Washing matters needing attention
•The working condition of the washer should be (0-40) °C. If used under 0°C, the inlet valve and draining
system may be damaged. If the machine is placed under condition of 0°C or less, then it should be
transferred to normal ambient temperature to ensure the water supply hose and drain hose are not frozen
before use.
•Please check the labels and the explanation of using detergent before wash. Use non-foaming or less-
foaming detergent suitable for machine washing properly.
•When washing single clothes, it may easily cause great eccentricity and give alarm due to great
unbalance. Therefore it is suggested to add one or two more clothes to be washed together so that
draining can be done smoothly.
•Don’t washing the clothes touching with kerosene, gasoline, alcohol and other flammable materials.

is suggested to use some water for dilution to prevent the inlet of detergent box from being blocked and
overflowing while filling water.

performance with less water and energy consumption.
