Setup: 1. Unpacking: Carefully remove all packaging materials, including transit bolts from the rear of the machine. 2. Placement: Position the washing machine on a firm, level surface. Use the adjustable feet to ensure it is perfectly balanced to prevent excessive vibration during operation. 3. Water Connection: Connect the inlet hose(s) to the cold (and hot, if applicable) water taps and the corresponding inlets on the back of the machine. Ensure connections are tight to prevent leaks. 4. Drainage: Securely attach the drain hose to a standpipe or laundry sink, ensuring it has a proper siphoning height (refer to the user manual for specific heights). 5. Power: Plug the power cord into a grounded electrical outlet. 6. SmartThings Setup: Download the SmartThings app on your smartphone, create an account, and follow the in-app instructions to connect your washing machine to your home Wi-Fi network and enable AI Energy Mode. Compatibility: - Requires standard cold water supply (and hot water supply if a dual inlet model). - Compatible with standard grounded electrical outlets (check voltage requirements in manual). - SmartThings AI Energy mode requires a smartphone with the SmartThings app and a stable Wi-Fi connection. Care: - Detergent Drawer: Regularly clean the detergent dispenser drawer to prevent buildup of detergent and fabric softener residue. Remove and rinse it under warm water. - Door Seal: Wipe the rubber door seal after each wash to prevent mold and mildew growth. Leave the door slightly ajar when not in use to allow the drum to air dry. - Drum Cleaning: Periodically run an empty hot wash cycle with a washing machine cleaner or white vinegar to sanitize the drum and remove odors. - Exterior: Clean the exterior with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners. - Filter: Check and clean the debris filter (usually located at the bottom front of the machine) every few months to ensure proper drainage.
