•Away from direct sunlight.
•Adequate ventilation
•Room temperature that will not fall below 0 ˚C
•Away from sources of heat such as coal or gas
Make sure that the washing machine does not stand on its power cord.
Ventilation openings must not be obstructed by carpeting when the washing machine is installed on a carpeted floor.
Adjusting the leveling feet

1.Loosen the leg bolt by turning it with your hand until it is at the desired height.
2.Tighten the locking nut by turning it with the supplied wrench.

If the washer is placed on an uneven or weak surface, noise or vibration occurs. (Only a l degrees angle is allowed.)
