depending on the structure and
stability of the floor surface where it
is installed.

q Soft floor surfaces, such as
carpets or surfaces with foam
backing, are not suitable. If
possible, place the washing
machine in a corner of the room.
q Screw a water resistant wooden
board (at least 3/4" thick) to the
floor.
q Secure the feet of the washing
machine with holding brackets.
Order the holding brackets (set)

CAUTION
To avoid possible damage to the

4 transport bolts must be removed
before using the appliance for the
first time and must be retained for
any future transport (e.g. when
moving).

wrench provided until they can be
moved freely.
q Completely remove transport bolts
(bolt, spring, washer and bushings)
by reaching through the open
washing machine door and pulling
the drum slightly forward to loosen,
then pull out from the back.
q If the bushings do not come out
when removing the screws, place
screws back into the bushings and
carefully try again. It is important to
do this with the screws, otherwise
the bushings will not come out
properly.
q Insert the covers until they snap in
completely.
Storing the transport bolts
Always keep the transport bolts for
future transportation of the appliance
(such as when moving out).
q Store the transport bolts with the
washer and bushing attached.

must be placed firmly on the ground to
prevent the washing machine from
