Miele Novotronic W 1986 Operating Instructions Manual page 40

Horizontal access washers should be
installed on the ground floor or
basement level of a construction for
best performance.
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.
If the installation must be performed on
a wooden floor:
– Install the washer in the corner of a
room, where the stability of the floor
is greatest.
– The machine must be levelled and
securely positioned.
To avoid vibration while spinning, the
machine should not be installed on soft
floor coverings.
^ Install the unit on a 1

Ideally, the base should be large
enough to span several joists, and
should be anchored to the joists, not
just to the floor boards.

If the machine is installed on a

with retaining clips available from
your dealer or the Miele Technical
Service Department.
If installed on a masonary or
concrete base, the base should

the stand during the spin cycle.
