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.
• The floor surface must be clean and dry, without any wax or polish
residue to avoid any possibility of sliding. Do not use viscous sub-
stances to move the appliance into place by sliding it across the floor.
• It is inadvisable to place the machine on long-haired rugs or carpet
or on layers of foam-rubber as this would affect its stability.
• Before placing it on small tiles, apply a rubber coating.
• If the appliance is positioned on flexible floors, especially wooden
beams with flexible floorboards, use a 15 mm thick, water resistant
panel of wood, screwed to at least two of the floor beams. If possi-
ble, position the machine in a corner of the room, where the beams
are more solidly fixed and tend to be more stable.
• Never try to correct any unevenness in the floor by putting pieces of
wood, cardboard or similar materials under the machine.
• If it is impossible to avoid positioning the machine next to a gas
cooker or coal-burning stove, an insulating panel (85x57 cm) covered
with aluminium foil on the side facing the cooker or stove, must be
inserted between the two appliances;
• The machine must not be installed in rooms where the temperature
can drop below 0.
• The water inlet hoses and the drain hose must not be kinked.
Levelling
Carefully level by
screwing the
adjustable feet in
or out. Never
place cardboard,
wood or similar
materials under
the machine to
compensate for
any unevenness in the floor.
After having levelled the machine, tighten the lock nuts.
