Installation

Installation beneath a counter

Washer/ Dryer Stack

If a countertop is placed over the washer, at least a 1/4" gap must be left between the top of the machine and bottom of the countertop; nothing should be within 1/2" of any other side of the washing machine.

When the machine lid needs to be removed to reduce the height of the machine, a countertop kit* is necessary. The cover plate in the countertop kit replaces the machine lid and ensures electrical safety.

A filler frame* is recommenced at a

countertop height of 35 7/16" to 35 13/16" (90-91 cm)

Water intake, drain and electrical connections should be installed near the machine and be easily accessible.

An installation manual is supplied with the countertop kit.

(* available from your Miele dealer or Miele’s Technical Service Department).

Washer stand with drawer

A washer stand is available to raise the machine for convenience. It has a drawer to store cleaning essentials.

The stand can be purchased as an optional accessory.

The Miele washing machine can be installed as part of a washer-dryer stack in combination with a Miele tumble dryer. An appropriate "stacking kit" is required (part # 12 996 026).
