Installation surface
Experience has shown that a concrete
floor is the most suitable for a washing
machine. Concrete floors are far less
prone to vibration during the spin cycle
than wooden floorboards.
Please note the following points:
The machine must be level and se-
curely positioned.
To avoid vibrations during spinning,
the machine should not be installed
on soft floor coverings.
If installation must be on a wooden
joist floor: we recommend the use of
a plywood base (at least 70 x 60 x
3 cm). Ideally the base should be
large enough to span several joists
and should be bolted to the joists
and not just the floorboards. Check
for presence of pipes and cables
first.
As a general rule, we recommend
the installation of the machine (or
washer/dryer stack) in the corner of
a room where the stability of the floor
is at its greatest.
If the machine is installed on a
raised plinth, it should be secured
using the 2 butt straps supplied with
the machine, see illustration on p. 38.
Installation
Lift the machine from its packaging
base and move it to its site.
Please note:
Do not lift the machine by the drum
door.
Ensure that the machine feet and the
floor are dry to prevent the machine
from slipping during the spin cycle.
Removing the transit fitting.
Turn the left-hand transit
bar 90° clockwise.
