Installation Site - Miele PW 6080 Vario Operating And Installation Instructions

Installation site

The washer cannot be built-in.
,
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.
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 joist floor:
^ Install the unit on a 27

1 / " (70 x 60 x 3 cm) 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.

Installation on a base
The machine can be installed on an
open or closed steel base, or on a
concrete base. Concrete is
recommended.
,
If the machine is installed on a
concrete base, it must be secured
using the clamps supplied with the
machine. Otherwise there is a
danger of the machine moving and
falling off the base during spinning.
^ Secure the two front feet of the
washer with the supplied retaining
clips when installing on a concrete
base.
^ Read the supplied Installation
manual.
