Positioning
Install the machine on a flat hard floor. Make sure that air circulation around the machine is not impeded by carpets, rugs etc. Check that the machine does not touch the wall or other kitchen units. Level the washing machine by raising or lowering the feet. Once in the right position fix the feet by pushing the nuts against the base of the case. The feet may be tight to adjust as they incorporate but the machine MUST be level and stable.
If necessary, check the setting with a spirit level. Accurate levelling prevents vibration, noise and displacement of the machine during operation.Never place cardboard, wood or similar materials under the machine to compensate for any unevenness in the floor. Some vibration is inevitable, especially if mounted on a wooden floor.
Sprung wooden floors are particularly susceptible to vibration. For advice, consult a builder. If possible, always place the machine on a solid floor.
