v. Fitting the Door Panel... The packaging is designed to make it possible to mount the wooden panel onto the appliance without removing it completely. ● The wooden panel that covers the face of the machine must not be less than 18mm in thickness and can be hinged on either side. For practical reasons, it is advisable to maintain the same opening direction as the appliance door itself (hinges applied to the left hand side).
Fitting the Door Panel and Plinth... Mounting parts onto the face of the appliance: - Mount the hinge supports onto the face of the machine, positioning the hole indicated by the arrow, in Fig.1, towards the inside of the face and using the type C screws. - Mount the magnetic plate on the opposite side, at the top, using the two type B screws. - Place the spacer illustrated in Fig 4/B between the machine front and the magnet receiver.

Inserting the machine into the cabinet:- Push the machine into the opening, aligning it with the cabinets (Fig.8). - Regulate the adjustable feet to raise the machine to the appropriate height. - To adjust the position of the wooden panel in both the vertical and horizontal directions, use the C and D screws, as shown in Fig.9. Important: Close the lower part of the appliance front by ensuring that the plinth rests against the floor. Fig. 8 Fig.
vii. Levelling... Adjust the feet until all four feet are in firm contact with the floor ensuring the appliance stands level in every direction. You can check this using a spirit level. We recommend you level the appliance to prevent vibration being transmitted to the surrounding furniture, check that the sides and the top of the appliance are unable to touch the furniture.
