LEVELLING THE WASHING MACHINE

After having selected the most suitable location for the appliance, make sure it is level by regulating the adjustable feet (Fig. 6).

Pay particular attention to the positioning and levelling of the washing machine and make sure that the lock nuts are tight.

If the appliance is not le velled correctly, it will be unstab le and noisy and may cause damage.

If the washing machine is installed on a carpeted floor, leave sufficient space between the appliance and the floor to guarantee the free circulation of air.

It is not advisable to install the appliance in rooms where the temperature could fall below 0°C.

In the under -worktop versions, screw in the f eet until the spring is full y compressed, thus allowing the appliance to be installed under the w orktop (Fig. 6B).
