Positioning
Install the machine on a flat hard floor.
Make sure that air circulation around the machine is not impeded by
carpets, rugs etc.
• Before placing it on small tiles, apply a rubber coating.
• Never try to correct any unevenness in the floor by putting pieces of
wood, cardboard or similar materials under the machine.
• If it is impossible to avoid positioning the machine next to a gas
cooker or coal-burning stove, an insulating panel (85x57 cm) covered
with aluminium foil on the side facing the cooker or stove, must be
inserted between the two appliances;
• The machine must not be installed in rooms where the temperature
can drop below 0°C.
• The water inlet hose and the drain hose must not be kinked.
• Please ensure that when the appliance is installed, it is easily accessi-
ble for the engineer in the event of a breakdown.
Levelling
Carefully level by screwing the adjustable
feet in or out. Never place cardboard, wood
or similar materials under the machine to
compensate for any unevenness in the
floor.
Installation on a suspended floor
Suspended wooden floors are particularly
susceptible to vibration. To help prevent
vibration we recommend you place a waterproof wood panel, at least
15 mm thick under the appliance, secured to at least 2 floor beams
with screws. If possible install the appliance in one of the corners of
the room, where the floor is more stable.
Water inlet (cold water connection only)
Connect the hose
to a tap with a
3/4” thread.
Installation
should comply
with local water
authority and
building regula-
tions’ require-
ments.
