Installation surface
A concrete floor is the most suitable
installation surface. It is far less prone
to vibration during the spin cycle than
wooden floorboards or a carpeted
surface.
Please note:
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:
Install the machine on a plywood
base (at least 59 x 52 x 3 cm). The
base should span several joists and
be bolted to the joists, not just the
floorboards.
Useful tip:
If possible, install the
machine in a corner. This is usually the
most stable part of the floor.
Injury can occur if the washing
machine has not been adequately
secured.
During installation, the washing
machine must be secured on a plinth
to be made available on site
(concrete or brick), in order to ensure
it cannot fall or slip.
Secure the washing machine using a
clamp/fastening bracket (MTS floor
mounting kit – available from your
Miele dealer or Miele Service
department).
Transporting the washing
machine to its installation site
Danger of injury due to unsecure
lid.
The fixings at the back of the lid may
become brittle due to external
circumstances. There is a danger of
the lid being pulled off when carrying
the appliance.
Before carrying the appliance, check
that the lid is secure where it
protrudes at the back of the
appliance.
Carry the washing machine by the
front feet and by the lid where it
protrudes at the back of the
appliance.
