Installation site
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.
Note:
– The machine must be leveled and
securely positioned.
– To avoid vibration while spinning, the
machine should not be installed on
soft floor coverings.
If the installation must be performed on
a wooden floor:
^
Install the unit on a
2 ft. x 2 ft. x 1
3
/
16
"
(61 x 61 x 3 cm) 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.
It is best to install the washer in the
corner of a room, where the stability of
the floor is at its greatest.
,
If the machine is installed on a
raised platform, it should be secured
with retaining clips. These clips are
available from your dealer or Miele.
If installed on a masonry or concrete
base, the base should have a
½
" to
3
/
4
" (12-20 mm) high rim. This is
required to prevent the washer from
vibrating off the stand during the
spin cycle.
Installation
Use the front washer feet and the rear
excess end to transport the washer
from its shipping pallet to the
installation site.
Do not lift the washer by the drum
door!
,
Ensure that the machine’s feet
and the floor are dry to prevent
slippage during the spin cycle.
