Installation and connection

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 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 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 spinning using retaining clips (available from the Miele Spare Parts Dept).

Transporting the machine to its installation site

To manoeuvre the machine out of its packing case to its installation site, hold it by the front feet as well as by the edge of the lid where it protrudes to the rear of the washing machine.

,Ensure that the machine feet and the floor are dry to prevent the machine from slipping during the spin cycle.

Removing the transit fittings

^To remove the left and right covers

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

2. Pull the cover forwards to remove.
