Installation Surface; Removing The Transit Bars - Miele PW 6080 Vario Operating And Installation Instructions

Installation surface

,
Do not install the machine near
or directly above an open gully or
floor drain. Moisture from these can
penetrate the machine and damage
the electric components.
,
Ensure that the machine feet and
the floor are dry to prevent the
machine from slipping during the
spin cycle.
A concrete floor is the most suitable
installation surface for a washing
machine, being far less prone to
vibration during the spin cycle than
wooden floorboards or a carpeted
surface.
^ The machine must be level and
securely positioned.
^ To avoid vibrations during spinning,
the machine should not be installed
on soft floor coverings.
If installing on a wooden joist floor:
^ We recommend a plywood base (at
least 69 x 77 x 3 cm). The base
should span several joists and be
bolted to the joists and not only to the
floorboards. Check for the presence
of pipes and cables first.
If possible, install the machine in a
corner, as this is usually the most stable
part of the floor.

Removing the transit bars

^ Release the catch and turn the left
hand transit bar clockwise by 90°.
^ Then withdraw the transit bar.
