Installation
Installation site
A concrete floor is the most suitable surface for the washer. Concrete floors are less prone to vibration during the spin cycle than wooden floors.
Note:
–The machine must be levelled and securely positioned.
–To avoid vibration while spinning, the machine should not be installed on soft floor coverings.
If the installation must be on a wooden joist floor:
^Install the unit on a
23 1/4" x 20 1/2" x 1 3/16" (59x52x3cm) plywood base. Ideally the base should be large enough to span several joists and should be anchored to the joists and 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 the Miele Technical Service Department. If installed on a masonary or concrete base, the base should have a 1/2" to 3/4"
Installation
Use the front washer feet and the rear excess end to transport the washer from its shipping pallet to the installation site.
Do not lift the washer by the drum door!
,Ensure that the machine’s feet and the floor are dry to prevent slippage during the spin cycle.
