Installation
1. Unpacking
Carefully remove all packaging materials. It is crucial to remove all transit bolts and their rubber bungs from the rear of the machine before operation. Failure to do so will cause excessive vibration and potential damage.
2. Positioning
Place the washing machine on a firm, level floor. Adjust the leveling feet to ensure the machine is stable and does not rock. Maintain adequate space around the machine for ventilation and access.

Securely attach the drain hose to a standpipe or a sink trap. Ensure the drain hose is not kinked or obstructed and is positioned at an appropriate height (between 60 cm and 100 cm from the floor).
5. Electrical Connection
Plug the power cord into a grounded electrical outlet. Ensure the voltage and frequency match the specifications of your appliance. Do not use extension cords or adapters.

Maintenance and Cleaning
1. Detergent Dispenser
Regularly clean the detergent dispenser drawer to prevent residue buildup. Remove the drawer, rinse it under running water, and use a brush to clean any stubborn deposits.
2. Drum Cleaning
Run a maintenance wash cycle (e.g., 'Drum Clean' or a hot wash with no laundry and a descaling agent) periodically to remove detergent residue and prevent odors.
3. Filter Cleaning
Locate the drain pump filter, usually at the bottom front of the machine. Open the cover, drain any residual water, and unscrew the filter. Clean the filter of lint and foreign objects, then reassemble securely.
4. Exterior Care
Wipe the exterior of the machine with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
