Installing the washing machine

Transporting the appliance

• Do not lay the washing machine on its front nor
on its right side (looking at it front-on). Otherwise
electrical components could become wet.
• Never transport the appliance without using
transportation locks. Do not remove the transpor-
tation locks prior to arrival at the site at which the
appliance is to be installed. Transporting the
appliance without the use of transportation locks
can cause damage to the appliance.
• Never lift the appliance by the open loading door
nor by the base.
• When transporting the washing machine using a
handcart: place the handcart on the side of the
appliance only.

lock before using the appliance. Carefully store all
the parts belonging to the transportation lock for
possible future use when transporting the appliance
(such as moving house).
1. Open the two hose retainers located at the rear of
the appliance and remove the hoses and electri-
cal cord.
2. Pull the two hose retainers off the appliance by
