- Water Supply: Ensure access to hot and cold water lines with appropriate pressure.
- Drainage: A suitable drain point must be available for wastewater discharge.
- Electrical Connection: The appliance requires a dedicated and properly grounded electrical outlet.
- Leveling: Although wall-mounted, the unit must be installed perfectly level to ensure proper operation and prevent vibration.
Refer to the detailed installation guide provided separately with the product for specific measurements and procedures.

6. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your washer.
- Cleaning the Exterior: Wipe the exterior surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

- Detergent Dispenser: Remove and clean the detergent dispenser drawer regularly to prevent buildup.
- Door Seal: Wipe the rubber door seal after each wash to prevent mold and mildew growth. Leave the door slightly ajar when not in use to allow air circulation.
- Filter Cleaning: Consult the separate service manual for instructions on cleaning the drain pump filter, which should be done periodically.
7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your washer, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:
- Washer does not start: Check if the power cord is securely plugged in, the door is fully closed, and the Start/Pause button has been pressed. Ensure there is power to the outlet.
- No water filling: Verify that the water supply faucets are fully open and that the water inlet hoses are not kinked.
- Water not draining: Check if the drain hose is properly installed and not kinked or blocked. The drain pump filter might need cleaning.
- Excessive vibration: Ensure the washer is installed level. Reduce the laundry load if it is unbalanced.
