Installation Surface; Installing The Washer-Extractor; Removing The Transit Struts - Miele PW 5064 Operating And Installation Instructions

Installation surface

,
Do not install the machine near
or directly above an open gully or
floor drain. Moisture from these can
penetrate the machine and damage
the electric components.
A concrete floor is the most suitable
installation surface, being far less prone
to vibration during the spin cycle than
wooden floorboards or a carpeted
surface.
,
If the machine is installed on an
on-site concrete or brick plinth, it
must be secured using the clamps
supplied with the machine.
Otherwise there is the danger of the
machine moving about.
^ 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 a plywood base (at
least 70 x 60 x 3 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 first.
If possible, install the machine in a
corner, as this is usually the most stable
part of the floor.
Installation and connection

Installing the washer-extractor

To manoeuvre the machine out of its
packing case to its installation site, hold
it by the edge of the lid where it
protrudes to the rear of the machine as
well as 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.
