The proper location

Install the appliance in a stable, level posi-
tion in frost-free surroundings.
A
If there is danger of frost, drain all re-
maining water (see "Care and mainte-
nance").
A
The floor must have a sufficient load-
bearing capacity!
If, for example, you place the washing
machine and a dryer on top of one an-
other, this combination can – when
loaded – reach a total weight of
160 kg.
A
If mounted on a pedestal:
Install seats for the front feet to pre-
vent the appliance from falling off
when spinning. (Customer service cat-
alogue no. 0005323700)
Important:
• Do not stand appliance on the power
cable.
• Keep at least 1 cm distance to walls of
other furniture.
• Place the appliance only on a firm
floor, do not place on a long-pile car-
pet or similar.

Changing hinge position

If you wish to open the door to the other
side, you can have the hinge position re-
versed from left hand to right hand or vice
versa by our service technician.
