Positioning
Install the machine on a flat hard floor. Make sure that air circulation around the machine is not impeded by carpets, rugs etc. Check that the machine does not touch the wall or other kitchen units. Level the washing machine by raising or lowering the feet. The feet may be tight to adjust as they incorporate a self locking nut, but the machine MUST be level and stable.
Any necessary adjustment can be made with a spanner. Accurate levelling prevents vibration, noise and displace- ment of the machine during operation. Never place card- board, wood or similar materials under the machine to compensate for any unevenness in the floor.
If necessary, check the setting with a spirit level.
