Setup and Installation

Proper installation is crucial for the optimal performance and longevity of your washing machine.

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove all packaging materials. Check for any transport damage.

5. Drainage: Securely position the drain hose into a standpipe or laundry tub, ensuring it is not kinked or blocked.
6. Electrical Connection: Plug the power cord into a grounded electrical outlet. Do not use extension cords or adapters.

Maintenance and Care

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and efficiency of your washing machine.

• Cleaning the Detergent Drawer: Periodically remove and clean the detergent drawer to prevent residue buildup. Rinse with warm water and a brush.
• Cleaning the Drum: Run a maintenance wash cycle (e.g., a hot wash with no laundry and a descaling agent) monthly to clean the drum and remove any odors.
• Cleaning the Filter: Locate and clean the drain pump filter regularly (e.g., every few months) to remove lint and small objects. Refer to the full manual for exact location and procedure.
• Exterior Cleaning: Wipe the exterior surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
• Door Seal: After each wash, wipe the door seal dry to prevent mold and mildew growth. Leave the door slightly ajar when not in use to allow air circulation.
