- Water Connection: Connect the inlet hoses (cold and hot, if applicable) to their respective water taps. Ensure all connections are tight to prevent leaks. Do not overtighten.
- Drainage: Securely place the drain hose into a standpipe or laundry tub, ensuring it is not kinked or submerged in water. The drain hose should be positioned at an appropriate height as specified in the full manual.
