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
