INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Installation surface
A concrete floor is the most suitable
surface for a washing machine. Con
-
crete floors are 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 must be on a wooden
joist floor, we recommend the use of
a plywood base at least 1

" thick by

/

" wide (30mm X
600mm X 600mm). Ideally the base
should be large enough to span sev-
eral joists and should be anchored 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 stability of the floor is
greatest.
^
If the machine is installed on a raised
platform, it should be secured using
retaining clips (available from the
Miele Technical Service Dept.). If in
-
stalled on a masonary or concrete
base, the base should be provided
with a rim

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 shipping struts
^
Turn the left shipping strut 90° coun
-
terclockwise.
