Important !
You are advised to keep all the packaging for re-
use in case the machine is to be transported
again. In case of moving out the same
precautions as per paragraph “The dangers of
freezing” must be taken i.e. the residual water
in the hoses must be pumped out.
Positioning
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.
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.
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
