Conditions for the installation location
Conditions for the installation location Conditions for the installation location
Conditions for the installation location
•Good ventilation around the unit is required so that the heat can be de-
rived correctly. The distance between the machine and wall must be
approx. 10 cm.
•The device must be installed in a clean place.
•A concrete floor is the most suitable installation surface for a washing
machine, being far less prone to vibration during the spin cycle than
wooden floorboards or a carpeted surface.

9
•Only place the device on a steady and safe surface in order to reduce
vibration and noise to a minimum.
•If the ground is evidently uneven (the maximum allowed tilt angle is 2°), it
must be balanced; otherwise the unit is wrong, vibrates or moves. If the
floor is uneven, adjust the adjustable feet (see “Feet adjustment”).
•Install the device for the wall socket to be freely accessible.
•Power cord and water hoses must not be squashed.
•Avoid the installation:
Avoid the installation:Avoid the installation:
Avoid the installation:
- near heaters, next to a stove, direct sunlight or any other heat
sources;
- at locations with high humidity (e.g. outdoors), as metal parts would
be susceptible to corrosion under such circumstances;
- in rooms where the temperature could drop below freezing. Do not
expose the device any weather.
- near volatile or flammable materials (e.g. gas, fuel, alcohol, paint,
etc.).
