Safety Information
Always follow basic safety precautions when using electrical appliances to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury. This appliance is intended for household use only. Do not allow children to play with the appliance. Ensure the appliance is properly grounded. Do not touch the power plug with wet hands. Do not install the appliance in a damp place or where it may be exposed to rain.
Setup
1. Unpacking
Carefully remove all packaging materials, including the polystyrene base and any protective films. Remove the transport bolts located at the rear of the machine before use. Failure to do so will cause severe vibration and damage.
2. Installation
- Water Supply: Connect the inlet hose to a cold water tap with a 3/4-inch thread. Ensure connections are tight to prevent leaks.
- Drainage: Position the drain hose correctly into a standpipe or over the edge of a sink, ensuring it is securely fastened to prevent displacement during operation. The drain hose should not be submerged in water.
- Electrical Connection: Plug the appliance into a grounded electrical outlet. Ensure the voltage and frequency match the specifications on the rating plate. Do not use extension cords or multiple adapters.
- Leveling: Adjust the adjustable feet at the bottom of the washing machine to ensure it is perfectly level. A level machine reduces vibration and noise during operation.
