Installation surface
Experience has shown that a concrete
floor is the most suitable for a washing
machine. Concrete floors are far less
prone to vibration during the spin cycle
than wooden floorboards.
Please note the following points:
The machine must be level and se-
curely positioned.
To avoid vibrations 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
59x52x3 cm). Ideally the base
should be large enough to span sev-
eral joists and should be bolted to
the joists and not just the floor-
boards. Check for presence of pipes
and cables first.
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
plinth, it must be secured against slip-
page during spin using retaining clips
(available from the Miele Spare Parts
Dept).
Installation
Lift the machine from its packaging
base and move it to its site. Please
note:
Do not lift the machine by the drum
door.
Ensure that the machine feet and the
floor are dry to prevent the machine
from slipping during the spin cycle.
Removing the transit fitting.
Using combination pliers, pull out
the retaining clips on the right and
left of the support plate.
Using a pipe wrench turn the left-
hand transit bar 90° anti-clockwise
and the right-hand transit bar clock-
wise.
