Installation

*INSTALLATION*

Installation surface

A concrete floor is the most suitable
installation surface. It is far less prone
to vibration during the spin cycle than
wooden floorboards or a carpeted
surface.

Please note:

The washer-dryer must be level and
securely positioned.

To avoid vibrations during spinning
the washer-dryer must not be
installed on soft floor coverings.

If installing on a wooden joist floor,
please note:

Check for the presence of pipes and
cables first.

Use a plywood base underneath the
washer-dryer (at least
59 x 52 x 3 cm). The base must span
several joists and be bolted to the
joists and not only to the floorboards.

Useful tip: 

If possible, install the

washer-dryer in a corner of the room, as
this is usually the most stable part of
the floor.

Carrying the washer-dryer to
its installation site

Danger of injury due to

unsecured lid.
Make sure the fixings at the back of
the lid are secure. They may become
brittle due to external circumstances.
There is a danger of the lid being
pulled off when carrying the
appliance.
Before carrying the machine, check
that the lid is secure where it
protrudes at the back of the
machine.

Carry the washer-dryer by the front
feet and by the lid where it protrudes
at the back of the appliance.

Removing the transit bars

Removing the left transit bar

Push the flap outwards and turn the
transit bar 90° using the enclosed
spanner.
