    							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 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).Transporting the machine to its
    installation site
    To manoeuvre the machine out of its
    packing case to its installation site, hold
    it by the front feet as well as by the
    edge of the lid where it protrudes to the
    rear of the washing machine.
    ,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.
    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.^Secure the transit bars to the back of
    the washing machine. Make sure that
    holesbare fitted over retainersa.
    ,The machine must not be moved
    without the transit bars in place.
    Store them as shown or keep 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.

    							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.
    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 be
    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 worktop
    ,The machine lid must not be
    removed.
    This washing machine can be pushed
    under a worktop with its lid in place,
    providing the worktop is high enough.Washer-dryer stack
    A Miele tumble dryer can be stacked
    with the washing machine. A WTV
    stacking kit is necessary which can be
    purchased from your Dealer or the
    Miele Spare Parts Department.
    Please note:
    aSafety distance to wall:
    at least 2 cm
    bHeight:
    Stacking kit with pull-out shelf:
    approx. 172 cm
    Stacking kit without pull-out shelf:
    approx. 170 cm
    cDepth of the washer-dryer stack:
    approx. 65 cm

    							The Miele water protection
    system
    The Miele water protection system
    protects the washing machine from
    water damage.
    The system consists of three main
    components:
    1) the inlet hose
    2) the electronic unit and the washing
    machine housing
    3) the drain hose
    1) Inlet hose
    The inlet hose can withstand
    pressure of more than 7,000 kPa.
    2) Electronic unit and washing
    machine housing
    – Sump
    Any leaking water is collected in a
    sump in the base of the machine. A
    float switches off the safety valves,
    preventing any more water flowing
    into the machine and water in the
    suds container is pumped away.–Overflow protection
    This prevents the washing machine
    taking in too much water. If the water
    level exceeds a certain level, the
    drain pump switches in and pumps
    the excess water away.
    3) Drain hose
    The drain hose is protected by a
    ventilation system which prevents the
    washing machine from being
    emptied completely.
    Installation and connection
    49
     
    						
    							Connection to the water
    supply
    The machine should be connected to a
    mains water supply in accordance with
    local and national safety regulations.
    The German authorities do not require it
    to have a non-return valve as the
    washing machine has been designed
    to comply with DIN regulations.
    The machine is designed to operate
    with a flow pressure of between
    100 kPa and 1,000 kPa. If it is higher
    than 1,000 kPa it is essential to fit a
    pressure reducing valve.
    Connection to the mains water supply
    should incorporate a mains stopcock
    with
    3/4 thread. The stopcock should
    be fitted by a qualified plumber.
    ,The connection point is subject
    to mains water pressure. Turn on the
    stopcock slowly and check for leaks.
    Correct the position of the washer
    and union if appropriate.
    The washing machine isnotsuitable
    for connection to a hot water supply
    and connection to a household
    water softener is not recommended.
    Maintenance and care
    Only use a genuine Miele hose should
    you ever need a replacement or
    extension. These are tested to
    withstand pressure of at least
    7,000 kPa.
    In order to protect the water inlet
    valve, the two dirt filters - one in the
    open end of the inlet hose, one at
    the inlet point in the machine must
    not be removed.
    Extension hose
    –Longer hoses 2.5 or 4.0 m in length
    are available from your Miele dealer
    or the Miele Spare Parts Department
    as optional extras.
