Installation site
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.
Note:
The machine must be leveled and
securely positioned.
To avoid vibration while spinning, the
machine should not be installed on
soft floor coverings.
If the installation must be performed on
a wooden floor:
Install the unit on a 2 ft. x 2 ft. x 1
3
/
16
" (61 x 61 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.
Tip:
It is best to install the washer in the
corner of a room, where the stability of
the floor is at its greatest.
There is a risk of the washing
machine falling off a raised platform.
If the machine is installed on a raised
platform (concrete or masonry), it
must be secured in place using the
MTS floor mounting kit (available
from Miele).

Use the front washer feet and the rear
excess end to transport the washer
