Installation Installation surface Removing the transit fitting 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 surface with "soft" properties. 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. Using combination pliers, pull out the retaining clips.
Installation Turn the right-hand transit bar 90°clockwise. Plug the two holes with the plastic caps supplied. The machine should not be moved without the transit fitting in place. The transit fitting should be stored in a safe place for future use. It must be re-fitted if the machine is to be moved again. Re-fitting is carried out by reversing the procedure. Withdraw the two bars together with the support plate.
Installation Levelling the machine The machine must be perfectly level to ensure safe and proper operation. Tighten the counternut using a pipe wrench. Building under This washing machine is specially designed for installation under a worktop. Incorrect installation may increase water and electricity consumption. The rear machine feet are self-leveling. If necessary adjust the leg levellers on the front feet as follows: This machine is fitted with a protective coverplate which replaces the machine lid.
Installation Please note the following: Adjusting the facia height – The machine should never be operated without the front panel firmly in place. The adapter can be adjusted to match the machine facia to the height of an adjacent drawer by: – The electrical and water connection points should be close to the machine and easily accessible. – altering the position of the nuts – The skids provided with the machine are intended to prevent damage to floor coverings when manoeuvring it into position.
Installation Fitting the front panel The front of this appliance can be fitted with a door panel to match surrounding units. If the unit is fitted in a MIELE KITCHEN, a door panel with the appropriate dimensions and the necessary holes pre-drilled can be provided. If the kitchen is from a manufacturer other than Miele, it is recommended that the panel be cut to size and holes drilled by a specialist, according to Miele specifications. Front panel dimensions: Height: . . . . . . . .
Installation Example 2: Drill the numbered holes and the screw points for the inner door panel to the specified depth. On chipboard fronts: inject silicon sealant (supplied) into the (= Ø 10 mm) free holes. Note that some different holes are required for left or right hand hinging.
Installation Fitting a plinth facia The appliance plinth below the door can be partially concealed using a plinth facia. The height and return of the appliance plinth cannot be altered. A taller plinth facia can only be installed if the overall niche height is higher. Plinth height 100 mm (standard) Niche height: 820 mm Plinth height 150 mm Niche height: 870 mm - a spacer frame is required. Plinth height 200 mm Niche height: 920 mm - two spacer frames are required.
Installation Residual test water Water hardness reminder Flush out any residual test water still in the machine as follows: The amount of detergent will depend on various factors including the water hardness level in your area. Set the water hardness dial located in the detergent dispenser box as a reminder. Do not load the machine. Add a little detergent to compartment j. Switch on the machine. Select the “COTTONS 60°C” programme. Select the "Short” option. This operation will flush out any residues.
Plumbing Connection to water supply Fitting The machine should be connected to a mains water supply in accordance with standard regulations. In Germany the washing machine is not required to have a non-return valve as it has been designed to comply with DVGW regulations. 42 The machine is designed to operate with a minumum water pressure of 1 bar. There is a minimum flow pressure of 1 bar if 5 litres of water flow into a suitable container in 15 seconds. The static water pressure must not exceed 10 bar.
Plumbing The Miele "Waterproof system" connected between the stopcock and the machine offers the safest protection against water leaks. For the "Waterproof system" to function correctly, it may only be fitted in the positions shown (see illustrations above). 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.
Plumbing Important! The plastic casing of the water connection contains an electric component.
Plumbing Connection to the drainage system The machine drains via a drain pump with a delivery head of 1 metre. The hose must not be kinked as this restricts drainage. Thes wivel elbow at the end of the hose can be turned in either direction, or can be detached if required with a sharp twist and pull. Drain hose dimensions: Length . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.5 m Interior diameter . . . . . . . . . . . . 22 mm Exterior diameter . . . . . . . . . . . .
