Installation and connection

Installation surface

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.
Please note:
 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 59 x 52 x 3 cm). The base
should span several joists and be
bolted to the joist and not only the
floorboards. Check for the presence
of pipes and cables first.
Tip: If possible, install the machine in a
corner, as this is usually the most stable
part of the floor.

There is the danger of the
washing machine moving about
during spinning and falling off a
plinth.
For this reason, if the machine is
installed on a raised plinth (concrete
or brick), it has to be secured against
slippage using an MTS floor/plinth
mounting kit (available from Miele
dealer).

Transporting the washing
machine to its installation site
To manoeuvre the washing machine out
of its packing case to its installation
site, hold it by the front feet as well as
by the edge of the lid where it protrudes
to the rear of the machine.

Ensure that the machine feet and
the floor are dry to prevent the
machine from slipping during the
spin cycle.
