Setup: As a built-in appliance, professional installation is recommended to ensure it integrates seamlessly with your kitchen cabinetry and plumbing. Follow the detailed instructions in your user manual for correct leveling, water connection, and electrical hook-up. Compatibility: This machine is specifically designed to be integrated into kitchen units, fitting behind a cupboard door for a flush, concealed look. Ensure your cabinet dimensions match the appliance requirements. Care: To maintain optimal performance: - Regularly clean the detergent drawer to prevent residue buildup. - Wipe down the door seal after each wash to prevent mold and odors. - Run a maintenance wash (e.g., a hot wash with no clothes and a descaler) every few months to clean the drum and pipes. - Clean the drain pump filter periodically, as instructed in the manual, to remove lint and small objects.
