I Removing the transit bolts
Fig,®.®
! Before the machine is used for the first time,
it is very important that the transit bolts are
removed from the back of the machine,
! Only use the spanner supplied with the ma
chine if a ring spanner is unavailable.
! Caution. If the spanner slips, there is danger
of injury.
1. Undo and remove the 4 securing bolts (A).
2. Remove the four spacers (B) that will have
dropped down inside the machine. Tilt the
machine to the rear so that they fall out.
3. Insert the cover caps (C) which you will find
in the bag containing the documentation,
! Keep the transit bolts in case you need to
move the machine again (moving house).
Do not transport the machine without first
inserting the transit bolts. To do this, un
screw the back panel D and proceed in re
verse order (1 and 2 above).
■ Installing the machine _______ ^
! When installing and connecting the ma
chine, special attention must be paid to the
safety advice and warnings which have
been identified with an exclamation mark
You should comply with all regulations
issued by your local water and power autho
rities.
! Take care when lifting the machine! Risk of
injury.
! Do not lift the machine by any of the pro
truding parts.
! If in doubt, arrange for the machine to be
connected by a qualified specialist.
Before leaving the factory, every machine is
thoroughly tested under operating conditions.
Any moisture or residual water which you may
find in the machine or drain hose is left over
from these tests.
Installation location
To ensure'that the machine remains stable
while it is spinning, the installation location
must be flat and solid.
Do not site the machine on soft floor coverings
such as vinyls, carpeting or foam-backed carpets.
! In the case of timber beam floors, place
the machine on a water-resistant wooden
board that is at least 30 mm thick and is
screwed to the floor. If possible, the ma
chine should be sited in the corner of a
room.
Secure the machine by attaching retaining
straps to the feet (this applies particularly if
a dryer is going to be placed on top of the
washing machine).
! If the machine is installed on a plinth, the
machine’s feet must be secured with retain
ing straps to prevent it sliding while it is
spinning.
Retaining straps are available as a set from
your authorised dealer.
