Installing Your Washing Machine
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.
• The washing machine is heavy - caution when lifting it. Do not lift by projecting components (e.g.
washing machine door).
• Warning: Frozen hoses may tear/burst. Do not install washing machine in outdoor areas or where
there is a risk of frost.
• Lay hoses and cables in such a way that there is no risk of tripping over them.
