Setup and Installation
Proper installation is crucial for the performance and longevity of your washer dryer. Refer to the included Washing Guide for detailed diagrams.
1. Unpacking
Carefully remove all packaging materials, including the transport bolts located at the rear of the machine. Retain these bolts for future transport if needed.
2. Location Requirements
- Install on a firm, level floor surface.
- Ensure adequate space for air circulation around the appliance.
- Locate near a water supply (hot and cold), a drain, and a grounded electrical outlet.
3. Connecting Water Hoses
Connect the provided water inlet hoses to the corresponding hot and cold water taps and to the inlet valves on the back of the washer dryer. Ensure all connections are tight to prevent leaks. The appliance includes a water hose for this purpose.
4. Connecting Drain Hose
Securely attach the drain hose to the drain outlet at the rear of the machine and route it to a standpipe or laundry tub. Ensure the drain hose is not kinked and is positioned at the correct height (between 60 cm and 100 cm from the floor) to prevent siphoning.
5. Electrical Connection
Plug the power cord into a grounded 220V, 50Hz electrical outlet. Do not use extension cords or adapters. The appliance consumes 2100 watts.
6. Leveling the Appliance
Use a spirit level to check if the appliance is perfectly level. Adjust the leveling feet at the bottom of the machine by turning them clockwise or counter-clockwise until the appliance is stable and level. This prevents excessive vibration during operation.

4. Cleaning the Lint Filter (for Dryer)
After every drying cycle, clean the lint filter located inside the door opening. Remove accumulated lint to maintain drying efficiency and prevent fire hazards.
