Installation instruction
Transit security bars
Before starting the machine up, the transport security bars must be removed as follows: You are advised to keep all the transport security bars. In case the appliance has to be transported again.
1.Unscrew and remove the three rear screws by means of a key.
2.Lean the appliance back on the rear and fit one of the polystyrene angles between the appliance and the floor.
Make sure the hoses are not squashed.
3.Carefully remove the plastic bags on the left and the right, pulling them to the centre of the appliance.
4.Place the machine in an upright position and remove the three plastic bolts.
5.Plug the 3 holes with the plastic plugs which you can find in the envelope containing the instruction booklet.
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.
