8. INSTALLATION OF RIGID WASHING MACHINES (GROUPS B-C)

WARNING! Rigid washing machines must not be installed on non-foundation floors without
authorisation from a technician familiar with the structure and resistance of the building.
Please check the weight of the machine plus the dynamic forces generated during spinning. The
manufacturer does not accept responsibility for any damage due to vibration in this type of
installation.
See the "Main Specifications" table for details of the weight of the machine and the forces transmitted during
spinning.
The anchorage base IS SOLD SEPARATELY.
WARNING! RIGID MACHINES MUST BE ANCHORED TO THE FLOOR. Correct construction of the
anchorage to the floor is essential to ensure the correct working of the appliance and to prevent
serious damage to the structure of the machine.
Before mounting the base, a portion of the floor larger than the maximum area of the base must be lifted from
the floor, so that the hole depth dimensions are greater than those of the surface. Then, the anchor support
must be placed inside the hole with studs upwards, and the hole must be filled with concrete until the thread of
the studs protrudes over the concrete surface (figure 3), which must be smooth and flat. It is advisable to cover
the threads with adhesive tape so as to prevent the concrete from adhering to the surface.
It is extremely important to secure the anchor supports firmly by making sure the front part of these supports
matches up with the front part of the washing machine, and maintaining the minimum distance between the
supports and the wall or other appliances so as to facilitate maintenance.
Once the concrete has set properly, the washing machine can be placed in its final position by tightening the
nuts and the associated spacers in the bolts and making sure the machine is suitably levelled.
For the measurements of each appliance, please refer to the "Rigid washing machines" table.
