thereafter a flat panel not shown is screwed to the rear of the body 11 to close it the marginal strips 14 of the side walls 12 are bent inwardly by a further chamfering operation in this manner they form abutments 19 for threadedly connecting two lateral sheet metal fastening panels 20 which in turn are each provided with a telescoping rail 21 the rails 21 serve to receive a drawer 22 shown in fig1 in its inserted state and in fig2 in its withdrawn state the structure of such a drawer 22 is generally known and is not therefore described here in any detail it is to be mentioned however that the front panel 23 of the drawer 22 is dimensioned such that is it completely covers the front side of the pedestal 2 in its front section the telescoping rail 21 is fastened to the chamfer 19 of the pedestal as well ass to the fastening panel 20 to this end both components are provided with consecutively positioned bores of which fig3 only shows bore 24 at the chamfer 19 the added fastening of the telescoping rail 21 at the pedestal 2 provides for a defined alignment of the front panel 23 relative to the edges of the pedestal 2 for erecting the system feet 10 usually screwed into the bottom panel 3 of the washing machine 1 are removed therefrom and threaded into the stamped nuts in the bottom panel 3 1 of the pedestal 2 threaded pins not shown are screwed into the stamped nuts 9 in the bottom panel 3 of the washing machine 1 thereafter the washing machine 1 is aligned relative to the support surface 13 such that the threaded pins protrude into corresponding bores.
