3. Setup
3.1 Unpacking
Carefully remove all packaging materials. The package includes the washing machine and this instruction manual. Inspect the appliance for any damage during transit. Report any damage immediately to your retailer.
3.2 Removing Transport Bolts
Before using the washing machine, it is crucial to remove the transport bolts located at the rear of the appliance. These bolts secure the drum during transport and must be removed to prevent excessive vibration and damage during operation. Keep the bolts for future transport if needed.
3.3 Leveling the Appliance
Place the washing machine on a firm, level floor. Adjust the adjustable feet at the bottom of the appliance until it is perfectly level and stable. Proper leveling minimizes vibration and noise during spin cycles.
3.4 Water and Drain Connections
- Connect the water inlet hose to a cold water tap with a 3/4-inch thread. Ensure the connection is tight to prevent leaks.
- Position the drain hose into a standpipe or over the edge of a sink, ensuring it is securely fixed to prevent displacement during draining. The drain hose should be at an appropriate height (between 60 cm and 100 cm from the floor).
3.5 Electrical Connection
Connect the power cord to a grounded electrical outlet. Ensure the voltage and frequency match the specifications of your appliance (220-240V, 50Hz). Do not use extension cords or adapters.
3.6 First Use
Before washing clothes, run an empty wash cycle (e.g., a quick wash program) without detergent or laundry to clean the drum and internal components.
4. Operating Instructions
