Washer location Conditions

ATTENTION!
HS-6 / EH6 WASHERS ARE SOFT-MOUNTED MACHINES AND THE STRESS TRANSMITTED TO THE
FLOOR IS LOW. HOWEVER, THEIR WEIGHT IS CONSIDERABLE.
INSTALL THE WASHER ON A SECURE BASE CAPABLE OF SUSTAINING THE WASHER'S WEIGHT.
REFER TO STRENGTH REQUIREMENTS TABLE (section 3.3).
RECOMMENDED MINIMUM RESISTANCE OF THE FLOORING: 250kg/cm
INSTALLATION ON UPPER FLOORS
Never install washing machines on suspended floors or above ground level without obtaining approval
from the appropriate qualified technician (structural engineer for building safety and noise
transmission).
See floor static & dynamic strength requirements on INSTALLATION SPECIFICATIONS (section 1.4).
In these installations, the manufacturer declines all responsibility for possible damages caused by
vibrations in the building structures.
The floor of the washer location must be a flat surface (refer to the indications on the INSTALLATION SPECS,
section 1.4),
Respect the ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS indicated on the INSTALLATION SPECS (section 1.4).Also,
respect the work and maintenance areas; these are necessary for the safe use and appropriate maintenance of
the washing machine.
Do not install the washer in improper vented areas. The products used can produce steam and gas products
emissions, which in high concentrations can be very dangerous to health.
TO REDUCE VIBRATION AND SOUND AND TO ENSURE THAT THE MACHINE IS CORRECTLY
BALANCED, IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT THE FOUR BASE LEGS OF THE WASHING MACHINE REST
UNIFORMLY UPON THE FLOOR. DO NOT PLACE ANY TYPE OF ANTI-VIBRATORY DEVICE BETWEEN
THE WASHER AND THE FLOOR.
NEVER INSTALL THE WASHER OVER AREAS BUILT WITH COMBUSTIBLE MATERIAL.
IF WASHERS ARE
INDEPENDENT TO THE WASHER GROUND MUST GROUND THESE SURFACES.
Specific warning for appliances installed IN THE USA /CANADA.
To reduce the risk of fire, this appliance must be fastened or otherwise secured to an uncovered
concrete floor.
DANGER!
Due to design requirements, the dosing dispenser of the washer is located at a height of more than 60
in (1500 mm).
When introducing the chemical washing products in the dispenser, there is a risk, increased for users
of low height, to receive spattering.
As protection, it is essential to install an auxiliary platform to provide easy access and with a non-slip
surface.
