Installation site
Horizontal access washers should be
installed on the ground floor or base-
ment of the construction for best re-
sults.
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.
The corner of a room where the stability
of the floor is at its greatest is the best
place to install the washer.
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 1 1/4" thick,
23 5/8" x 23 5/8" wide 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.
,If the machine is installed on a
raised platform it must be secured
with retaining clips available from
your dealer or the Miele Technical
Service Department.
If installed on a masonary or con-
crete base, the base should have a
1/2" to 3/4" high rim. This must be
done to prevent the washer from vi-
brating off the stand during the spin
cycle.
