Installation site
A concrete or reinforced floor is the
most suitable surface for the washer.
These types of floors are less prone to
vibration during the spin cycle.
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

(59 x 52 x 3 cm) plywood base.
Ideally, the base should be large
enough to span several joists, and
should be anchored to the joists, 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 must be secured
with retaining clips. These clips are
available from your dealer or the
Miele Technical Service Department.
If installed on a masonary or
concrete base, the base should
have a
1 /

" (12-20 mm) high
rim. This is required to prevent the
washer from vibrating off the stand
during the spin cycle.
