Installation Surface; Transporting The Washing Machine To Its Installation Site - Miele WXD 160 Operating Instructions Manual

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, not just the
floorboards.
Useful tip: If possible, install the
machine in a corner. This is usually the
most stable part of the floor.

Injury can occur if the washing
machine has not been adequately
secured.
During installation, the washing
machine must be secured on a plinth
to be made available on site
(concrete or brick), in order to ensure
it cannot fall or slip.
Secure the washing machine using a
clamp/fastening bracket (MTS floor
mounting kit – available from your
Miele dealer or Miele Service
department).
Transporting the washing
machine to its installation site

Danger of injury due to unsecure
lid.
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.
