Installation
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.
