.
• Turn off the water supply to the washer.
This helps avoid accidental flooding (due to a water pressure surge) while you are away.
Wipe up detergent, bleach, and other spills
with a soft, damp cloth or sponge as they
occur. Occasionally wipe the outside of the
washer to keep it looking like new one.
Clean interior with 250ml of chlorine bleach
mixed with 500ml of detergent.
Run washer through a complete cycle.
Repeat process if necessary.
• Turn off water faucet.
• Disconnect and drain water inlet hoses
• Run washer on a drain and spin setting
(see page 10) for 1 minute.
• Unplug the power supply cord.
• Flush water pipes and hoses.
• Reconnect water inlet hoses.
• Turn on water faucet.
• Reconnect power supply cord.
Do not put sharp or metal object in your
washer, they can damage the finish. Check all pockets for
pins, clips, money, bolts, nuts, etc.
Do not lay these objects on your washer after emptying
pockets.

Cleaning the water inlet filter
• Clean the filter when water leaks from, the water inlet.

Stained, heavily-soiled, or greasy items may need to be prewashed or soaked for best results.
Soaking helps remove protein-type stains like blood, milk, or grass. Prewashing helps loosen
soil before washing.
Stain removal rules
• Use warm water for soaking or prewashing stained laundry. Hot water can set stains.
• Most stains are easier to remove when they are fresh. Old or set stains may not coconut
• Before treating any stain, find out what kind of stain it is, how old the stain is, what kind of
fabric it is, and if the fabric is colorfast. (Check the care label)
• Washing and drying can set some stains.
• Start with cold or warm water, hot water can set some stain.
• When bleach is recommended, use a bleach that is safe for the fabric.
• Put the stained area face down on a paper towel or white cloth. Apply the stain remover
to the back of the stain. This forces the stain off fabric instead of through it.
