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 penetrate
the machine and damage the elec-
tric 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
using the butt straps supplied with
the machine.
Follow the installation instruc-
tions 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
machine from slipping during the
spin cycle.
