Installation

Installation beneath a counter Washer stand with drawer

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 ½" of any 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 recommended 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.)

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.
