Try tipping the machine up, it might fall out of the bottom because most machines are open at the bottom.  You could unbolt the top to grab it but it may have a seal which would invalidate your guarantee if you break it.  There's a good chance that it's already on the floor underneath the machine.  Obviously you can't leave stray pieces of metal inside it as they could cause a short circuit or get caught in some moving parts.

Answer 2

should be under machine.

Answer 3

it will be resting at the bottom of the machine so don't worry about it 

Answer 4

Yes it happens. No harm will occur. It's only a spacer which will be lying on the base panel. It may even be under the machine.
