Installation and connection

Installation surface

A concrete floor is the most suitable in‐
stallation surface for a washing ma‐
chine, being far less prone to vibration
during the spin cycle than wooden
floorboards or a carpeted surface.
Please note:
 The machine must be level and se‐
curely positioned.
 To avoid vibrations during spinning,
the machine should not be installed
on soft floor coverings.
If installing on a wooden joist floor:
 We recommend a plywood base (at
least 59 x 52 x 3 cm). The base
should span several joists and be
bolted to the joists and not only to
the floorboards. Check for the pres‐
ence of pipes and cables first.
Useful tip: If possible, install the ma‐
chine in a corner, as this is usually the
most stable part of the floor.

Transporting the washing ma‐
chine to its installation site
To manoeuvre the washing machine out
of its packing case to its installation
site, hold it by the front feet as well as
by the edge of the lid where it protrudes
to the rear of the machine.

Ensure that the machine feet and
the floor are dry to prevent the ma‐
chine from slipping during the spin
cycle.

Removing the transit bars

 Remove the left and right covers.
1. Pull off the transit bar covers and
2. then use a screwdriver to release the
