Installation

Unpacking

All transit bolts and packing must be removed before using the appli- ance.

Using a spanner, unscrew and remove the rear right-hand bolt and lay the machine on its back, taking care not to squash the hoses. This can be avoided by placing one of the corner packing pieces between the machine and the floor.

Remove the

block from the

 

 

bottom of the

machine and

release the two

 

plastic bags

 

 

which are fixed

 

 

under the filter

 

 

door.

 

 

Carefully remove the right-hand bag (1) then the left-hand bag (2) by pulling them towards the centre of the machine.

Set the machine

upright and

remove the two remaining bolts

from the back.

Pull out the three plastic spacers from the holes into which the

bolts were fitted.

Plug the open holes with the plugs which you will find in the plastic bag containing the instruction booklet.

You are advised to keep all transit devices so that they can be refitted if the machine ever has to be transported again.

Installation

Positioning

Install the machine on a flat hard floor.

Make sure that air circulation around the machine is not impeded by carpets, rugs etc.

Before placing it on small tiles, apply a rubber coating.

Never try to correct any unevenness in the floor by putting pieces of wood, cardboard or similar materials under the machine.

If it is impossible to avoid positioning the machine next to a gas cooker or coal-burning stove, an insulating panel (85x57 cm) covered with aluminium foil on the side facing the cooker or stove, must be inserted between the two appliances;

The machine must not be installed in rooms where the temperature can drop below 0.

The water inlet hose and the drain hose must not be kinked.

Please ensure that when the appliance is installed, it is easily accessi- ble for the engineer in the event of a breakdown.

Levelling

Carefully level by screwing the adjustable feet in or out. Never place cardboard, wood or similar materials under the machine to compensate for any unevenness in the floor.
