4. Setup
4.1 Unpacking and Transport Bolt Removal
Carefully unpack the washing machine. Before operating, it is crucial to remove all transport bolts located at the rear of the appliance. These bolts secure the drum during transit and must be removed to prevent damage during operation. Store the bolts for future transport if needed.
4.2 Positioning and Leveling
Place the washing machine on a firm, level surface. Adjust the leveling feet at the bottom of the appliance to ensure it is perfectly stable and does not wobble. Proper leveling reduces vibration and noise during operation.
4.3 Water Connection
- Connect the water inlet hose to a cold water tap with a 3/4-inch thread. Ensure the connection is tight to prevent leaks.
- Position the drain hose into a standpipe or over the edge of a sink, ensuring it is securely fixed to prevent displacement during draining.
4.4 Electrical Connection
Connect the power cord to a properly grounded electrical outlet. The appliance operates on 240V. Do not use extension cords or adapters.

The control panel consists of a program selector dial, function buttons, and a display (if applicable) for cycle information.
5.2 Loading Laundry
Open the washing machine door and load laundry loosely into the drum, ensuring not to exceed the maximum 6 kg capacity. Overloading can affect washing performance and cause damage.
5.3 Adding Detergent and Additives

Periodically remove and clean the detergent dispenser drawer to prevent residue buildup. Rinse it under running water and use a brush if necessary.
