Installation & Adjustment
Please install and adjust the machine according to the directions contained in this manual. It is very important to follow these directions for the safe operation of the machine and to ensure your machine operates correctly.
Installing the bottom plate
The purpose of the bottom plate is to suppress noise from the washing machine during operation Steps:
- Tilt the machine backward against a wall. (ensure that the machine is well supported)
- Place the plate onto the bottom of the machine.
- Use a screwdriver to tighten the screw ( in the accessory bag) securing the panel to the bottom of the washer.
- Once the screw is tight and the panel is secure, return the washer to its standing position.
Note: The washing machine has ventilation openings in the base, the product must not be placed on a carpeted surface.
Balancing the washing machine
Installation on an uneven surface can lead to ‘out of balance’ events, instability in the machine operation, or even failure to successfully complete a wash cycle.
Please refer to the following method for adjustment:
- Confirm whether the machine is level.
- Lift the lid and ensure that the bowl is central to the top deck opening.
Adjust the two front leveling feet as necessary.
Drain hose
- Remove the cap of the drain hose outlet.
Note: A small amount of water may come out when the cap is removed. This is normal as there may be some water left in the pump as the machine is tested during manufacture. - First, connect the drain hose to the connection point on the lower right side of the cabinet, and fasten it with a drain hose clamp (provided).
- Connect the drain hose guide onto the outside of the drain hose. To guide the drain hose over the tub or standpipe, the bracket MUST be fitted to the drain hose.
1. The height of the standpipe or tub should be between 0.8 – and 1.2 m.
2. To avoid siphoning, the drain hose should not extend more than 20 mm from the end of the guide.
Water inlet
- Connect the cold hose (blue connector) to the cold tap and the hot hose (red connector) to the hot tap.
You may have to use pliers to tighten the coupling.
Do not over tighten as this may cause damage to the valve or hose fittings. - Connect the other end of the hose to the respective hot and cold inlet valves, located at the rear of the washing machine.
- We recommend replacing the inlet hoses every 5 years.
Hoses should be checked from time to time and replaced if any wear, damage, or leaks are found.
The connection between the water inlet hose and the washer
- Do not take off the water absorption cushion.
Please check if the cushion has dropped off or is damaged before attaching it to the washing machine.
If this happens please contact our after-sale department immediately. - Put the nut of the water inlet hose onto the inlet valve thread.
- Fasten the nut.
Check the inlet hose connections
- Swing the hose gently to confirm that the hose is securely fastened and can pivot as required
- After installation, open the tap to check for leaks.
- Do not bend the hose unduly.
- Periodically check the hose connections are firm at both ends. This is to ensure the connections remain water-tight over time.
Before washing
Preparation before washing
- Connect the water inlet hose. Open the water faucet.
- Insert the power plug into the wall power socket.
- Ensure the drain hose is mounted at the correct height.
- When the water pressure in the user’s home is too low, it may not be able to wash detergents and softeners effectively (which may agglomerate).
- Please clean the detergent box when required to maintain a clean surface.
It is suggested to dilute the detergents before putting laundry into the inner tub. It is suggested that the softener be diluted and put into the inner tub directly after the last
rinse. - Before washing, we recommend that a “Drum Clean” cycle is run without any clothing.
Check the following before washing
To reduce the noise, turn clothes inside out or place them in a laundry bag.
a. Check if the laundry has any special washing instructions.
b. Divide the laundry into colorfast and non-color fast items. When washing jeans and other easily discolored clothes, please soak them with water first. After soaking, put it into the washing machine.
c. Separate items that do not absorb water easily and wash by hand. Make sure the clothes are wet before washing, such as Wool
d. For heavily soiled items, please first remove loose dirt.
e. For those items that may attract lint, please turn inside out before washing.
f. Do not put laundry soiled with chemicals or solvents into the washing machine.
g. When washing cotton clothes with strong water absorption, such as bedsheets and quilt covers, it is recommended to increase the water level manually after the default water level is completed. Increasing the water level can improve wash performance.
For those items that may attract lint, please turn them inside out before washing.
