Setup and Installation
Proper installation is crucial for the performance and longevity of your washing machine.
1. Unpacking
Carefully remove all packaging materials. 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. Keep them for future transport if needed.
2. Placement
Place the washing machine on a firm, level surface. Ensure there is adequate space around the appliance for ventilation and maintenance. Avoid direct sunlight or extreme temperatures.
3. Leveling
Adjust the adjustable feet at the bottom of the machine to ensure it is perfectly level. A level machine reduces vibration and noise during operation.
4. Water Connection
Connect the supplied water inlet hose to a cold water tap and to the corresponding inlet on the back of the washing machine. Ensure connections are tight to prevent leaks.
5. Drain Connection
Securely place the drain hose into a standpipe or over the edge of a sink, ensuring it is properly fixed to prevent displacement during draining.
6. Electrical Connection
Plug the power cord into a grounded electrical outlet. Do not use extension cords or adapters.
