3. Setup and Installation

Proper installation is crucial for the safe and efficient operation of your washing machine.

3.1 Unpacking and Transport Bolt Removal

Before operating 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 and excessive vibration during operation. Store them for future transport if needed.

3.2 Positioning and Leveling

Place the washing machine on a firm, level floor. Adjust the leveling feet at the bottom of the machine until it is perfectly stable and does not wobble. Use a spirit level to ensure proper alignment. This prevents excessive noise and vibration during the spin cycle.

Figure 3.2: Ensure the machine is level and stable to prevent movement during operation.

3.3 Water and Drain Connections

Connect the water inlet hose to a cold water tap with a 3/4-inch thread. Ensure the connection is tight to prevent leaks. Position the drain hose into a standpipe or over the edge of a sink, ensuring it is securely fastened to prevent dislodgement during drainage.

4. Operating Instructions

Follow these steps for optimal washing results.

4.1 Loading Laundry

Sort your laundry by fabric type, color, and degree of soiling. Open the washing machine door and load the laundry loosely into the drum, ensuring not to exceed the maximum load capacity of 5 kg. The machine features automatic load sensing to adjust water usage.

4.2 Adding Detergent and Additives

Pull out the detergent drawer (Figure 2.5). Add the appropriate amount of detergent to the main wash compartment. If using pre-wash, add detergent to the pre-wash compartment. Fabric softener can be added to its designated compartment. Close the drawer gently.

5.1 Cleaning the Detergent Drawer

Periodically remove the detergent drawer and rinse it under running water to remove any detergent residue or mold buildup. Clean the housing of the drawer with a brush.

5.2 Cleaning the Drum

To prevent odors and maintain hygiene, run a maintenance wash (e.g., a hot cycle with no laundry and a descaling agent or washing machine cleaner) regularly. Ensure the drum is clean and free of debris.

5.3 Cleaning the Filter

Locate the drain pump filter, usually at the bottom front of the machine. Open the cover and carefully unscrew the filter. Remove any lint, coins, or other foreign objects. Clean the filter under running water and reinsert it securely. This should be done periodically to prevent drainage issues.

5.4 Exterior Cleaning

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.
