Installation surface
A concrete floor is the most suitable
surface for a washing machine, being
far less prone to vibration during the
spin cycle than wooden floorboards or
a carpeted surface.
Please note the following points:
^ The machine must be level and se-
curely positioned.
Do not install the machine near or di-
rectly above an open gully or floor
drain. Moisture from these can pene-
trate the machine and damage the
electric components.
^ To avoid vibrations during spinning
the machine should not be installed
on soft floor coverings.
If installing on a wooden floor joist:
^ We recommend a plywoood base (at
least 70 x 60 x 3 cm).
The base should span several joists
and be bolted to the joists and not
only to the floorboards. Check for the
presence of pipes and cables first.
If possible, install the machine in a cor-
ner, as this is usually the most stable
part of the floor.
If the machine is installed on a
raised plinth, it must be secured us-
ing the butt straps supplied with the
machine.
Follow the installation instructions
supplied.
Installation
Lift the machine from its packaging
base and move it to its site.
Please note:
^ Do not lift the machine by the drum
door.
Ensure that the machine feet and the
floor area are dry to prevent the ma-
chine from slipping during the spin
cycle.
