Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation: Ensure the machine is placed on a level, solid surface. Remove the transit bolts from the rear of the unit before the first cycle to prevent severe vibration damage.

Detergent Care: While the AutoDose feature handles most loads, ensure you use compatible liquid detergents. Periodically check the AutoDose compartment to ensure it remains clean.
