should be less than 10 cm, or the drainage will not be smooth
enough causing an incomplete drainage.

ther point indicated "A" or "B".
Once the washing or rinsing process is completed, and you need
to flush the water, it is necessary to place the drain hose on the
floor at a height not greater than 10 cm, and turn the control

using a new water supply hose. Do not use previous or old hose.
preparation before washing

2. Make sure that the washing machine is properly grounded, then
insert the power plug into the outlet. Do not connect the ground
terminal to a gas or water pipe.
3. Lower the drain hose to the floor.
Important: An uneven or slanted floor may result in unstable work-
ing and abnormal noise. Make sure the machine stands firmly on an
even floor.

before washing a load pay attention to the
following
Check clothes care labels looking for special washing instructions.
Clear pockets. Take out coins, sand, hairpins etc.
Tie the long strips, fasten buttons and close zippers.
The size of the load to be washed should not be too
large. Stretch and loosen the items before putting them
in the tub.
Sort non-colorfast from colorfast items.
Dip with your hands items difficult to absorb water.
For items with heavy soil, please first remove the dirt like mud or
dust. For hard spots, apply detergent on them in advance. This will
make them easier to remove.
For items that may get lint ball and those with long fibers, turn
them over before loading.
Do not wash items spotted with chemicals using this appliance.
washing tips
The washing and spinning capacities of the machine refer to the
largest weight of standard items under dry condition that can be
washed or spined at once.
The size of the load in any washing cycle must be smaller than the
rated capacity.
The thickness, size and type of clothes will affect the actual wash-
ing capacity. Load a proper amount of items each time. Items
loaded should freely move inside the tub.
Do not select the maximum water level for few items, so as to
avoid splashing of water. Do not use high suds detergents.
When the washing tub pulsator is running, the buttons
of clothes may cause noise. Load more items without
buttons to minimize the noise.

proper use of laundry products
Using bleach
•Fill water to proper level. Dilute bleach in a suitable container.
Pour it slowly into the washing tub.
•Avoid using bleach on items with color or pattern as they are
prone to lose color.
•Bleach should not directly contact clothes.
•Refer to the bleach manufacturer instructions for the proper use
and amounts.
•For powder bleach, dissolve it before using.
Using powder detergent
•Powder detergent can be dissolved in the washing tub:
1. Let a small quantity of water into the tub.
2. Add the powder detergent. Run for 30 seconds to completely
dissolve it.
3. Load items into the tub. Select a suitable water level.
control panel
•You can also dissolve the powder detergent before adding it to
the washing tub:
1. Prepare warm water at 30 °C in a suitable container.
2. Add the powder detergent while stirring to fully dissolve it.
•Powder detergent tends to spot clothes more than liquid deter-
gent. Be careful with the amount of detergent.
•The amount of detergent to be used varies with the type of deter-
gent. Always refer to the manufacturer of the detergent instruc-
tions for proper use and amounts.
