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 baseIf 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
