Unpacking a washing machine

[tabita]

Hi all,
My Beko washing machine has just been delivered. ECOWMB81445LW_WH. I duly read the instruction manual, and noted to remove the transportation bolts. There were four of them. Unscrewing the bolt was easy, but it was really difficult to pull the whole plug out.

My question is:
So I removed 4 bolts (see picture). The hole labelled "A" already comes capped without a transportation bolt. The machine came with just one other cap, which I have put into the hole "B". What do I use to cap the other 3 holes?

Also, what is packaging reinforcement? I have removed a block of polystyrene from underneath the machine. Is that what a packaging reinforcement is?

Am I doing it right?

Yep you done Good. Bolts out and packing as well. Just use it now.

Oh dear. Found the other 3 plastic caps after clearing up all the foam and boxes. Do I really have to lug it out and put these on?

Also, when unpacking, the manual says to remove the packaging reinforcements before removing the transportation bolts. Is it really important to carry them out in that order?

Open the door and you'll find the drum 'floating', as it should be.
Get rid of the polystyrene, make sure the washer is level and get cracking!
