Getting Started: Installation

Unpacking

•  Unpack the appliance but keep all packaging materials until you have made sure 

your new washing machine is undamaged and in good working order. Plastic 
wrapping can be a suffocation hazard for babies and young children, so ensure all 
packaging materials are out of their reach.

•  Unwind the power cord to its full length and inspect it for damage. Do not use 

the appliance if the appliance or its cord have been damaged or are not working 
properly. In case of damage, contact our after sales support line for advice on 
examination, repair or return of the damaged product.

•  Read this manual to familiarise yourself with all the parts and operating principles 

of the washing machine. Pay particular attention to the safety instructions on the 
previous pages.

Levelling the washer

•  Install the washer on a stable and level surface, in 

a dry location, out of sunlight.

•  If levelling is necessary, adjust the adjustable leg, 

as illustrated, right. The maximum permissible 
inclination of the supporting surface is 2 degrees.

•  To make sure you have levelled the machine 

correctly, open the lid and check the the level 
indicator in the top left corner of the cabinet.

CAUTION:  

If you must install the washer on a carpeted floor, make sure not to block 
the ventilation openings on the bottom of the washer.

Base of the Washer

Installing the bottom cover

•  Make sure the power cord is unplugged from the 

mains supply.

•  Place some padding (such as a soft mat, blanket 

or thick towel) on the floor and gently lay the 
washing machine on the soft padding, back side 
down. Take care not to dent the housing.

•  Insert the bottom cover into the hooks of the leg, 

pushing it straight until it reaches into the front 
hooks.

•  Fasten the bottom cover with the supplied 

screw.

•  Carefully set the washer upright.
