Installation

Transport the washing machine to its installation site using a suitable
pallet truck and remove the transport packaging.
The washing machine must be set up on a level and firm surface with
the minimum stated load bearing capacity (see "Technical data").
The floor load created by the washing machine is concentrated and
transferred to the installation footprint via the machine feet.
Useful tip: A concrete floor is the most suitable installation surface,
being far less prone to vibration during the spin cycle than wooden
floorboards or a carpeted surface.
The washing machine requires a gap of at least 50 mm at each side
to allow for movement during operation. To ensure suitable access for
further maintenance and service work, please ensure a minimum
distance of 400 mm is maintained between the back of the machine
and the wall.
The washing machine can be installed on a concrete plinth if desired.
The concrete materials and the durability of the concrete plinth must
be assessed in accordance with the floor load bearing capacity
given in "Technical data".
To guarantee the stability of the washing machine, make sure that

the concrete plinth is sufficiently stable on the floor and that it is
capable of withstanding any burden or force from the washing
machine.
The washing machine must be secured to the concrete plinth using

the fixtures and fastenings supplied.
 The washing machine must be secured to the plinth
immediately after installation!
There is a risk of the washing machine falling off a raised plinth
during a spin cycle if it is not secured.
