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. 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.

Installation and connection

							To avoid the risk of injury the
holes for the transit bars must be
covered after the transit bars have
been removed.
Fit the covers onto the two holes.
Then plug the holes as shown with
the caps.The washing machine must not
be moved without the transit bars in
place.
Store them in a safe place for future
use. They must be re-fitted if the
machine is to be moved again (e.g.
when moving house).
Re-fitting the transit bars
Re-fitting is carried out by reversing the
procedure.
Installation and connection

							Levelling the machine
The machine must stand perfectly level
on all four feet to ensure safe and
proper operation.
Screwing out and adjusting the feet
The four adjustable screw feet are used
to level the machine. All four feet are
screwed in when the machine is
delivered.
Using the spanner supplied turn
counter nut2in a clockwise
direction. Then turn counter nut2
together with foot1to unscrew.Use a spirit level to check the
machine is standing level.
Hold foot1securely with a pipe
wrench. Turn counter nut2again
using the spanner supplied until it
sits firmly up against the housing.
All four counternuts must sit
firmly up against the housing. Please
also check this for the feet which did
not need adjustment. Otherwise
there is the danger of the machine
moving about.
Washer-dryer stack
A Miele tumble dryer can be stacked
on top of this washing machine. To do
this the appropriate "WTV" stacking kit
(available to order) to match your
washing machine is required.
The stacking kit must be fitted by
suitably qualified fitter.

							Building under a continous
worktop / in a kitchen run
N= Niche height (820 - 930 mm)
This machine is specially designed for
installation under a continuous worktop
run in a fitted kitchen.
It is supplied with a cover plate,
instead of a lid, which is necessary
to ensure electrical safety and must
not be removed.
The washing machine must not be
used without the front panel in
place.–The slides* can be used to protect
the floor from damage when the
machine is pushed into position or
taken out for servicing.
– Connections for electricity, water and
drainage should be installed in such
a way that they remain accessible
when the machine is in place.
With niche heights of:

(Set to approx.
40 mm)
from 870 -885 Use one raising kit*
from 915 -930 Use two raising kits*

							Matching the fascia panel to
the height of adjacent drawer
fronts
Spacer bars
The fascia panel can be aligned with
the drawer fronts by adjusting the
spacer bars.
Using a socket spanner, turn
clockwise or anti-clockwise until the
required height is reached.
If necessary individual bars can be
removed or more added.

To do this, use the socket spanner to
loosen the nuts.
An adapter kit with spacer bars and
longer screws can be ordered as an
optional accessory. This can be used to
add spacer bars from below up to a
maximum of 25 mm.
After fitting the bars, cut or pinch off
any excess length from the screws.Removing the spacer bars
All the spacer bars can be removed if
the upper edge of the front panel needs
to be flush with the upper edge of the
machine front directly underneath the
fascia panel. See "Fitting a front panel
made by another manufacturer".
Open the door.
Unscrew and remove the 3 screws
(see arrows).
Remove all the spacer bars.
The 3 holes which are now free should
be used to screw the front panel to the
machine front later on.
Installation and connection

							Fitting the front panel
The machine front can be fitted with a
door panel to match other kitchen units.
If fitted in a Miele kitchen, the door
panel can be ordered pre-drilled with
the necessary fixing holes as an
optional accessory.
If fitted in a non-Miele kitchen, a
suitable panel will have to be drilled
to suit by a qualified kitchen fitter.
See "Fitting a door front panel made
by another manufacturer" for details
on preparing and drilling the fixing
holes.
