Installation surface
A concrete floor is the most suitable
installation surface for a washing
machine, being far less prone to
vibration during the spin cycle than
wooden floorboards or a carpeted
surface.
Please note the following
^
The machine must be level and
securely positioned.
^
To avoid vibrations during spinning,
the machine should not be installed
on soft floor coverings.
If installing on a wooden joist floor:
^ we recommend the use of a plywood
base (at least 59x52x3cm). The base
should span several joists and be
bolted to the joists and not only to the
floorboards. Check for cables and
pipes beforehand!
If possible, install the machine in a
corner, as this is usually the most
stable part of the floor.
,
If the machine is installed on a
raised plinth, it has to be secured
against slippage during spin using
retaining clips (available from the
Miele Spare Parts Dept).
Installing the washing machine
–
Lift the machine from its packaging
base and manoeuvre it into position.
Do not lift the machine by the drum
door.
,
Ensure that the machine feet and
the floor area are dry to prevent the
machine from slipping during the
spin cycle.
Removing the transit fittings
ATurn the left hand transit bar 90°C.
