The capacity of washing and spinning of the
machine refer to the largest weight of the
standard laundries under dry condition that can
be washed or spinned in one time. Laundries
quantity in one washing cycle shall be lower
than the rated capacity.
The thickness ,size , type of the cloth will influ-
ence the actual washing capacity. It is suit-
able to put in reasonable amount of laundries
and the laundries can be turned round in wash-
ing for one time washing.

Trouble-shooting Answer to question
When the remained water is frozen
If the laundries fall to the outer side of the spin tub,
please take them out immediately.
1.Dismantle
As indicated in the figure, push the point marked
with " " to pull the spin tub frame to oblique
upwards to dismantle it.
2.Install
After install the back edge of the spin tub frame to
proper position, push the four points marked with
" " by force to reset it.
Please check carefully. The laundries may fall to the
lower part of the outer side of the spin tub (as indicated
in the figure).
If the laundries fall to the outer side of the spin tub, during
spinning the draining will get blocked and the rotation speed
of the spin tub is reduced.

Prevent the freezing (be sure to discharge the water
completely after using)
After complete draining, set the "WASH SELECTOR"
at "STRONG" or "STANDARD". If it is set at "DRAIN",
it will be rather difficult for the frozen water to melt.
When the water is frozen
Pour hot water below 50 into the wash tub
to soak it completely. Then turn the pulsator
with hands gently. Please confirm the drainage
can work normally before next using.
