    LEVELLING THE APPLIANCE Having completed the electrical connections, move your appliance to its operating position. To minimise vibration and noise during spinning your appliance must be level and in firm contact with a well supported or preferably solid floor. Failure to level the appliance could lead to instability and consequent damage to adjacent equipment.

    PLUMBING INSTALLATION Location Modern washing machines spin at high speed. To avoid excessive vibration during spinning, install the appliance on a properly supported floor. Always leave at least 5cm of space on each side of the appliance to allow for possible vibration during spinning of unbalanced loads. Space for servicing and fitting Allow space on either side of the appliance for access and servicing.
