3. Setup and Installation

3.1 Unpacking

Carefully remove all packaging materials. It is crucial to remove the four transit bolts located at the rear of the washing machine before first use. These bolts secure the drum during transport and must be removed to prevent damage during operation. Store them for future transport if needed.

It is recommended to use an aquastop hose for added safety, as the included hose may not have this function.

Plug the power cord into a grounded electrical outlet. Do not use extension cords or adapters. Ensure the voltage and frequency match the specifications of your appliance.
