9. 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.
