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 completely level, horizontal
and firm surface with the minimum stated load bearing capacity (see
"Technical data").
Tip: A concrete floor is the most suitable installation surface. It is far
less prone to vibration during the spin cycle than wooden floorboards
or a carpeted surface.
The floor load created by the washing machine is the load exerted by
the area of the machine in contact with and transferred to the install-
ation surface.
The washing machine requires a gap of at least 50 mm on each side
to allow for movement during operation. Please ensure a minimum
distance of 400 mm is maintained between the rear of the appliance
and the rear wall.
The washing machine must not be installed on a carpeted floor.
The feet of the washing machine must be secured to the fastening
points on the floor using the fittings supplied.
The fittings supplied are for bolting the machine to a concrete floor. If
other floor types are present at the installation site, the fastening ma-
terial must be ordered by the customer.
Installation on concrete plinth
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 ma-
chine.
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 dur-
ing a spin cycle if it is not secured.
Levelling the machine
Align the washing machine vertically and horizontally using the ad-

justable feet and a spirit level.
