- So, we brought our equipment from the store and begin to unpack it. Pay attention to additional temporary fasteners. Bolts fixing the drum, belts with braces - all this must be removed before installation.
- Install a washing machine in the kitchen you need close to the sink, because it will be easier for you to connect it. Check the level with the leveling of the surface, the adjustable feet will allow the correct installation of the equipment.
