Setup

Unpacking

• Carefully remove all packaging materials, including the polystyrene base and any protective film.
• Locate and remove the transport bolts from the rear of the machine. These bolts secure the drum during transit and must be removed before operation to prevent damage. Keep them for future transport.

Installation

• Location: Place the washing machine on a firm, level surface. Ensure there is adequate space around the machine for ventilation and maintenance.
• Leveling: Adjust the leveling feet at the bottom of the machine until it is perfectly stable and level. This prevents excessive vibration and noise during operation.
• Water Connection: Connect the inlet hose to a cold water tap and securely attach the other end to the water inlet valve on the back of the machine. Ensure all connections are tight to prevent leaks. Position the drain hose into a suitable drain pipe or sink, ensuring it is not kinked.
• Electrical Connection: Plug the power cord into a dedicated, grounded 220V electrical outlet. Do not use extension cords or adapters.

Maintenance and Cleaning

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the lifespan of your washing machine.

Cleaning the Detergent Dispenser

Periodically remove the detergent dispenser drawer and rinse it under running water to remove any detergent residue. Use a brush if necessary to clean stubborn buildup.

Cleaning the Drum

Run a maintenance wash (e.g., a hot cotton cycle with no laundry and a descaling agent or washing machine cleaner) monthly to prevent odor and mold buildup.

Cleaning the Pump Filter

The pump filter, usually located at the bottom front of the machine, should be cleaned regularly (e.g., every few months) to remove lint, coins, or other small objects that may block the drain. Refer to the diagram near the filter for specific instructions on opening and cleaning.

Care After Each Wash

• Wipe the door seal and glass after each wash to remove any moisture or residue.
• Leave the door slightly ajar to allow the drum to air dry and prevent odors.
• Wipe the exterior of the machine with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
