Positioning
Install the machine on a flat hard floor.
Make sure that air circulation around the machine is not impeded by
carpets, rugs etc.
• Before placing it on small tiles, apply a rubber coating.
• Never try to correct any unevenness in the floor by putting pieces of
wood, cardboard or similar materials under the machine.
• If it is impossible to avoid positioning the machine next to a gas
cooker or coal-burning stove, an insulating panel (85x57 cm) covered
with aluminium foil on the side facing the cooker or stove, must be
inserted between the two appliances;
• The machine must not be installed in rooms where the temperature
can drop below 0°C.
• The water inlet hose and the drain hose must not be kinked.
• Please ensure that when the appliance is installed, it is easily accessi-
ble for the engineer in the event of a breakdown.
Levelling
Carefully level by screwing the adjustable feet in or out. Never place
cardboard, wood or similar materials under the machine to compen-
sate for any unevenness in the floor.
Installation on a suspended floor
Suspended wooden floors are particularly
susceptible to vibration. To help prevent
vibration we recommend you place a
waterproof wood panel, at least 15 mm
thick under the appliance, secured to at
least 2 floor beams with screws. If possible
install the appliance in one of the corners
of the room, where the floor is more sta-
ble.
