Installation Site - Miele NOVOTRONIC W 1986 Operating Instructions Manual

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
5 5
23 / " x 23 / " 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 3
/ " to / " high rim. This must be

done to prevent the washer from vi-
brating off the stand during the spin
cycle.
