Installation Site; Removing The Shipping Struts - Miele PW 6080 Vario Operating And Installation Instructions

Installation

Installation site

,
Do not install the machine
directly next to or over an open floor
drain or drain channel. Moisture can
penetrate the machine and damage
electrical parts.
,
Ensure that the machine's feet
and the floor are dry to prevent
slippage during the spin cycle.
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 machine must be leveled and
securely positioned.
^ To avoid vibration while spinning, the
machine should not be installed on
soft floor coverings.
In case the installation must be on a
wooden floor:
^ Install the unit on a 27

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.
