Installation surface
A concrete floor is the most suitable
installation surface for a washing
machine, 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
securely 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 the use of a plywood
base (at least 59x52x3cm). 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.
^ If possible, install the machine in a
corner 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). Otherwise there is a
danger of the machine moving and
falling off the plinth.
Installation and connection
Installing the washing machine
To manoeuvre the machine out of its
packing case to its installation site, hold
it by the rear feet and by the handle
recesses at the front.
,
Ensure that the machine feet and
the floor are dry to prevent the
machine 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
cover as illustrated.
2. Pull the cover forwards to remove.
