Proper installation is crucial for the performance and longevity of your washing machine. It is recommended to have the appliance installed by a qualified technician.
4.1 Unpacking and Removing Transport Bolts
Before using the machine, 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. Keep the bolts for future transport if needed.
