Installation surface
A concrete floor is the most suitable in- stallation surface for a washing ma- chine, being far less prone to vibration during the spin cycle than wooden floorboards or a surface with "soft" properties.
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 installing on a wooden joist floor, we recommend a plywood base at least 30 mm thick, 590 x 520 mm wide. The base should span several joists and be bolted to the joists, not only to the floorboards. Check for the pres- ence of pipes and cables first.
The most stable part of the floor is usually in the corner.
,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).
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.
