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
installation footprint.
The washing machine requires a gap of at least 50 mm at each side
to allow for movement during operation. Please ensure a minimum
distance of 1800 m is maintained between the machine 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 4 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
material must be ordered by the customer.
The base frame of the washing machine contains four drilled holes
through which it is possible to drill straight into the floor.
Electrical connection
The electrical connection must only be carried out by a qualified
electrician who must ensure that all electrical work is carried out in
accordance with applicable electrical regulations and standards
(BS 7671 in the UK).
This washing machine must be connected to an electrical mains
supply that complies with local and national regulations. Please also
observe your insurance and energy supplier's regulations as well as
any health and safety at work regulations.
The required voltage, connected load and fusing rating can be
found on the data plate on the washing machine. Before connecting
the machine to the power supply, please ensure that the mains
supply voltage complies with the values given on the data plate.
Connection to a supply voltage other than the one quoted on the
data plate can lead to functional faults and damage the washing
machine!
If more than one voltage is quoted on the data plate, the washing
machine can be converted for connection to the voltages stated.
