Do not install the appliance on carpeted floors or soft floor coverings.
Making the appliance level The four feet of the appliance are pre-adjusted. Large degrees of unevenness can be compensated for by individually adjusting 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 level out unevenness in the floor, but adjust the height adjustable screw feet instead.
