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 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

" (59x52x3cm)
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 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

" (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.
Remove the shipping struts
