Installation
If the appliance must be moved at any time, keep it
in an upright position; if absolutely necessary, it may be
tilted onto its back.
Positioning and levelling

has not been damaged during transportation.
If it has been damaged, contact the retailer and do not proceed

cause vibrations and noise while it is operating.
