Setup and Installation

Follow these steps to set up your washing machine for first use:

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove the washing machine from its packaging. Check for any damage during transit.
2. Placement: Place the machine on a firm, flat, and stable surface. Ensure there is enough space around it for ventilation and operation. The machine is compact, with dimensions of 37.3 x 35.1 x 52 cm.
3. Drainage: Position the drain hose into a sink, bucket, or drain opening. Ensure the hose is not kinked or blocked. The machine drains water by gravity, so the drain outlet must be lower than the machine's base.
4. Power Connection: Plug the power cord into a grounded electrical outlet that matches the machine's voltage requirements (220V AC).
5. Water Supply: The machine does not have an automatic water inlet. Water must be manually poured into the water inlet port on the top of the machine.
