INSTALLATION
Installation Place Requirements
Before installing the appliance, check the following information to make sure that the
appliance should be installed in a correct place.
Installation Location
• This appliance must be installed on
firm flooring to minimize vibration
during the spin cycle. Concrete
flooring is best, being far less prone to
vibration during the spin cycle than
wooden floorboards or a carpeted
surface.
• If it is impossible to avoid positioning
the appliance next to a gas cooker or
coal burning stove, an insulation (850 X
600 mm) covered with aluminum foil
on the side facing the cooker or stove
must be inserted between the two
appliances.
• Ensure that when the appliance is
installed, it is easily accessible for an
engineer in the event of a breakdown.
• When installing the appliance, adjust
all four feet using the transit bolt
spanner provided to ensure the
appliance is stable.
Floor Installation
To ensure sufficient clearance for water
inlet hoses, drain hose and airflow, allow
minimum clearances of at least 20 mm at
the sides and 100 mm behind the
appliance. Be sure to allow for wall, door,
or floor moldings that may increase the
required clearances.
WARNING
• This appliance must only be used for
domestic household purposes and
should not be used in mobile
applications.
NOTE
• Never try to level any uneven floor by
putting pieces of wood, cardboard or
similar materials under the appliance.
Wooden Floors (Suspended
Floors)
When installing the appliance on
wooden floors, use rubber cups to
reduce excessive vibration and
unbalance. Timber or suspended type
flooring may contribute to excessive
vibration and unbalance, errors and
malfunction.
