Washing Machine Operation
- To wash, leave Spin Basket OUT of the machine.
- Add an appropriate amount of detergent (use 75% less detergent than normally recommended).
- Add an appropriate amount of hot / warm / cold water to cover the clothing (make sure drain is closed).
- Carefully plug in power cord.
- Carefully select the cleaning time. There are three icons from left to right. The first icon has a standard washing time of 10 minutes, the second icon has a soft/gentle washing time of 15 minutes, and the third icon has a half spin/dehydration time of 2 minutes (the icon is lit to indicate which cleaning mode has been selected). Quickly short press the bottom button to change to different cleaning modes.
- Start the washer timer by long pressing the bottom button, then the machine begins to work automatically. Its spin cycle is 10 seconds for forward rotation, 1 seconds for stop, 10 seconds for reverse rotation. After the machine is turned on and the mode is selected, do not touch it anymore. It will automatically clean.
- After the timer program is over, the timer resets automatically and the machine stops working.
- Open the bottom drain to drain the water.
- If desired, refill with an appropriate amount of cold water and run the timer again as a rinse cycle.
Spin Basket Operation (Dehydration)- Place the spin basket inside the washing machine (notice how it magnetically fits into place), and place the washed clothes into the spin basket.
- Long press the switch of the washing machine for 10 seconds, then click the switch to select the spin/dehydrate function after turning on the machine.
- Take out the drained clothes and drain basket.
- Unplug the power and rinse clean the washing machine. Leave open to air dry before folding up and putting away for storage.
Helpful Tips- Do not overload the machine. Start out with only a few items at a time to learn how well it will work with your garments.
- Do not use too much detergent. Generally take the amount of detergent recommended by the detergent manufacturer and reduce it by 75%. For example, if the detergent manufacturer recommends 1 cup then use 1/4 cup.
- If you used too much detergent, simply empty water and refill and run again as a sort of rinse cycle.
- Single use detergent packages or detergent pods are designed to be used in full size washers. The amount of water used and load size makes using single use detergent packages both inefficient and wasteful. The amount of detergent being used is too much for a portable washer.
- It is not suitable for washing large and heavy clothes such as sweaters or jeans.
- Some items may still require hand wringing after spin cycle.
- When washing clothes, please do not put too much water. If you put too much water, when the washing machine is started, the momentum of the water will flush the cover open, causing the water to splash everywhere.
- The bottom section of the product (where the buttons are) is not waterproof, please do not immerse the bottom into water.
