Installation and connection instructions
41
Prepare the installation place
•
The installation surface must be clean and dry, free of floor polish
residues and other greasy coatings so that the unit does not slip
away. Do not use lubricants as a sliding aid.
•
Installation on a high-veil carpet or floor tiles with soft sponge backs
is not recommended because the standing safety of the appliance is
then no longer ensured.
•
By installation surfaces with small-format tiles, lay a conventional
rubber mat underneath.
•
Minor unevenness of the floor surface should never be levelled out by
laying pieces of wood, card or similar materials, but rather should al-
ways be compensated for by adjusting the screw feet.
•
If, for space reasons, it is not possible to avoid setting up the unit di-
rectly next to a gas or coal-fired cooker: install a thermal insulation
panel between the cooker and washing machine (85 x 57cm) which
must have an aluminium film on the side against the cooker.
•
The washing machine must not be set up in a room where there is a
danger of frost. Frost hazard!
•
Flexible feed and drain tubings may not be crinkled or squeezed.
Installation on a concrete base
If the unit is set up on a concrete base,
for safety reasons it is essential to fit
stand plates in which the washing ma-
chine is adjusted. The stand plates are
available from Customer Service under
the spare parts number 645 425 058.
Installation on vibrating floors
Where the floor vibrates, particularly in the case of wooden beam
floors with pliable boards, securely screw a water-resistant wooden
panel at least 15mm thick onto at least 2 floor planks. If possible, set up
the unit in the corner of a room, as the wooden floor is optimally re-
strained there and is therefore least likely to be subject to resonance vi-
brations.
