Setup and Installation
1. Unpacking
Carefully remove all packaging materials. Inspect the machine for any damage incurred during transit. Keep packaging materials away from children.
2. Placement
- Place the washing machine on a firm, level surface to prevent vibration and noise during operation.
- Ensure adequate ventilation around the machine. Do not block air vents.
- Avoid direct sunlight or locations with high humidity.
3. Water Inlet Connection
Connect the water inlet hose to a suitable water tap. Ensure the connection is secure to prevent leaks. The machine uses a single water inlet for both tubs.
4. Drain Hose Placement
Position the drain hose to allow for proper water drainage. Ensure it is not kinked or obstructed. The drain hose should be placed lower than the machine's base for gravity drainage.
5. Power Connection
Plug the power cord into a grounded electrical outlet. Ensure the voltage matches the specifications of the washing machine.

Maintenance and Care
