Installation

Unpacking

All transit bolts and packing must be removed before using the appli-
ance.
Using a spanner, unscrew and remove the
rear right-hand bolt and lay the machine on
its back, taking care not to squash the hoses.
This can be avoided by placing one of the
corner packing pieces between the machine
and the floor.
Remove the poly-
styrene base and
take off the bot-
tom panel by
unscrewing the
central screw.
Carefully slide out
the right poly-
thene bag.
Repeat the opera-
tion for the left
and central poly-
thene bags.
Re-fit the bottom
panel using the 4
screws supplied
with the door
hinges (in the plas-
tic bag) and the previously removed screw.

Set the machine
upright and
remove the two
remaining bolts
from the back.
Pull out the three
plastic spacers from
the holes into
which the bolts were fitted.
Plug the open holes with the plugs which you will find on the back of the
appliance.
You are advised to keep all transit devices so that they can be refitted if the
machine ever has to be transported again.

Positioning

Install the machine on a flat hard floor.
Make sure that air circulation around the machine is not impeded by
carpets, rugs etc.
• Before placing it on small tiles, apply a rubber coating.
• Never try to correct any unevenness in the floor by putting pieces of
wood, cardboard or similar materials under the machine.
• If it is impossible to avoid positioning the machine next to a gas
cooker or coal-burning stove, an insulating panel (85x57 cm) covered
with aluminium foil on the side facing the cooker or stove, must be
inserted between the two appliances;
• The machine must not be installed in rooms where the temperature
can drop below 0.
• The water inlet hose and the drain hose must not be kinked.
• Please ensure that when the appliance is installed, it is easily accessi-
ble for the engineer in the event of a breakdown.

Levelling

Carefully level by
screwing the
adjustable feet in
or out. Never
place cardboard,
wood or similar
materials under
the machine to
compensate for
any unevenness in the floor.
After having levelled the machine, tighten the lock nuts.
