Installation and Connection Instructions

Prepare the installation place

•The installation surface must be clean and dry, free of floor wax and other smearing substances, so that the appliance does not slip off. Do not use any lubricant as 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.

•Small unevenness of the floor surface should never be levelled out by laying pieces of wood, carton or similar elements, but rather basically compensated by adjusting the screw feet.

•When it is unavoidable to install the appliance besides a gas or a coal-fuelled cooker, due to spatial reasons: insert a piece of heat- insulating board (85 x 57 cm) between the cooker and the washing machine; the board side facing the cooker must be provided with an aluminium foil.

•The washing machine may not be installed in a frost-endangered room. Frost-caused damages!

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

Installation on a concrete base

When installing on a concrete base, for safety reasons it is imperative that steel plates are installed, the washing machine is then installed in these plates. The steel plates are available from customer service under ET-No. 645 425 058.

Installation on vibrating floors

In the case of floors that vibrate, especially wooden floors with floor- boards that flex, a water-proof wooden panel of at least 15 mm thick- ness must be firmly screwed to at least 2 floor beams. If possible, install the appliance in a corner of the room: the wooden floor is more firmly supported in the corners and thus has less tendency to resonant vibra- tion.
