Important! The appliance must not be used in a room where there is a
danger of frost. Frost damage or impaired operation! Frost damage is
not covered by the warranty.
•The surface on which the appliance is to be installed must be firm
and level. Do not install the appliance on carpets or on soft floor cov-
erings.
•The surface on which the appliance is to be installed must be clean
and dry and free from coverings that move, so that the appliance
does not slide.
•If the location in which the appliance is to be installed is fitted with
small-format tiles, put a rubber mat (available in the shops) under
the appliance.
If the appliance is to stand on a
plinth:
In order for the appliance to be se-
cure on the plinth, fixing plates*)
must be mounted, into which the
appliance is inserted.
If the appliance is to stand on floors that vibrate, e. g. floors of
wooden joists with deal boards:
If possible, install the appliance in one corner of the room.
1.Screw a water-resistant wooden board (at least 15 mm thick) onto at
least 2 of the floor joists.

ment.
Making the appliance level
3Automatic foot: The rear foot on the left-hand side of your washing
machine is built as a shock absorbing foot, which is why the appliance
gives in the back left-hand corner if put under load. The automatic foot
guarantees that the appliance does not move even at high spin speeds.
Basically the automatic foot does not need to be set.
