Installation place requirement
• A concrete floor is the most suitable surface for the washing machine, being far less
prone to vibrations during the spin cycle than other surfaces.
• The machine must be level and securely positioned. The distance between the
machine and any walls must be more than 10cm.
• To a v o i d v i b r a t i o n s d u r i n g s p i n n i n g , t h e m a c h i n e s h o ul d n o t b e i n s t a l l ed o n s o f t
floor coverings.

Level adjustment
The machine must stand perfectly level on all four feet to ensure safe and proper operation.
Incorrect installation may increase electricity and water consumption and may cause the
machine to move during usage.
The level can be adjusted using the Adjustment feet on the bottom of the machine
• Using the spanner rotate the locknut in a clockwise direction. Then rotate the
locknuts together with adjustable feet to raise or lower.
• Use a spirit level to check the machine is level.
• Hold adjustable feet securely with a pipe wrench. Turn locknut again using the
spanner until it sits firmly up against the housing.
Note:
Vibration and noise may occur if the locknuts do not sit firmly up against the houses.

Drain hose connection
1. Direct into a sink:
• If the outlet spigot has not been used before, remove the blanking plug (if present).
• Push the drain hose onto the spigot and secure with a clip if required, ensure a loop
is formed in the drain hose to prevent any waste from the sink entering the washing
machine.
• If required, the drain hose can be extended to a length of 4m.
2. Connected securely to a standpipe:
• Firstly, form a hook shape at the end of the drain hose using the supplied “U”
piece”.
• Place the drain hose into the standpipe, which should have an internal diameter of
approximately 38mm thus ensuring there is an air brake between the drain hose
and standpipe.
• When discharging into a standpipe ensure that the top of the standpipe Is no more
than 90cm and no less than 60cm above floor level.

cold-water supply. If there are two inlet valves, one is connected to a cold-water supply and
the other is connected to a hot-water supply. Follow the indication of the picture below to
complete the connection.
Washing preparation
1. Connect the inlet hoses and turn on the tap.
2. After making sure the power socket is grounded reliably, insert the power plug into

Notes:
For a normally soiled cotton load, it is recommended to choose the program “Cotton “,
set the washing temperature to “60°C”, and select the spin speed to “1400rpm” (*).
The running time above is for the default programs, which is only for reference, it may differ
because of different laundries, weights and washing temperature. The “00” means the
temperature of water is normal. The default options of the program are in bold.

First use
Before washing clothes for the first time, you must run a complete cycle without clothes.
Connect the power and turn on the tap. Turn the knob to position “Standard” and press the
“Start/Pause” button. This will remove any water left in the machine during manufacturing.
Machine preparation
1. Connect the inlet hoses and turn on the tap(s).
2. Ensure the power cord is properly connected to the power socket.
3. Ensure the drain hose is plumbed correctly.
Preparation of clothes
1. Sort the laundry by colour and referring to the care label. Most garments have a
textile care label in the collar or side seam.
2. Ensure all pockets are empty, foreign objects (e.g. nails, coins, paper clips, etc.) can
cause damage to garments and components in the machine.
3. Close any zips, fasten hooks and eyes etc before washing.
4. Dark textiles often contain excess dye and should be washed separately several
times before being included in a mixed load. Always wash whites and coloureds
separately.
5. Badly soiled areas, stains etc. should be pre-treated with liquid detergent, stain
removers etc.
6. Tu r n any clothes which pill easily inside-out before putting them into the machine.
