Setup and Installation

The Cecotec Bolero Universal Stacking Kit is designed for easy installation without the need for specialized personnel. Follow these steps carefully:

1. Preparation: Ensure both the washing machine and dryer are disconnected from power and water supplies. Clean the top surface of the washing machine.
2. Positioning the Kit: Place the stacking kit directly on top of the washing machine. Ensure it is centered and aligned with the edges of the washing machine.
3. Applying Adhesive Pads: Attach the provided adhesive pads to the designated areas on the stacking kit to protect the surface where the dryer will rest and to help reduce vibrations.
4. Placing the Dryer: Carefully lift the dryer and place it on top of the stacking kit, ensuring it is securely seated and aligned. It is recommended to have assistance for this step.
5. Securing with Straps: Use the included securing straps to firmly fasten both appliances to the stacking kit. Thread the straps according to the kit's design, ensuring a tight and stable connection to prevent movement during operation.
6. Final Check: Verify that both appliances are stable and that the stacking kit is securely installed. Gently push and pull the stacked units to confirm there is no excessive wobble.

Operating Instructions

The Cecotec Bolero Universal Stacking Kit is designed to enhance your laundry experience. Its primary operational feature is the integrated pull-out tray.

• Laundry Transfer: The tray is ideal for placing wet clothes when transferring them from the washing machine to the dryer.
• Folding Surface: After drying, the tray can serve as a convenient surface for folding clothes, reducing the need to bend down.
• Access to Appliance Drawers: The design ensures full access to both the washing machine and dryer drawers (e.g., detergent dispenser, lint filter) without interference from the stacking kit.
• Retracting the Tray: After use, gently push the tray back into its closed position until it clicks securely.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and proper functioning of your stacking kit.

• Cleaning: Wipe the stacking kit and pull-out tray with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the surface.
• Check Straps: Periodically inspect the securing straps for any signs of wear or loosening. Tighten them if necessary to maintain stability.
• Tray Mechanism: Ensure the pull-out tray slides smoothly. If it becomes stiff, clean the runners and apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant if needed.
• Vibration Pads: Check the adhesive pads for wear or displacement. Replace them if they are no longer providing adequate cushioning.
