Installation and Connection Instructions

Installation-Site Preparation

• The installation surface must be clean, dry and level.
• Do not install on deep pile carpet.
• If the appliance is installed next to heat source (e. g. cooking appli-
ance), a heat insulating pad (85 x 57 cm) must be placed between the
washing machine and the heat source.
• Do not install the appliance in locations where the temperature may
fall below freezing.
• Please ensure that when the appliance is installed it is easily accessi-
ble for the engineer in the event of a breakdown.
Installation on a Suspended Floor
Suspended wooden floors are particularly susceptible to vibration. To
help prevent vibration we recommend you place a waterproof wood
panel, at least 15 mm thick under the appliance, secured to at least 2
floor beams with screws. If possible install the appliance in one of the
corners of the room, where the floor is more stable.

Levelling the Appliance

Self adjusting foot: The back right foot of your washing machine is
3
designed like a spring leg. This makes the machine very stable even at
high spin speeds.
If the washing machine is not stable proceed as follows:
1. Set the three adjustable feet to length of 10 mm. Use the supplied
0
spanner.
If the self adjusting foot does not reach to the floor:
2. Manually extend the self adjusting foot to the required length.
3. Check the appliance is level using a spirit level.
Important! Never use strips or shims of wood or cardboard etc. to
compensate for any uneveness in the floor. Always use the adjustable
feet.
