							Installation surface
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.
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 a plywood base (at
least 59x52x3 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.
,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 washer-dryer
To manoeuvre the machine out of its
packing case to its installlation 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.
Please note:
^Do not lift the machine by the drum
door.
,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.

							^Using the spanner supplied turn the
left-hand transit bar 90°, then
^
withdraw the transit bar.^Turn the right-hand transit bar 90°,
then
^
withdraw the transit bar.

							,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 on to the two holes.
Then plug the holes as shown with
the caps.
,The machine must not be moved
without the transit fittings 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 byreversing the
procedure.

							Levelling the machine
The machine must stand perfectly level
on all four feet to ensure safe and
proper operation.
Incorrect installation may increase
electricity and water consumption and
may cause the machine to move about.
False values may also show in the Load
and Detergent display.
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 nut2together 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.

							Building under a continous worktop /
in a kitchen run
,Abuilding-under kit(available
to order) with a cover plate to
replace the machine lid is required.
It must be fitted by suitably qualified
person to ensure electrical safety.
N.B. If you wish to push your machine
under a worktop and there is space to
do thiswithout removing the lidthe
building under kit is not necessary.
Otherwise the building under kit is
essential.
The building-under kit is supplied with
its own installation instructions.
–
Slides are also available to order for
fitting underneath the machine feet 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.
N= Niche height (820-930 mm)
(illustration shows machine with lid removed)

* accessory available to order
If the kitchen run has a continuous
furniture plinth in place, a gap must
be made for the washing machine.
Replacing the lid
If the lid has been removed in order to
fit a coverplate, ensure that, if the lid is
ever replaced, it fits securely into the
rear holders. Otherwise, it is not
properly secure for transport.

							Fitting a decor panel
The door has a decor frame for fitting a
decor panel (available as an optional
accessory).
Decor panel dimensions
Width..............590mm(-1mm)
Height.............590mm(-1mm)
Thickness...............0.6-4mm
^Open the door.
^Unscrew the 4 screws on the upper
decor strip (see illustration).
^
Then take the upper decor strip off by
pulling itforwards.

							Shortening the door panel
You can shorten the door panel to
match the height of adjacent kitchen
unit door fronts.
First of all you need to calculate
measurementX. This is the distance
from the lower edge of the machine
door to the lower edge of an adjacent
kitchen unit door front.Procedure
^Open the door.
^First remove the door panel:
– to do this unscrew the 10 screws
(see arrows) from the inside machine
door.
^Then remove the three decor strips
from the door panel:
– to do this unscrew the screws.
^Shorten the door panel
and the two
side decor strips
at the bottom by
measurementXusing a suitable saw.
^
Drill four holes for securing the lower
decor strip into the door panel.
^
Fit the decor strips and the door
panel.
If you are intending to fit a decor
panel, check whether this will also
need to be shortened

							Fitting a plinth facing
The gap between the lower edge of the
machine plinth and the floor can be
closed up using a suitable kitchen
furniture plinth facing.
The washing machine plinth has a
special groove in which a plinth facing
can be fitted.
Plinth facing dimensions
Length
: 592 - 596 mm
Thickness
:8mm
Height (
H): The plinth facing height
must be calculated after aligning the
height of the machine with the screw
feet or after fitting the height-adjustment
frame(s).Installation
^Calculate height (H) from the floor up
into the groove (on the underside of
the washing machine).
^Cut the plinth facing to size.
^Slide it into the groove.
Useful tip:
If the machine is fitted on a
height-adjustment frame, you can use
double-sided adhesive tape on the
back of the plinth facing to secure it to
the height-adjustment frame too.
