other furniture.
• Place the machine on a firm surface,
never on a long-pile carpet or similar
surface.

rear panel and use a suitable tool
(such as the handle of a screw driver)
to push them into place. The smaller
cover is intended for the top-mot
opening.
Store the transit bars in a safe place.
• They will be required if the washing
machine is to be transported again
(e.g. if you move house).

Important:
• Bear the permissible water pressure in
mind (see "Technical specifications").
Attach a pressure reducing valve if water pressure is higher.
• Do not connect to a water heater (instantaneous water heater or unpressurised boiler), as the water pressure is
insufficient.
• Check with customer service for hose
extensions. Do not use homemade extensions with hose clamps or similar!
• Use only the new hose supplied with
the machine, not an old existing one!
• Ensure that there are no sharp bends
in the hose!
