Setup
Proper installation is crucial for the performance and longevity of your appliance.
1. Unpacking:
- Carefully remove all packaging materials.
- Inspect the appliance for any shipping damage.
2. Removing Transit Bolts:
Before operation, it is essential to remove the four transit bolts located at the rear of the machine. These bolts secure the drum during transport and must be removed to prevent excessive vibration and noise during operation. Refer to the installation guide for detailed instructions on removal.
3. Leveling the Appliance:
Use the adjustable leveling feet to ensure the machine is perfectly level on the floor. An unlevel machine can cause vibration and noise.
4. Water Connection:
Connect the water inlet hoses to the appropriate hot and cold water taps and to the corresponding inlets on the back of the machine. Ensure all connections are tight to prevent leaks.
5. Drain Hose Connection:
Securely connect the drain hose to a suitable drain pipe or sink, ensuring it is properly positioned to prevent backflow.
6. Electrical Connection:
Plug the power cord into a grounded 220V electrical outlet. Do not use extension cords or adapters.
7. Initial Run:
Before washing clothes, run an empty wash cycle with a small amount of detergent to clean the drum and internal components.
