3. Drain hose is mounted at the correct height.

4. Washing machine is in a suitable location, on a hard, even surface away from

direct sunlight or heat sources, e.g., radiators, cooking appliances, etc.

may result in unstable working or abnormal noise.

CAUTION

After installing the water supply hose(s) and before starting the washing machine. Open the

taps to create water pressure and check for any leaks in the connectors on both ends. If the

pressure is too high, lower it to prevent water leakage.
