Installation; Siting; Floor - Electrolux W475N Installation Manual

Installation

Leave the machine on the transport pallet until it
can be placed in the final, prepared position.

Siting

Install the machine close to a floor drain or open
drain. In order to make installation and servicing
the machine easier the following clearances are
recommended:
• At least 500 mm between the machine and
1
the wall behind.
• Minimum 25 mm to next machine if more than
one machine are installed on a foundation.

Floor

In this type of machine, the drum is attached di-
rectly to the frame. As a result the floor under the
machine must be stable enough to absorb the
dynamic forces generated during spin cycles.
For that reason, the mounting bolts must be cast
into the floor material itself.
The machine must be securely fastened to a
suitable foundation using M16 (5/8 inch) th-
readed rod, flat washers and lock nuts or lock
washers. Failure to properly secure the machine
to its foundation, or securing the machine to an
inadequate foundation, will result in severe vibra-
tion, damage to the machine, and will void the
manufacturer´s warranty.
When fixing the machine to an existing cement
floor, it must be and at least 100 mm thick.
The floor must be able to withstand the loads
indicated in the table.
If it isn't possible to cast the bolts into the floor,
an alternative might be to use so-called chemical
anchors. Your local dealer can provide the infor-
mation you need.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
The use of chemical anchors and/or the use of
a fabricated steel mounting base DOES NOT re-
duse the thickness requirement for the underly-
ing concrete floor. The floor MUST BE AT LEAST
8 INCHES (200 MM) THICK, or a new concrete
foundation MUST be poured.
