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 essen-
tial to fit stand plates in which the
washing machine is adjusted. The
stand plates are available from
Customer Service under the spare
parts number 645 425 058.
