mm behind the appliance. Be sure to allow for
wall, door, or floor moldings that may increase
the required clearances.
WARNING
• This appliance must only be used for domestic
household purposes and should not be used in
mobile applications.
Wooden Floors (Suspended
Floors)
When installing the appliance on wooden floors,
use rubber cups to reduce excessive vibration and
unbalance. Timber or suspended type flooring may
contribute to excessive vibration and unbalance,
errors and malfunction.
