Please read and follow the instructions carefully.
• In addition to the instructions mentioned here, special regulations of the relevant
water and power supply companies may apply. If in doubt, have the washing machine
connected by a qualified technician.

Choosing the Right Location for Your Washing Machine

Two or more people are required to move
the washing machine.
• The ventilation openings in the base of the washing machine must not be obstructed by
carpet.
• Start by tilting the washing machine backwards.
• One person should stand behind it, holding the rear of the top panel. The other person
should grip the bottom feet at the front.
• Check that you have all the required accessories for installation.
• We recommend that you entrust the installation of the washing machine to a qualified
technician.
An additional space (approximately 120mm) is required at the rear of the
washing machine. This is to allow enough space for the water hose and drain hose
connections.
