Prepare the Installation Location

• The installation surface must be clean, dry and
free of floor wax residue and other lubricating
coatings so that the unit does not slide away. Do
not use any lubricants as sliding aids.
• It is not recommended to set up the washing
machine on deep-pile carpets or on floor cover-
ings with soft foam underlays, as this would mean
that the stability of the unit would not be guaran-
teed.
• Use ordinary rubber mats as underlays in loca-
tions with small-format tiles.
• Never use wood, card or similar underlays to
compensate for minor floor unevenness. Always
use the adjustable screw-type feet of the
machine.
• If, for reasons of space, it is not possible to avoid
setting up the unit next to a gas cooker or coal
stove: Insert a thermally-insulating panel between
the washing machine and the cooker (85 x 57cm).
This panel must have an aluminium foil on the
side against the cooker.
• The washing machine must not be set up in a
room where there is a danger of frost. Frost dam-
age!
• The intake and drainage hoses must not be bent
or pinched.
