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.
After having levelled the machine, tighten the lock nuts.

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
polystyrene
block from the
bottom of the
machine and
release the two
plastic bags by
removing the
adhesive strip.
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.
