5. Open the porthole and remove the
polystyrene block fitted on the door
seal.
6. Fill the smaller upper hole and the two
large ones with the corresponding

Positioning and levelling
Install the machine on a flat hard floor. Make
sure that air circulation around the machine
is not impeded by carpets, rugs etc. Check
that the machine does not touch the wall or
other kitchen units.
Caution! Never place cardboard,
wood or similar materials under the
machine to compensate for any
unevenness in the floor.
If the floor is carpeted or covered with
crumbly or soft material, insert a rigid
support base under the feet to prevent
noise, vibration or displacement. The base
should protrude a few centimetres beyond
the edges of the machine.
Warning! The machine should
NOT be placed on deep pile
carpeting.
Level the washing machine by raising or
lowering the feet. The feet may be tight to
adjust as they incorporate a self locking nut,
but the machine MUST be level and stable.
If necessary, check the setting with a spirit
level. Any necessary adjustment can be
made with a spanner. Accurate levelling
prevents vibration, noise and displacement
of the machine during operation.
Some vibration is inevitable, especially if
mounted on a wooden floor. Sprung
wooden floors are particularly susceptible to
vibration. For advice, consult a builder. If
possible, always place the machine on a solid
floor.
