Step-by-Step Installation
- Choose Installation Location: Select a location near necessary plumbing and electrical connections on a solid, level floor with adequate space for the larger 12.8 kg capacity.
- Remove Shipping Materials: Remove all shipping bolts and packaging materials from the washing machine, including transit brackets.
- Connect Water Supply: Connect hot and cold water supply lines to the water inlet valves. Use only new, heavy-duty hoses suitable for high-capacity models.
- Connect Drain Hose: Route the drain hose into a standpipe or laundry tub with a high loop to prevent backflow. Ensure proper drainage for larger loads.
- Electrical Connection: Connect to a properly grounded 230V, 50Hz, AC only outlet. Do not use an extension cord. Ensure circuit can handle higher capacity.
- Level the Washing Machine: Adjust the leveling legs to ensure the washing machine is level from front to back and side to side. Use anti-vibration pads for stability.
- Test Run: Run the washing machine through a complete cycle with a small load to check for leaks and proper operation of the 12.8 kg capacity system.
