Installation surface
A concrete floor is the most suitable
installation surface, being far less prone
to vibration during the spin cycle than
wooden floorboards or a carpeted
surface.
Please note the following points:
^
The machine must be level and
securely 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 59x52x3 cm) The base should
span several joists and be bolted to
the joists and not only to the
floorboards. Check for the presence
of pipes and cables first.
If possible, install the machine in a
corner, as this is usually the most stable
part of the floor.
,
If the machine is installed on a
raised plinth, it
has to be secured
against slippage during spinning
using retaining clips (available from
the Miele Spare Parts Dept).
Installing the washer-dryer
To manoeuvre the machine out of its
packing case to its installlation site,
hold it by the edge of the lid where it
protrudes to the rear of the machine as
well as by the handle recesses at the
front.
Please note:
^
Do not lift the machine by the drum
door.
,
Ensure that the machine feet and
the floor are dry to prevent the
machine from slipping during the
spin cycle.
