Installation-Site Preparation
• The installation surface must be clean, dry and level.
• Do not install on deep pile carpet.
• If the appliance is installed next to heat source (e. g. cooking appli-
ance), 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 accessi-
ble 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.

Important! Never use strips or shims of wood or cardboard etc. to
compensate for any uneveness in the floor. Always use the adjustable
feet.
