Installation and Setup

Before operating your washing machine, ensure proper installation. This appliance is designed as an integrated unit, meaning it is built into your kitchen cabinetry.

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove all packaging materials. Check for any transit bolts at the rear of the machine and remove them as per the separate installation guide. Keep packaging for future transport if needed.
2. Positioning: Place the machine on a firm, level surface. Adjust the feet to ensure stability and prevent vibration during operation.
3. Water Connection: Connect the water inlet hose to a cold water tap with a 3/4" thread. Ensure connections are tight to prevent leaks.
4. Drainage: Securely connect the drain hose to a suitable drain pipe or sink. Ensure the hose is not kinked or obstructed.
5. Electrical Connection: Plug the power cord into a grounded electrical outlet. Ensure the voltage matches the appliance's requirements (2.3E+2 Volts AC). Do not use extension cords or adapters.
6. Initial Run: Before washing clothes, run an empty cycle (e.g., a short cotton wash at 60°C) without detergent to clean the drum and internal components.

• Cleaning the Detergent Dispenser: Periodically remove the detergent dispenser drawer and rinse it under running water to remove any detergent residue. Clean the housing with a brush.
• Cleaning the Drum: Run a maintenance wash (e.g., a hot cycle with a descaler or washing machine cleaner) every few months to prevent odor and limescale buildup.
• Cleaning the Drain Filter: The drain filter, located at the bottom front of the machine (as indicated by the image), should be cleaned regularly to prevent blockages.
  1. Place a shallow container under the filter cover to collect any residual water.
  2. Open the filter cover.
  3. Slowly unscrew the filter counter-clockwise until water starts to drain.
  4. Once drained, fully remove the filter and clean it under running water. Remove any lint or foreign objects.
  5. Reinsert the filter and screw it clockwise until tight. Close the cover.
• Door Seal Care: After each wash, wipe the rubber door seal and the inside of the door glass to remove any moisture or lint, preventing mold and odors. Leave the door slightly ajar when not in use to allow air circulation.
