Usage Features
Installation:
The appliance requires a flat, hard floor with an allowable slope of 1°. It should be placed within 1 meter of a power outlet. Additional clearance of 10 cm at the rear and 2 cm on the right and left sides is recommended. The appliance must be properly grounded. Transit bolts must be removed before operation to prevent vibration and noise. Anti-slip sheets can be used on slippery surfaces, and rubber cups are recommended for wooden floors to reduce vibration. Water supply hoses need to be securely connected, ensuring rubber seals are in place and water pressure is between 0.1 and 1.0 MPa. The drain hose should not be placed higher than 100 cm above the floor.
