Installation surface
A concrete floor is the most suitable
installation surface. It is 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:
Install the machine on a plywood
base (at least 59 x 52 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.
Useful tip: If possible, install the
machine in a corner. 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).
Installation and connection
Transporting the washing
machine to its installation site
The fixings at the back of the lid
may become brittle due to external
circumstances.
There is a danger of the lid being
pulled off when carrying the
appliance.
Before carrying the appliance, check
that the lid is secure where it
protrudes at the back of the
appliance.
Carry the washing machine by the
front feet and by the lid where it
protrudes at the back of the
appliance.
Removing the shipping struts
Remove the left and right covers.
1. Pull off the transit bar covers and
2. then use a screwdriver to release the
catches at the top and bottom.
