Preventing material damage en

2 Preventing material

damage

ATTENTION!

The high weight of the appliance or,

if not rolling freely, the appliance's

castors may damage the floor when

the appliance is moved.

▶Transport the appliance using a

sack truck.

▶Use floor protection when moving

the appliance, and do not move it

in a zigzag fashion.

When the appliance door is closed,

an open door pillar may damage the
