2. Safety Information

Please read all safety instructions carefully before operating the appliance to prevent injury or damage. Keep this manual for future reference.

• Electrical Safety: Ensure the washing machine is connected to a properly grounded power outlet with the correct voltage (220 Volts). Do not use extension cords or adapters. Disconnect power before cleaning or maintenance.
• Water Connection: Use new hose sets for water connection. Do not reuse old hose sets. Ensure all connections are tight to prevent leaks.
• Child Safety: This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
• Installation: Install the machine on a firm, level surface. Do not install in areas exposed to freezing temperatures or direct sunlight.
• Usage: Do not wash items that are soiled with gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, or other flammable or explosive substances. Do not reach into the tub while it is spinning.

3. Setup

Proper installation is crucial for the washing machine's performance and longevity.

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove all packaging materials, including the base packaging and any internal packing. Inspect the machine for any damage.
2. Location: Choose a location with a solid, level floor that can support the machine's weight (33 kg) when full of water and laundry. Ensure there is access to a water supply, drain, and power outlet.
3. Connecting Water Supply: Connect the hot and cold water inlet hoses to the corresponding valves on the back of the machine and to your household water supply. Tighten connections securely.
4. Connecting Drain Hose: Securely attach the drain hose to the machine's drain outlet and route it to a standpipe or laundry tub, ensuring it is properly secured to prevent dislodging during operation.
5. Power Connection: Plug the power cord into a grounded 220V AC outlet.
6. Leveling the Machine: The machine is equipped with adjustable leveling legs. Use a wrench to adjust the legs until the machine is perfectly level and stable. This minimizes vibration and noise during operation.

5. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and efficiency of your washing machine.

• Cleaning the Exterior: Wipe the exterior surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Cleaning the Detergent Dispenser: Periodically remove and clean the detergent dispenser drawer to prevent residue buildup. Rinse with warm water and dry thoroughly before reinserting.
• Cleaning the Lint Filter: For top load machines, locate and remove the lint filter (often found in the agitator or on the side of the drum). Clean accumulated lint under running water and reinsert. Perform this after every few washes.
• Drum Cleaning: Run a 'Tub Clean' or 'Self Clean' cycle (if available) or a hot wash cycle with a washing machine cleaner or a cup of white vinegar to remove detergent residue and odors from the drum.
• Water Inlet Filters: Check the filters at the water inlet hoses periodically for blockages. Turn off water supply, disconnect hoses, and clean the filters with a brush.
