Setup and Installation
1. Unpacking
Carefully remove all packaging materials, including the base packaging and any protective films. Inspect the machine for any damage incurred during transit.

Place the washing machine on a firm, level surface. Ensure there is adequate space around the machine for ventilation and access. Adjust the leveling feet at the bottom of the machine until it is stable and does not wobble.
3. Connecting Water Supply
Connect the inlet hose to the water tap and the other end to the water inlet valve at the back of the washing machine. Ensure all connections are tight to prevent leaks. Use only new hoses provided with the appliance.
4. Connecting Drain Hose
Position the drain hose correctly. It can be hooked over the edge of a sink or connected to a standpipe. Ensure the drain hose is not kinked or blocked, and that its end is at an appropriate height to allow proper drainage without siphoning.
5. Power Connection
Plug the power cord into a grounded electrical outlet. Ensure the voltage and frequency of your power supply match the specifications of the washing machine.
Operating Instructions
1. Loading Laundry
Open the top lid and load clothes loosely into the drum. Do not overload the machine; ensure there is enough space for clothes to move freely during washing. The maximum capacity is 10 kg.
2. Adding Detergent

3. Selecting a Wash Program

- Delicate Wash: For fragile items requiring gentle care.
- Strong Wash: For heavily soiled and durable garments.
- Normal Wash: Standard cycle for everyday laundry.

5. Child Lock Feature
To activate the Child Lock, press and hold the designated Child Lock button (if available, or a combination of buttons as indicated on the control panel) for a few seconds. This will lock the control panel to prevent accidental changes by children. Repeat the action to deactivate.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your washing machine.
1. Cleaning the Magic Filter
The machine is equipped with a magic filter to collect impurities. Regularly remove and clean this filter to maintain washing efficiency. Typically, the filter is located inside the drum. Pull it out, remove accumulated lint and debris, rinse under running water, and reinsert it.
2. Cleaning the Exterior
Wipe the exterior surfaces of the washing machine with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the finish.
3. Cleaning the Drum
Periodically run a self-clean cycle or a hot wash cycle with an empty drum and a washing machine cleaner to remove detergent residue and prevent odors.
4. Water Inlet Filter
Check and clean the filter screen at the water inlet valve periodically to prevent blockages caused by sediment in the water supply.
