5.2 How to Operate Your Washing Machine
1. Lay the drainage pipe into a sink or drainage area.
2. Please note, water is drained by gravity so you will need the machine higher than any drain point
to fully drain the water. If this is not possible please buy a small pump.
3. Use the water inlet hose to connect the water tap to the water inlet of the Wash Tub.
4. If it is easier and more practical for you, you can stick a hose directly into the top of the tub or
use a bucket and fill it that way.
5. Turn on the power.
Preparation
1. Set the ‘Wash Select Switch’ to ‘Standard’ or ‘Soft’ according to the material type and weight of
materials to be washed.
2. Fill the washing machine approx. 2/3 full with water.
3. Add required detergent to the water and turn the wash timer on to mix the detergent into the
water.
4.
Stop the machine and carefully add the materials to the wash tub. (You may find having the
washtub spinning by setting the timer whilst doing this enable the materials to fit better in the
machine.)
5. Add more water if required to cover materials.
6. Set the Wash Timer to required time and washing machine will start to wash.
7. After washing, set the ‘Wash Select Switch’ to the ‘Drain’ position to start draining the water.
Washing
1.
Once the wash cycle has finished move the water inlet hose to the water inlet of the Spin Tub.
2. If it is easier and more practical for you, you can stick a hose directly into the top of the tub or
use a bucket and fill it that way.
3. Add the materials to the Spin Tub. You may have to split down the load as the spin tub is smaller
than the wash tub.
4.
When loading the materials push them firmly into the spin tub and cover with the spin cap.
5. Set the spin timer and spin the clothes for 1-2 mins.
6.
Once the spin cycle is finished turn the tap on and fill the spin tub with water to cover the
materials. Do not over fill as this will cause spillage.
7. Push cloths into spin tub and cover with the spin cap.
8. Repeat Spin Cycle for 1-2 minutes to remove any excess foam from the materials.
Mid-Wash Spinning
1. After spinning, the spin tub will stop.
2.
Return the water inlet hose to the water inlet of the Wash Tub and fill 2/3 with clean cold/warm
water.
3. Do not add detergent to the rinsing cycle.
4. Open the spin cover and transfer the clothes to the wash tub to prepare for rinsing.
5. Repeat the washing process performed previously for approx. 5-7 minutes.
6. After rinsing, set the Wash Select Switch to the drain position to start draining the water.
Rinsing
1. Return the clothes to the Spin Tub as per steps 2-3 of the Mid-Wash Cycle.
2. Set the Spin Timer for between 1-5 minutes and spin clothes.
3. Repeat until clothes have reached required dryness.
Note: During spinning if the outer cover is opened the spin cycle will stop, close the cover to restart.
