Installation Instructions; Removing The Shipping Struts - Miele W 1930 WASHING MACHINE Operating Instructions Manual

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Installation surface
A concrete floor is the most suitable
surface for a washing machine. Con-
crete floors are less prone to vibration
during the spin cycle than wooden
floors.
Please note the following points:
^ The machine must be level and se-
curely positioned.
^ To avoid vibration during spinning,
the machine should not be installed
on soft floor coverings.
^ If installation must be on a wooden
joist floor, we recommend the use of
a plywood base at least 1
5 5
23 / " X 23 / " wide (30mm X
8 8
600mm X 600mm). Ideally the base
should be large enough to span sev-
eral joists and should be anchored to
the joists and not just the floorboards.
^ As a general rule, we recommend the
installation of the machine (or
washer/dryer stack) in the corner of a
room where the stability of the floor is
greatest.
^ If the machine is installed on a raised
platform, it should be secured using
retaining clips (available from the
Miele Technical Service Dept.). If in-
stalled on a masonary or concrete
base, the base should be provided
1
with a rim / " to

Installation
Lift the machine from its shipping pallet
and move it to the installation site.
Please note:
^ Do not lift the machine by the drum
door.
^ Ensure that the machine feet and the
floor are dry to prevent slippage dur-
ing the spin cycle.
