Appliance Installation
19
Installation-Site Preparation
• The installation surface must be clean, dry and level.
• Do not install on deep pile carpet.
• If the appliance ist installed next to heat source (e. g. cooking
appliance), a heat insulating pad (85 x 57 cm) must be placed
between the washing machine and the heat source.
• Do not install the appliance in locations where the temperature may
fall below freezing.
• Please ensure that when the appliance is installed it is easily
accessible for the engineer in the event of a breakdown.
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.
Levelling the Appliance
• The appliance must be levelled using the adjustable feet.
• Adjust the feet using the spanner provided.
• Ensure the spanner is securely pushed onto the hex head on the feet
of the appliance.
• Adjust the feet so that the appliance is level. The appliance must not
rock when weight is applied.
• Check the appliance level using a spirit level.
• Never use strips or shims of wood or cardboard etc to compensate for
any uneveness in the floor. Always use the adjustable feet.
Self Adjusting Foot
Appliances with a spin speed of 1400 r. p. m. and over have a self
adjusting foot fitted (rear right).
• If the appliance vibrates or is unstable during a spin cycle of
1400 r. p. m.: Set the three adjustable feet to length of 10 mm.
• If the self adjusting foot (rear right) does not reach the floor:
Manually extend the self adjusting foot to the required length.
