Installation surface
A concrete floor is the most suitable in-
stallation surface for a washing ma-
chine, being far less prone to vibration
during the spin cycle than wooden
floorboards or a carpeted surface.
Please note the following points:
The machine must be level and se-
curely 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 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.
If the machine is installed on a
raised plinth, it has to be secured
against slippage during spin using
retaining clips (available from the
Miele Spare Parts Dept).
Installation and connection
Installing the washing machine
To manoeuvre the machine out of its
packing case to its installlation 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 re-
cesses at the front.
Please note:
Do not lift the machine by the drum
door.
Ensure that the machine feet and
the floor are dry to prevent the ma-
chine from slipping during the spin
cycle.
Removing the transit fittings
To remove the left and right covers
1. Use a screwdriver to prise out the
