floorboards or a carpeted surface.
Please note the following points:
^ The machine must be level and se-

^ 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 59x52x3 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.
If possible, install the machine in a cor-
ner, as this is usually the most stable
part of the floor.

raised plinth, it

retaining clips (available from the
Miele Spare Parts Dept).
To manoeuvre the machine out of its
packing case to its installation site hold
it by the edge of the lid where it pro-
trudes to the rear of the washing ma-
chine as well as by the handle recesses
at the front.
