ADDITIONAL IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
Operating Safety Precautions
1. Do not wash articles that have been previously cleaned in, washed in, soaked
in, or spotted with gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, or other ammable or
explosive substances, as they give o vaports that could ignite or explode.
2. Do not add gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, or other ammable or or explosive substances
to the wash water. These substances give o vapors that could ignite or explode.
3. Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in a hot-water system that has
not been used for two weeks or more. HYDROGEN IS EXPLOSIVE. If the hot water system
has not been used for such a period, before using a washing machine, turn on all hot water
faucets and let water ow from each for several minutes. This will release any accumulated

hydrogen gas. As the gas is ammable, do not smoke or use an open ame during this time.
4. DANGER: Risk of child entrapment. Child entrapment and suocation are not problems of
the past. Junked or abandoned appliances are still dangerous even if sitting in the garage.
5. Before you throw away your old portable washer, take o the lid.

The fumes can create a re hazard or explosion.
11. Do not place the washer in steamy rooms or where the washer is directly exposed to
rain. Moisture may destroy the electrical insulation causing an electrical shock hazard.
12. Do not store, use gasoline or any other ammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of
this or any other portable washer. The fumes can create a re hazard or explosion.
13. If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its
service agent or a similar qualied person in order to avoid a hazard.

• Before washing, check all pockets to make sure any objects
are out to avoid damaging washer or clothes.
• Never splash water on the control panel.
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.
INSTALLING THE NOISE DAMPER PLATE
1. Take the noise proof plate out of the package.
2. The opening of the noise proof plate is at the bottom of the machine.
3. Lay down the machine gently and insert the noise proof
plate into the washing machine base.
4. Connect the noise proof plate by using the two screws provided.
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 as shown below. 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.
CONNECTING THE DRAIN HOSE
Included is one drain hose with clamp. Connect the 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 on tight, ensuring the hose cannot slip o.
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 should not be
operated if leaks from washer connections are present.

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.
HOW TO START A CYCLE
To select one of the pre-programmed automatic wash
cycles, follow the instructions as shown below:
1. Turn on the water supply.
2. Pour laundry detergent in the laundry dispensing
hole (on top of tub, see picture).
3. Close the lid. NOTE: Lid must be closed in order to start a cycle.
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).
7. Press the Start/Pause to start the cycle. LED display will
show the remaining time left of the cycle.
NOTE: In the event the clothing load becomes unbalanced, the safety switch will be triggered,
causing the washing machine to automatically rell with water to adjust the imbalance.
