INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Installation
Installation surface
Experience has shown that a concrete
floor is the most suitable surface for a
washing machine. Concrete floors are
far less prone to vibration during the
spin cycle than wooden floors.
Please note the following points:
The machine must be level and se-
curely positioned.
To avoid vibration during spinning,
the machine should not be installed
on soft floor coverings.
If installation will be on a wooden
joist floor: we recommend the use of
a plywood base at least 3cm thick
and 59 x 52 cm wide . Ideally the
base should be large enough to
span several joists and should be an-
chored to the joists and not just the
floorboards.
As a general rule, we recommend
the installation of the machine (or
washer/dryer stack) in the corner of
a room where the stablity of the floor
is at its greatest.
If the machine is installed on a
raised platform, it should be secured
using retaining clips (available from
the Miele Parts Dept.). If installed on
a masonry or concrete base, the
base should be provided with a rim
1 to 2 cm high.
Installation
Lift the machine from its shipping pallet
and move it to the installation site.
Please note:
Do not lift the machine by the drum
door.
Ensure that the machine feet and the
floor are dry to prevent slippage dur-
ing the spin cycle.
Removing the transport struts
Using adjustable pliers, pull out the
retaining clips on the right and left of
the support plate.
Turn the left-hand transport strut 90°
counterclockwise.
