• Place the washing machine on a firm, level surface to minimize vibration and noise during operation.
• Ensure adequate space around the machine for ventilation and maintenance.
• Avoid direct sunlight or areas exposed to freezing temperatures.

Wipe the exterior surfaces of the washing machine with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the finish.
