Washing Machine

 The newest addition to the cabin is the small washing machine.  It is stored in the main level bathtub and can be used to wash the sheets, clothing or small batches of towels.  It cannot hook up to the tap, but hose can be held to add water during the was or spin/rinse.  (Left side is for washing, and the other is for rinsing and spinning.) 

It would be great if your brought your own detergent with you if you plan on washing as there is only a small amount left there.  Towels and sheets need to be left clean and ready for the next family to come. 

 INSTRUCTIONS:

Add small load of clothing or linen into the left tub.  Do not over fill or it will not be able to agitate.  Use a bucket to fill the tub with water or hook up the hose to the left input on top and hold hose manually under a small stream of water until full (more time consuming).  I didn't see a fill line inside the tub, but I filled about 4-6 inches from the top.

The first knob will start the wash.  The second knob should be on standard.  If you put it on drain, it will drain this tub.  The drain hose will be on your left hand, hooked onto the side of the machine.  Unhook and let it fall to the bottom of the bathtub, as it will be needed there for the rinse and drain and to later drain the wash tub.

Once washed, moved laundry to the right tub and put the removable plastic disk on top to keep the fabric from spinning out and getting stuck between tub and walls of machine.

Spin.

Rinse with hose moved to the right input or with a bucket or two of water.  I did both.

Spin out as much water as possible.  Water will be expelled from the drain hose and spinner will get faster with less water in the clothing.

Hang to dry;  hopefully on a clothes line but could use railing.

You can wash and rinse a load at the same time, but can only do two loads before a cool down time will be needed.

Turn middle dial to drain to remove water from the left or washing tub.

When finished wipe everything clean and replace the drain hose just in case someone moves it out of the bathtub.  It could flood if the hose isn't hooked back up to avoid a gravity drain on the bathroom floor.
