• If the location in which the appliance is to be installed is fitted with

small-format tiles, put a rubber mat (available in the shops) under
the appliance.

base:
In order for the appliance to be se-
cure on the base, fixing plates*)

appliance is inserted.

If the appliance is to stand on a floor which moves, e.g. a suspend-
ed wooden floor:
Place the appliance in an area as close as possible to a corner of the
room.

least 2 of the floor joists.

Automatic foot: The rear foot on the left-hand side of your washing
machine is built as a shock absorbing foot, which is why the appliance
gives in the back left-hand corner if put under load. The automatic foot
guarantees that the appliance does not move even at high spin speeds.
Basically the automatic foot does not need to be set.

The four feet of the appliance are
pre-adjusted.
Large degrees of unevenness can be
compensated for by individually ad-
justing the height adjustable screw
feet.
Use the special spanner supplied to
do this.
Important Do not use pieces of
wood, cardboard or such like to lev-
el out unevenness in the floor, but
adjust the height adjustable screw
feet instead.
