Installation
Installation site
A concrete or reinforced floor is the most suitable surface for the washer. These types of floors are less prone to vibration during the spin cycle.
Note:
–The machine must be leveled and securely positioned.
–To avoid vibration while spinning, the machine should not be installed on soft floor coverings.
If the installation must be performed on a wooden floor:
^Install the unit on a 2 ft. x 2 ft. x 1 3/16"
(61 x 61 x 3 cm) plywood base. Ideally, the base should be large enough to span several joists, and should be anchored to the joists, not just the floor boards.
It is best to install the washer in the corner of a room, where the stability of the floor is at its greatest.
,If the machine is installed on a raised platform, it must be secured with retaining clips. These clips are available from your dealer or Miele.
If installed on a masonry or concrete base, the base should have a 1/2" to 3/4" (12 - 20 mm) high rim. This is required to prevent the washer from vibrating off the stand during the spin cycle.
