Les dimensions représentent les dégagements recommandés
permis, hormis pour les ouvertures de ventilation de la porte
du placard qui correspondent aux dimensions minimales
nécessaires. Ce lave-linge a été testé pour une installation
avec des dégagements de 0 mm (0") sur les côtés. On peut
éventuellement laisser davantage de dégagement pour faciliter
l’installation et l’entretien, et des distances de séparation pour
les appareils ménagers voisins et des dégagements pour les
murs, portes et plinthes. Ajouter un espace supplémentaire de
25 mm (1") de tous les côtés du lave-linge pour réduire le
transfert de bruit. Si l’on installe une porte de placard ou une
porte à persiennes, des ouvertures d’aération au sommet et au
bas de la porte sont nécessaires.
SYSTÈME DE VIDANGE
Le système de vidange du lave-linge peut être installé à
l’aide d’un conduit d’évacuation au plancher, un tuyau de
