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 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:
Install the machine on a plywood
base (at least 59 x 52 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.
Useful tip:
If possible, install the
machine in a corner. This is usually the
most stable part of the floor.
Transporting the washing
machine 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 appliance, check
that the lid is secure where it
protrudes at the back.
Carry the washing machine by the
front feet and by the lid where it
protrudes at the back of the
appliance.
