Miele NOVOTRONIC W 1986 - Manual (Page 41)

Installation site
Horizontal access washers should be
installed on the ground floor or base-
ment of the construction for best re-
sults.
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.
The corner of a room where the stability
of the floor is at its greatest is the best
place to install the washer.
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 1 1
/
4
" thick,
23 5 /
8
" x 23 5 /
8
" wide 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.
,
If the machine is installed on a
raised platform it must be secured
with retaining clips available from
your dealer or the Miele Technical
Service Department.
If installed on a masonary or con-
crete base, the base should have a
1 /
2
" to 3 /
4
" high rim. This must be
done to prevent the washer from vi-
brating off the stand during the spin
cycle.
