Levelling
Align the appliance using a spirit level.
Incorrect alignment may result in loud
noises, vibrations and machine
"movement".
1.
Loosen the lock nuts using a WAF17
spanner, by turning it in a clockwise
direction.
2.
Check the alignment of the washing
machine with a spirit level, and
adjust it if necessary. Change the
height by turning the appliance feet.
All four appliance feet must stand
firmly on the ground.
3.
The lock nuts on all four appliance
feet must be screwed tightly against
the housing using a suitable WAF17
spanner. In doing so, hold the foot
tight and do not adjust its height.
