Setting up and connection instructions

43

• The installation surface must be clean, dry and free of floor wax resi-

due and other lubricating coatings so that the unit does not slide 
away. Do not use any lubricants as sliding aids.

• It is not recommended to set up the washing machine on deep-pile 

carpets or on floor coverings with soft foam underlays, as this would 
mean that the stability of the unit would not be guaranteed.

• Use ordinary rubber mats as underlays in locations with small-format 

tiles.

• Never use wood, card or similar underlays to compensate for minor 

floor unevenness. Always use the adjustable screw-type feet of the 
machine.

• If, for reasons of space, it is not possible to avoid setting up the unit 

next to a gas cooker or coal stove: Insert a thermally-insulating panel 
between the washing machine and the cooker (85 x 57cm). This panel 
must have an aluminium foil on the side against the cooker.

• The washing machine must not be set up in a room where there 

 is a danger of frost. Frost damage!

• The intake and drainage hoses must not be bent or pinched.

When setting up the washing machine on 
a concrete pedestal, it is essential for 
safety reasons to fit stand plates in which 
the washing machine is then adjusted. 
The stand plates are available from the 
Customer Service under spare part 
number 645 425 058.

In the case of vibrating floors, especially wooden beam floors with flex-
ible boards, securely screw a water-resistant wooden panel at least 
15mm thick onto at least 2 of the floor beams. If possible, set up the 
unit in a corner of the room where the wooden floor is best firmly in-
stalled and is therefore least likely to be susceptible to vibrations.
