Install the appliance on a flat hard floor. Make
sure that air circulation around the appliance is

kitchen units. Level the appliance by raising or
lowering the feet. The feet may be tight to

Never place cardboard, wood or similar
materials under the appliance to compensate
for any unevenness in the floor.
If necessary, check the
setting with a spirit
