Installation and Setup

Proper installation is crucial for the performance and longevity of your washing machine. Follow these steps carefully.

1. Unpacking

• Remove all packaging materials, including the base packaging and any internal packing.
• Inspect the washing machine for any shipping damage. Report any damage immediately to your retailer.

2. Location Requirements

• Place the washing machine on a solid, level floor. Uneven surfaces can cause vibration and noise.
• Ensure there is adequate space around the machine for air circulation and maintenance.
• Avoid direct sunlight or extreme temperatures. Do not install in areas where water may freeze.
• The location must have access to hot and cold water supply, a drain, and a grounded electrical outlet.

3. Connecting Water Hoses

• Connect the hot water supply hose to the hot water inlet (marked 'H' or red) and the cold water supply hose to the cold water inlet (marked 'C' or blue) at the back of the machine.
• Connect the other ends of the hoses to your household hot and cold water faucets.
• Tighten all connections securely by hand, then use pliers to tighten an additional two-thirds of a turn. Do not overtighten.
• Turn on the water supply and check for leaks.

4. Drain Hose Installation

• Insert the drain hose into a standpipe or laundry tub. Ensure the hose is securely fastened to prevent it from coming out during the wash cycle.
• The top of the standpipe or laundry tub should be between 60 cm (24 inches) and 90 cm (36 inches) from the floor.
• Do not seal the drain hose into the standpipe; an air gap is necessary to prevent siphoning.

5. Leveling the Washing Machine

• Use a spirit level to check if the machine is perfectly level from front to back and side to side.
• Adjust the leveling feet at the bottom of the machine by turning them clockwise to lower or counter-clockwise to raise.
• Once level, tighten the lock nuts on the leveling feet against the machine cabinet to secure them.

6. Electrical Connection

• Plug the power cord into a grounded 127V/60Hz electrical outlet.
• Do not use an extension cord or adapter.
• Ensure the electrical circuit is protected by a fuse or circuit breaker of appropriate rating.
