Setup and Installation

Proper installation is crucial for the safe and efficient operation of your washing machine. Please follow these general guidelines. For detailed instructions, refer to the full installation guide provided with your appliance.

Unpacking

• Carefully remove all packaging materials, including the polystyrene base and any protective film.
• Inspect the machine for any transit damage. If damage is found, do not install or operate the appliance and contact customer support.
• Remove all transit bolts from the rear of the machine. Keep these bolts for future transport if needed.

Location and Leveling

• Place the washing machine on a firm, level floor. Avoid placing it on carpets or soft flooring that could obstruct ventilation.
• Ensure there is adequate space around the machine for air circulation and maintenance.
• Adjust the leveling feet at the bottom of the machine to ensure it is perfectly stable and level. This prevents excessive vibration and noise during operation.

Water and Electrical Connections

• Connect the water inlet hose to a cold water tap with a 3/4" thread. Ensure the connection is tight to prevent leaks.
• Position the drain hose into a standpipe or over the edge of a sink, ensuring it is securely fixed to prevent displacement during draining.
• Plug the power cord into a grounded electrical outlet. Ensure the voltage and frequency match the specifications of the appliance. Do not use extension cords or adapters.

Cleaning the Drum

• Run a maintenance wash cycle (e.g., a hot wash with no laundry and a descaling agent or washing machine cleaner) once a month to prevent odor and limescale buildup.
