INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Transport

Transport must be handled by two persons.
Two persons should respectively stand on two sides of the washing machine and hold with both hands to transport the washing machine.

Placing the washing machine correctly

The washing machine must be installed on firm, flat and slip-proof ground.
Do not place the washing machine on carpeted or wood covered floor. It is forbidden to place the washing machine on a ground platform and rack. The washing machine must keep a minimum distance of 10 cm away from the wall or the hard reflector on three sides.

On sloping ground
On ground platform and rack
On uneven ground

Removing transport bolts and base protector

To protect the washing machine during transport, the internal structure of the washing machine is fastened with four transport bolts. All the transport bolts should be removed before use. (If the bolts are not removed, the washing machine will vibrate vigorously, generate loud noises and function improperly during spinning.)

Loosen the transport bolts (four pieces) with a wrench.
Shake the bolts left and right to pull them out.
Align the bolt covers with the original bolt holes and press until they fit.
- Please keep the transport bolts safe. They are necessary to make a move.
- Do remove the base protector before use, as shown in the figure, or the washing machine will function improperly.

Removing Transport Bolts And Base Protector

Level adjustment

If installed on an uneven place, the washing machine will generate abnormal noises or vibrations or function abnormally when in use.
The feet of the washing machine (the four feetare all adjustable) can be adjusted by the following method:

Loosen clockwise the locking nuts of the washing machine feet with the wrench and rotate the feet to adjust the height so as to make the washing machine level.
When allowed by conditions, use a level meter to check the adjusted state of the washing machine and make calibration when necessary.
Note: all four feet must reliably touch the ground and stand on the ground firmly.
Tighten the locking nuts counterclockwise with the wrench to lock the nuts to the bottom of the case.
After adjustment, press the diagonal corners of the top cover of the washing machine by a proper force with two hands to confirm that the washing machine is stable.

CONNECTION OF DRAIN HOSE

When washing machine not in use, put drain hose at back of washing machine.(as pie 1 shows)
When washing machine in use, put drain hose into drainage pond (as pie 2 shows); you can also put end of drain hose into sewer, leaving space between end of drain hose and sewer elbow to avoid difficulty in draining water out of washing machine.
Clean filter in pump periodically to keep washing machine working normally.
