Installation and connection
Installation surface
A concrete floor is the most suitable installation surface, being far less prone to vibration during the spin cycle than wooden floorboards or a carpeted surface.
Please note the following points:
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 a plywood base (at least 59x52x3 cm). The base should span several joists and be bolted to the joists and not only to the floorboards. Check for the presence of pipes and cables first.
If the machine is installed on a raised plinth, it has to be secured against slippage during spinning using retaining clips (available from the Miele Spare Parts Dept). Otherwise there is the danger of the machine moving about.
Installing the washer-dryer
Please note:
Do not lift the machine by the door.
Ensure that the machine feet and the floor are dry to prevent the machine from slipping during the spin cycle.
Removing the transit fittings

1. Use a screwdriver to prise out the cover as illustrated.
