Installation and connection
77
Installation surface
A concrete floor is the most suitable in-
stallation surface for a washing ma-
chine, being far less prone to vibration
during the spin cycle than wooden
floorboards or a carpeted surface.
Please note:

The machine must be level and se-
curely positioned.

To avoid vibrations during spinning,
the machine should not be installed
on soft floor coverings.
If installing on a wooden joist floor:

We recommend a plywood base at
least 59 x 52 x 3 cm). The base
should span several joists and be
bolted to the joist and not only the
floorboards. Check for the presence
of pipes and cables first.
Tip: If possible, install the machine in a
corner, as this is usually the most stable
part of the floor.

There is the danger of the wash-
ing machine moving about during
spinning and falling off a plinth.
For this reason, if the machine is in-
stalled on a raised plinth (concrete or
brick), it has to be secured against
slippage using an MTS floor/plinth
mounting kit (available from Miele).
Transporting the washing ma-
chine to its installation site

Make sure the fixings at the back
of the lid are secure.
Otherwise there is a danger of the lid
being pulled off when carrying the
machine.
Before carrying the machine check
that the lid is secure where it pro-
trudes at the back of the machine.

Carry the washing machine by the
front feet and the protruding lid at the
back.
Removing the transit bars

To remove the left and right covers
1. Pull on the attached stopper,
2. then use a screwdriver to release the
catches at the top and bottom.
