Installation

Installation surface

A concrete floor is the most suitable
installation surface. It is far less prone
to vibration during the spin cycle than
wooden floorboards or a carpeted
surface.
Please note:
 The washer-dryer must be level and
securely positioned.
 To avoid vibrations during spinning,
the washer-dryer must not be
installed on soft floor coverings.
If installing on a wooden joist floor,
please note:
 Use a plywood base underneath the
washer-dryer (at least
59 x 52 x 3 cm). The base must span
several joists and be bolted to the
joists and not only to the floorboards.
Tip: If possible, install the washer-dryer
in a corner of the room, as this is
usually the most stable part of the floor.

Danger of injury due to
unsecured washer-dryer.
If the washer-dryer is installed on an
existing on-site plinth (concrete or
brick), there is a danger of the
machine falling off the plinth during
the spin cycle.
Secure the washer-dryer with a
fastening bracket (optional
accessory).
72
Carrying the washer-dryer to
its installation site

Danger of injury due to
unsecured lid.
The fixings at the back of the lid
could break as a result of external
forces. There is a danger of the lid
being pulled off when carrying the
machine.
Before carrying the machine, check
that the lid is secure where it
protrudes at the back of the
machine.
 Carry the washer-dryer by the front
feet and by the lid where it protrudes
at the back of the machine.
