							Installation site
The washer cannot be built-in.
,Do not install the machine
directly next to or over an open floor
drain or drain channel. Moisture can
penetrate the machine and damage
electrical parts.
A concrete floor is the most suitable
surface for the washer. Concrete floors
are less prone to vibration during the
spin cycle than wooden floors.
,If the machine is installed on a
masonry or concrete base itmust
be secured with retaining clips to
prevent the washer from vibrating off
the stand during the spin cycle.
^The machine must be leveled and
securely positioned.
^To avoid vibration while spinning, the
machine shouldnot be installedon
soft floor coverings.
In case the installation must be on a
wooden joist floor:
^
Install the unit on a 27
9/16 x 235/8 x
13/16 (70 x 60 x 3 cm) plywood
base. Ideally the base should be
large enough to span several joists
and should be anchored to the joists
and not just the floor boards.
It is best to install the washer in the
corner of a room, where the stability of
the floor is at its greatest.
Installation
^Use the front washer feet and the rear
excess end to transport the washer
from its shipping pallet to the
installation site.
Do not lift the washer by the drum
door.
,Ensure that the machine’s feet
and the floor are dry to prevent
slippage during the spin cycle.
Removing the shipping struts
^Remove the left and right rotary
protectors.
1. Unhook the rotary protector with a
screw driver.
2. Remove the rotary protectors.
Installation

							^Turn the left shipping strut
counterclockwise 90° with the
enclosed combination wrench.
^
Pull the shipping strut out.^Turn the right shipping strut
counterclockwise 90° with the
enclosed combination wrench.
^
Pull out the shipping strut out.
Installation
45
 
						

							^Close the holes with the rotary
protectors and their caps.
^
Fasten the shipping struts at the rear
side of the washer. Take care to insert
the drill holes,b, into the clamps,a.
,Movement of the washer without
the shipping struts in place should
be kept to a minimum. The shipping
struts should be stored on the back
of the washer for future use. They
must be reinstalled before moving
the machine.
Installing the shipping struts
^Reinstall the struts by reversing the
installation procedure.

							Leveling the washer
To ensure smooth operation the washer
must be level.
Failure to level the machine can result
in increased water and energy
consumption as well as the washer
banging during the spin cycle or
walking across the floor during use.Adjust the four leveling feet
The washer is leveled by adjusting the
four feet. The machine is boxed with the
feet completely screwed in.
^Turn the locking nut,2, counter-
clockwise with the enclosed
combination wrench. Unscrew each
of the four feet as much as necessary
by turning both the foot,1, and the
locking nut,2, to the left.
^
Check that the machine stands level.
^
Once level, hold the foot,1, steady
with a wrench. Turn the locking nut,2,
with the combination wrench towards
the machine.
,All four locking nuts must be
tight against the bottom of the
machine. In addition, check to see
that the feet were not inadvertently
unscrewed while tightening the nuts.
Running a machine that is not level
or whose feet are not tight may
cause damage to both the machine
and its surrounding area.

							Washer/ Dryer Stack
Height:
Stacking kit with pull out shelf
66
15/16 (1700 mm)
The Miele washing machine can be
installed as part of a washer-dryer
stack in combination with a Miele
tumble dryer. An appropriate stacking
kit* is required.
Installation of the stacking kit must be
performed by a Miele Service
Technician.
Reinstallation of the machine lid
When reinstalling the appliance lid,
check the firm fit of the cover at the rear
bracket for a safe transport of the dryer.
Installation on a base
The machine can be installed on an
open or closed steel base, or on a
concrete base. Concrete is
recommended.
^Secure the two front feet of the
washer with the supplied retaining
clips when installing on a concrete
base.
^Read the supplied Installation
manual.
Coin mechanism
The dryer can be equipped with a coin
mechanism*.
The reprogramming necessary for the
coin mechanism must be done by a
Miele Service Technician.
Empty the coin mechanism regularly.
Coins or tokens may get jammed.
Do not install devices to auto-
matically turn the washer off, e.g. a
clock timer.
*   Available from your Miele dealer or
Miele.

							Water connection
Cold water connection
A water faucet with
3/4 threat must be
provided on-site. If none is available the
machine must be connected to a water
line by a qualified plumber.
The water pressure must be between
14.5 -145 psi (1 -10 bar). If the water
pressure is greater than 145 psi
(10 bar), a pressure reducer must be
installed. If the water pressure is below
15 psi (1 bar), there will not be enough
water available for a complete fill.
The cold water hose (blue mark) is
notsuitable for a hot water
connection.
^Connect the cold water intake hose
(blue mark) to the cold water valve.
^Turn on the valve(s) and check for
leaks.
The water intake hoses are
equipped with screen filters. Do not
remove these filters except for
cleaning.Maintenance
Replace the water hoses only with
genuine Miele hoses.
Extension hoses
Extension hoses (8’ 2 or 13’ [2.5 m or
4 m]) may be obtained from Miele.
Installation

							Hot water connection
Connecting the machine to a hot water
supply will lead to low electrical
consumption during hot water
operation. The hot water temperature at
the water faucet must not exceed 158°F
(70°C).
The water in single water lines from the
hot water source cools faster when not
in constant use. To heat the wash water
more electricity must be used. The
same conditions for the hot water as for
the cold water connection will then
apply.
^Connect the hot water intake hose
(red mark) to the water faucet.
The connection of the machine to a
hot water line only, is not possible for
functional reasons.If the washer is not to be installed for
hot water connection, the settings Main
wash, Pre-wash and Rinses must be
adjusted respectively. The hot water
intake hose must be removed.
^Select in Settings - Supervisor level
the respective options cold.
The program times may be
extended.
^Unscrew the hot water intake hose
(red mark).
^Screw on the supplied stopper.
