The Wash Cycle
3. Ensure that the ○
9 Basket has been removed from the ○ 6 Tub. Turn on the external
water tap to fill water into the ○
6 Tub (up to 1/3 of the level desired) and turn off the tap.
4. Lift up the ○
5 Cover and put washing powder directly into the water in the ○ 6 Tub. Stir
the water for about a minute to mix the detergent and the water thoroughly prior to
putting clothes into the Tub.
5. (Remember to remove loose items like coins, sweets, wrappers, tissue, paper, etc.
which may be found in shirt pockets prior to putting the clothes into the ○
6 Tub. To
prevent damage to the Tub, tie up loose ends of skirts, shawls, overalls, aprons, etc.
and pull up all zippers of jeans, jackets, skirts, pants, etc. prior to putting them into the
Tub. Heavily soiled clothes may require immersing in detergent and leaving to soak in a
pail prior to washing.)
Put the clothes into the ○
6 Tub. As clothes begin to fill the Tub, the water level may
decrease. Put in more water if necessary, the amount of which would commensurate
with the amount of clothes to be washed. DO NOT overfill water in the appliance.
Ensure that the clothes are evenly distributed (as far as possible) within the ○
6 Tub.
DO NOT overfill water in the appliance. Close the ○
5 Cover.

6. Turn the ○
2 Function Selector Rotary Knob (Spin/Wash/Off) to “Wash”.
7. Turn the ○
3 Timer Knob to select the duration of washing based on the type and
amount of clothes to be washed. The duration of washing is affected by the softness or
hardness of water of that particular region.
Hard water contains a high concentration of minerals - typically calcium,
magnesium, manganese and iron - in water. The greater the concentrations of
these minerals, the harder the water. Soft water contains a lower concentration of
these minerals, and instead contains some sodium and potassium salts.
Hard water hinders the laundry process by preventing water from mixing with
detergent. As a result, soap is unable to lather effectively and soap scum is left
behind on your clothes as a streaky, chalky substance. Not only does this
residue look unsightly, it can also cause clothes to feel stiff and unclean, all while
attracting and holding more dirt than before. This same mineral coating can
reduce the absorption of bath towels and cause skin irritation in the form of
chafing and dryness, especially for those who suffer from sensitive skin or other
skin conditions. Additionally, hard water can cause the premature fading of dark
fabrics, leave reddish brown streaks on clothing due to the presence of iron and,
in the case of very hard water or mineral build up, even weaken and tear fabrics
made from natural fibres, leading to costly clothes repairs or replacements. Hard
water requires slightly longer wash duration compared to soft water. In addition, it
might be helpful to substitute powdered (solid) detergent with liquid detergent if
your tap water is hard.

The Spin Cycle
19. Lift up the ○
5 Cover and remove the clothes from the ○ 6 Tub. Insert the ○ 9 Basket
into the ○
6 Tub and place the clothes to be dried into it. Ensure that the clothes are
evenly distributed (as far as possible) within the ○
9 Basket in order to minimise
vibrations which may emanate from the appliance if the ○
9 Basket is spinning with
clothes unevenly distributed. Close the ○
5 Cover.
(DO NOT be alarmed when you notice these vibrations. As clothes can never be
completely evenly distributed, vibrations can never be fully eliminated as when an
object spins about its axis of rotation, if that object is unevenly distributed in terms of
mass, its center of mass would move around, resulting in wobbles. In addition, as water
is removed from the clothes due to the spinning action, the movement of water within
the appliance itself would cause the center of mass to move around, resulting in further
wobbles.)
20. Turn the ○
2 Function Selector Rotary Knob (Spin/Wash/Off) to “Spin”.
21. Turn the ○
3 Timer Knob to select the duration of the spin cycle based on the type and
