Installation surface
,
Ensure that the machine feet and
the floor are dry to prevent the
machine from slipping during the
spin cycle.
A concrete floor is the most suitable
installation surface for a washing
machine, being far less prone to
vibration during the spin cycle than
wooden floorboards or a carpeted
surface.
^
The machine must be level and
securely positioned.
^
To avoid vibrations during spinning,
the machine should not be installed
on soft floor coverings.
If installing on a wooden joist floor:
^
We recommend a plywood base (at
least 70 x 60 x 3 cm). The base
should span several joists and be
bolted to the joists and not only to the
floorboards. Check for the presence
of pipes and cables first.
^
If possible, install the machine in a
corner, as this is usually the most
stable part of the floor.
Removing the transit bars
^
These must be removed before the
machine is used for the first time.
^
To remove the left and right covers
1
