Setup
1. Unpacking
Carefully remove all packaging materials, including the base packaging and any protective films. Inspect the machine for any signs of damage during transit. Keep packaging materials away from children.
2. Installation Location
Place the washing machine on a firm, level surface to minimize vibration and noise during operation. Ensure there is adequate space around the machine for ventilation and access. Avoid direct sunlight or locations with high humidity.
3. Water Supply Connection
Connect the water inlet hose to the water tap and the water inlet valve on the back of the washing machine. Ensure connections are tight to prevent leaks. Use only the new hose sets provided with the appliance.
4. Drain Hose Connection
Position the drain hose to allow for proper drainage. The hose should be placed into a standpipe or over the edge of a sink, ensuring it is securely fixed to prevent displacement during the drain cycle. The height of the drain outlet should be between 80-100 cm from the floor.
5. Power Connection
Plug the power cord into a dedicated, grounded electrical outlet. Do not use extension cords or adapters. Ensure the voltage and frequency match the specifications listed on the machine's rating label.

1. Cleaning the Lint Filter
The lint filter collects lint and debris during washing. Clean it after every few washes to maintain drainage efficiency and prevent lint transfer to clothes.
- Locate the lint filter (usually inside the tub or on the agitator).
- Remove the filter by pulling it out or unlatching it.
- Remove accumulated lint and rinse the filter under running water.
- Reinsert the clean filter securely.
2. Cleaning the Detergent Dispenser
Residue from detergent and softener can build up. Clean the dispenser regularly to ensure proper dispensing.
- Pull out the detergent dispenser drawer.
- Rinse it thoroughly under warm water to remove any residue.
- Use a small brush if necessary to clean stubborn buildup.
- Wipe the dispenser housing clean and reinsert the drawer.
3. Cleaning the Washing Tub
To prevent odors and mold buildup, run a tub cleaning cycle periodically or clean manually.
- Use a washing machine cleaner or a mixture of vinegar and baking soda.
- Run an empty hot water cycle with the cleaning agent.
- Wipe down the inside of the tub and lid with a damp cloth after the cycle.
4. Exterior Cleaning
Wipe the exterior surfaces of the washing machine with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the finish.
