Ensure adequate space for installation. The product requires an additional 10cm width for entry points like doorways and hallways.

3.2 Installing the Anti-Vibration Riser (OP-SG600)
- Place the four OP-SG600 risers at each corner of the waterproof pan, ensuring they fit neatly.
- The risers are designed to prevent the washing machine from slipping and reduce vibration transmission.
- Ensure the non-slip sheets on the bottom of the risers are in contact with the floor for stability.
- Carefully lift and place the washing machine onto the risers, ensuring each foot is securely seated.
3.3 Water and Drain Connection
- Connect the water supply hose to the water tap and the washing machine's inlet.
- Connect the drain hose to the washing machine's outlet and route it to the drain. The anti-vibration risers provide necessary space for the drain hose if the drain is located directly under the machine.

If you encounter issues with your washing machine, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:
- Machine not starting: Check if the power cord is securely plugged in and the door is properly closed. Ensure the child lock is not activated.
- Water not filling: Verify that the water supply tap is fully open and the water inlet hose is not kinked.
- Excessive vibration: Ensure the washing machine is level and the anti-vibration risers are correctly installed. Distribute laundry evenly inside the drum.
- Poor drying performance: Check if the lint filter is clean. Ensure the drying capacity is not exceeded.
