1. Introduzzjoni u Informazzjoni dwar is-Sigurtà

Thank you for choosing a Vestel washing machine. This manual provides essential information for the safe and efficient operation of your appliance. Please read it thoroughly before installation and first use, and keep it for future reference.

1.1 Twissijiet ta' Sigurtà Ġenerali

• Sigurtà Elettrika: Ensure the appliance is connected to a grounded outlet. Do not use extension cords or multiple adapters. Disconnect from power before cleaning or maintenance.
• Sigurtà tal-Ilma: Kun żgur li l-pajpijiet tad-dħul tal-ilma u tad-drenaġġ huma installati b'mod korrett biex tevita t-tnixxijiet. Tħaddimx il-magna jekk ikun hemm tnixxija tal-ilma.
• Sigurtà tat-Tfal: Keep children away from the appliance during operation. Packaging materials can be dangerous for children.
• Partijiet li jiċċaqilqu: Do not reach into the drum while it is spinning. The door can become very hot during high-temperature washes.
• Installazzjoni: The appliance must be installed by a qualified person. Ensure all transport bolts are removed before use.

2. Setup u Installazzjoni

2.1 Tneħħija tal-Boltijiet tat-Trasport u l-Iżpakkjar

Before operating the washing machine, all transport bolts located at the rear of the appliance must be removed. These bolts secure the drum during transit and must be removed to prevent damage during operation.

Proċedura:

1. Sib il-boltijiet tat-trasport fuq il-pannell ta' wara.
2. Using an appropriate wrench, loosen and remove all bolts.
3. Daħħal l-għotjien tal-plastik provduti fit-toqob.

2.2 Pożizzjonament u Livellar

Place the washing machine on a firm, level floor. Adjust the adjustable feet until the appliance is perfectly level and stable. This prevents excessive vibration and noise during operation.

2.3 Konnessjoni tal-Ilma

Connect the water inlet hose to a cold water tap with a 3/4-inch thread. Ensure the connections are tight to prevent leaks. Position the drain hose into a standpipe or over the edge of a sink, ensuring it is securely fixed to prevent displacement during draining.
