Prepare the installation place

The installation surface must be clean and dry, free of floor polish residues and other greasy coatings so that the unit does not slip away. Do not use lubricants as a sliding aid.

Installation on a high-veil carpet or floor tiles with soft sponge backs is not recommended because the standing safety of the appliance is then no longer ensured.

By installation surfaces with small-format tiles, lay a conventional rubber mat underneath.

Minor unevenness of the floor surface should never be levelled out by laying pieces of wood, card or similar materials, but rather should al- ways be compensated for by adjusting the screw feet.

If, for space reasons, it is not possible to avoid setting up the unit di- rectly next to a gas or coal-fired cooker: install a thermal insulation panel between the cooker and washing machine (85 x 57cm) which must have an aluminium film on the side against the cooker.

The washing machine must not be set up in a room where there is a danger of frost. Frost hazard!

Flexible feed and drain tubings may not be crinkled or squeezed.

Installation on a concrete base

If the unit is set up on a concrete base, for safety reasons it is essen- tial to fit stand plates in which the washing machine is adjusted. The stand plates are available from Customer Service under the spare parts number 645 425 058.
