Question

Accepted Answer

The first use of your DARTY PTL75120 washing machine requires careful preparation. Here are the essential steps to follow in order.

Step 1: Unpacking and removing transport elements

Remove the cardboard and polystyrene packaging from the appliance.
Lift the washing machine with at least 2 people and completely remove the packaging from the base, making sure to remove the small triangular foam.
Remove the securing tape from the power cord and the drain hose.
Remove the inlet hose attached to the drum.
Unscrew the 4 special transport bolts with a wrench, then remove them with the rubber plugs by twisting them slightly. Keep these bolts for future transport. Then close the holes with the provided caps.

Step 2: Installation and positioning

Install the washing machine on a firm, dry, and level surface.
Maintain at least 2 cm of free space on each side of the appliance and do not obstruct the ventilation openings.
Avoid direct sunlight and ensure sufficient ventilation around the appliance.
Ensure that the appliance does not rest on its own power cord.

Step 3: Adjusting the stabilizing feet

If the floor is uneven, unscrew the lock nuts on each adjustable foot.
Adjust the height by turning the adjustable feet until all 4 feet are firmly touching the ground.
Use a spirit level to check that the appliance is properly leveled.
Never place objects (cardboard, wood, etc.) under the feet.

Step 4: Connecting to water and electricity

Connect the new water inlet hose provided to the cold water tap. Never reuse an old hose.
Tighten by hand, then slowly open the tap to check for leaks and ensure that water flows correctly.
Check that the water pressure is between 0.1 and 1 MPa.
For drainage, insert the drain hose into the drain of a sink or an appropriate laundry basin, securing it firmly with a cord.
Important: the drain hose must not be bent, crushed, stretched, or placed more than 1 meter above the ground.
Plug the power cable into a compliant electrical outlet. The outlet must remain easily accessible after installation.

Step 5: Cleaning before first use

Before the first actual wash, run a cleaning cycle to remove any residual water and potential odors.
Select the Cotton program at 60°C, without laundry or detergent, and allow the cycle to complete fully.

Once these steps are completed, your DARTY PTL75120 washing machine is ready for use. After each use, turn off the water tap and unplug the appliance. If in doubt about the installation, check that the water tap is closed and consult the FNAC DARTY after-sales service.
