Casting A Plinth - Electrolux W3 Series Installation Manual

4.2.1

Casting a plinth

A plinth should be used where the existing floor is less than 150 mm thick or in order to ensure that the machine is
above the level of any water leakages.
The plinth should be approximately 150 - 200 mm in height.
Proceed as follows:
• Break up the existing floor to a depth of approx. 75 mm and check that the sides of the hole are tapered outward
so that the longest side at the bottom measures 120 mm more than at the top.
• Make the mould for the plinth.
• Moisten the hole well and apply cement to the sides and bottom.
• 4 bolts must be set into the concrete of the machine base. The bolts need to project 40 mm out of the base. Pour
the concrete into the prepared base mould and make sure that the surface is level. Check the previous table for
the correct position of the bolts.
• The concrete should be left to set for at least two days before mounting the machine on the plinth.
