Installation and connection Installation surface Installation A concrete floor is the most suitable installation surface. It is far less prone to vibration during the spin cycle than wooden floorboards or a carpeted surface. Lift the machine from its packaging base and move it to its site. Please note the following: ^ Do not lift the machine by the drum door. Please note the following: ,Ensure that the machine feet and ^ The machine must be level and securely positioned.
Installation and connection Removing the transit fitting A Turn the left-hand transit bar 90°. B Turn the right-hand transit bar 90°. C Withdraw the two bars together with the support plate. D Plug the holes with the plastic caps supplied. The machine must not be moved without the transit fitting in place. Store the transit fitting in a safe place for future use. It must be re-fitted if the machine is to be moved again (e.g. when moving house). 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. ^ Loosen counternut 2 with a screwdriver by turning it anti-clockwise, then unscrew foot 1 together with the counternut. ^ Put the machine back on all four feet. ^ Use a spirit level to check the machine is standing level. Incorrect installation may increase electricity and water consumption and may cause the machine to move about.
Installation and connection Building under: This machine is specially designed for installation under a continuous worktop run in a fitted kitchen. It is supplied with a cover plate which must be used in place of the machine’s own lid. ,To ensure electrical safety the cover plate must be fitted and must not be removed! Please note: – The slides supplied should be used to protect the floor from damage when the machine is pushed into position or taken out for servicing.
Installation and connection Matching the facia panel to the height of adjacent drawer fronts The adapter can be height adjusted to match the height of adjacent drawer fronts by: – adjusting the nuts or – removing one or more of the adapter strips. Adapter strip adjustment range: Fitting the front panel The machine front can be fitted with a decor panel to match kitchen units. If fitted in a MIELE kitchen, a front panel can be ordered pre-drilled with the necessary fixing holes.
Installation and connection Drilling template ^ Place the template on the lower edge of the rear of the door panel. There are four short parallel marks in all four corners of the template. ^ Drill fixing holes for the inner door panel to the specified depth. On chipboard fronts: inject silicone sealant (supplied) into the (= Ø10 mm) free holes. ^ Align the template using these marks as your guide.
Installation and connection Aligning the door The door must align so that it is flush with the control panel. If the door is not flush with the control panel it will not shut properly. Example of a flush door: Example of a door which is not flush: To align the door add or remove the spacers located underneath the door latch. Additional spacers are supplied in the accessory pack. Please note: If you use too many spacers the door will not provide a sufficient seal when shut.
Installation and connection Fitting a plinth facing. Fitting the plinth facing: The appliance plinth below the door can be fitted with a plinth facing to match your kitchen. ^ Stick the velcro strip provided to the appliance plinth. The height and return of the appliance plinth cannot be altered. A higher plinth facia can only be fitted if the overall niche height is higher.
Installation and connection The Miele Waterproof system The Miele Waterproof 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 is fitted with an additional electrical safety valve which works like an automatic stopcock and is housed in the inlet hose connection box. – It is pressure proof to between 70 and 100 bar.
Installation and connection Connection to the water supply Connection to the mains water supply Installation For the Miele Waterproof system to function correctly, it may only be fitted in the positions shown in the illustrations above. 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 washer-dryer has been designed to comply with DIN regulations.
Installation and connection The plastic casing of the safety valve contains electrical components. The Waterproof system must only be connected to its own stopcock. It must not be connected to mixer taps or similar and must not be fitted in areas where there is the risk of water or other liquids reaching it. The protective sleeve of the hose must not be damaged or kinked. Do not get wet.
Installation and connection Maintenance and care If you intend to unscrew the Miele Waterproof system hose from the stopcock it is essential to disconnect the machine from the electricity supply first. Only use a Miele Waterproof system hose should you need a replacement. In order to protect the water inlet valves, the dirt filter in the water inlet safety valve connection must not be removed. Extension hose A 4.
Installation and connection Connection to the drainage system Drain hose connection: The machine drains via a drain pump with a delivery head of 1 metre. The drain hose is 1.5 m long. It must not be kinked as this restricts drainage. The swivel 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. Please note the following 1. Direct into a sink. – Hook the hose over the edge and secure.
Installation and connection Electrical connection U.K. Non-rewireable plugs BS 1363 All electrical work should be carried out by a suitably qualified and competent person, in strict accordance with national and local safety regulations. The fuse cover must be refitted when changing the fuse, and if the fuse cover is lost, the plug must not be used until a suitable replacement is obtained.
