Installation surface
A concrete floor is the most suitable
installation surface for a washing
machine, being far less prone to
vibration during the spin cycle than
wooden floorboards or a carpeted
surface.
Please note the following points:
^The machine must be level and
securely positioned.
^To avoid vibrations during spinning,
the machine should not be installed
on soft floor coverings.

machine housing
3) the drain hose
1) Inlet hose

pressure of more than 7,000 kPa.
2) Electronic unit and washing
machine housing

Connection to the water
supply
The machine should be connected to a
mains water supply in accordance with
local and national safety regulations.
The German authorities do not require it
to have a non-return valve as the
washing machine has been designed
to comply with DIN regulations.
The machine is designed to operate
with a flow pressure of between
100 kPa and 1,000 kPa. If it is higher
than 1,000 kPa it is essential to fit a
pressure reducing valve.
