							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, ithas to be secured
against slippage during spinning
using retaining clips (available from
the Miele Spare Parts Dept).Installing the washing machine
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 washing
machine as well as by the handle
recesses at the front.
,Ensure that the machine feet and
the floor area are dry to prevent the
machine from slipping during the
spin cycle.

							Levelling the machine
