- Power Supply: Connect to a dedicated electrical outlet as specified in the electrical requirements section (refer to full manual for details).
- Water Supply: Connect the washing machine to hot and cold water lines.
- Drainage: Ensure the drain hose is properly installed to prevent leaks and ensure efficient water removal.
Operating Instructions
Operating your Midea washer and dryer is straightforward. Follow these steps for optimal performance.

Open the front-load door. The stainless steel drum is designed to handle various load sizes. While suitable for daily use, for larger families or bulky items, multiple loads may be necessary due to its compact size. Place laundry loosely inside the drum, ensuring not to overfill.
