Installation and planning notes
Installation requirements
The washing machine must be installed by Miele Service or by
properly trained staff of an authorized dealer.
This washing machine must be installed in accordance with all rel-
evant regulations and standards. Local energy supplier regulations
must also be observed.
This washing machine must only be operated in a room that has
sufficient ventilation and which is frost-free.
The washing machine should not be installed or operated in any
area where there is a risk of explosion.
Storage/Transportation
The following conditions must be observed for transport and storage
of the machine:
– Ambient temperature: 32-105°F (0-40°C)
– Humidity: non-condensing
General operating conditions
This washing machine is intended only for use in an industrial environment and must only be operated indoors.
– Ambient temperature of location: 32-105°F (0-40°C)
– Relative humidity: non-condensing
– Maximum height above sea level of location site: 6500 ft (2000 m)
Depending on the nature of the installation site, sound emissions and
vibration may occur.
Tip: Have the installation site inspected and seek the advice of a professional in instances where increased noise may cause a nuisance.

Installation and planning notes
Installation
This washing machine must be transported to its installation site using a suitable pallet jack. Remove the transport packaging.
The washing machine must be set up on a level and firm surface with
the minimum stated load bearing capacity (see "Technical data").
The floor load created by the washing machine is concentrated and
transferred to the installation footprint via the machine feet.
Tip: A concrete floor is the most suitable installation surface for this
machine, being far less prone to vibration during the spin cycle than
wooden floorboards or a carpeted surface.
The washing machine requires a gap of at least 2" (50mm) on each
side to allow for movement during operation. To ensure suitable access for further maintenance and service work, please ensure a minimum distance of 16" (400mm) is maintained between the back of the
machine and the wall.
Installation on concrete base
The washing machine can be installed on a concrete base if desired.
The concrete materials and the durability of the concrete base must
be assessed in accordance with the floor load bearing capacity
given in "Technical data".
To guarantee the stability of the washing machine, make sure that
the concrete base is sufficiently stable on the floor and that it is capable of withstanding any burden or force from the washing machine.
The washing machine must be secured to the concrete base using
the fixtures and fastenings supplied.
The washing machine must be secured to the base immediately
after installation!
There is a risk of the washing machine falling off a raised base during a spin cycle if it is not secured.

Installation and planning notes
Leveling the machine
Align the washing machine vertically and horizontally using the ad-
justable feet and a spirit level.
The washing machine must stand perfectly level on all four feet to
ensure safe and proper operation. Otherwise water and energy consumption will be increased and the machine could move.
After aligning the machine tighten the lock nuts by turning them in a
counterclockwise direction with a wrench. This will prevent the feet
from moving.
Securing the machine
The feet of the washing machine must be secured to the concrete
base using the fixtures and fastenings supplied.
Fittings supplied are for installation on a concrete floor. For other
types of flooring please purchase suitable fitting materials separately.

Installation and planning notes
Electrical connection
The electrical connection must only be carried out by a qualified
electrician who must ensure that all electrical work is carried out in
accordance with applicable electrical regulations and standards.
The washing machine must be connected to an electrical supply
that complies with local and national regulations. Please also observe
your insurance and energy supplier's regulations as well as any health
and safety at work regulations.
The required voltage, power consumption and specifications for
external fusing are quoted on the data plate on the washing machine.
Ensure that the supply voltage complies with the voltage quoted on
the data plate before connecting the washing machine to the power
supply.
Connection to a supply voltage other than the one quoted on the
data plate can lead to functional faults and damage the washing
machine.
If more than one voltage is quoted on the data plate, the washing
machine can be converted for connection to the voltages stated.
Conversion to a different voltage must only be carried out by a
Miele Service engineer or by an authorized Service Dealer. The wiring
instructions given on the wiring diagram must be followed.
The washing machine can either be hard-wired or connected via a
plug and socket that complies with national codes and regulations.
For a hard-wired connection an all-pole isolation device must be installed on site.
For hard-wired machines connection should be made via a suitable
switch with all-pole isolation which, when in the off position, ensures
a 1/8" (3 mm) gap between all open contacts. These include circuit
breakers, fuses and relays.
If the power supply cannot be permanently disconnected, the isolator
switch (including plug and socket) must be safeguarded against being switched on either unintentionally or without authorization.
Tip: We recommend connection to the power supply via a suitable
plug and socket which must be easily accessible for servicing and
maintenance work after the machine has been installed.

Installation and planning notes
If it is necessary to install a residual current device (RCD) in accor-
dance with local regulations, a residual current device typeB (sensitive to universal current) must be used.
An existing typeA residual current device, (RCD) must be exchanged
for a typeB RCD.
If necessary, equipotential bonding with good galvanic contact
must be guaranteed in compliance with all applicable local and national installation specifications.
Equipotential bonding must have an earth current rating >10mA.
Accessories for equipotential bonding are not supplied and need to
be ordered separately.

Installation and planning notes
Water connection
The washing machine complies with current local and national
safety regulations protecting the drinking water supply and can
therefore be connected to the drinking water supply without a nonreturn valve.
The machine is designed to operate with a supply pressure of between 14.5psi (1bar) and must not exceed 145psi (10bar). If it is
highter than 145psi (10bar) a pressure reducing valve must be used.
The machine must be connected to the water supply using the inlet
hoses provided.
The connection points are subject to water supply pressure.
Turn on the faucet slowly and check for leaks.
Correct the position of the seal and union if necessary.
Cold water connection
Hot water connection
A supply faucet with ¾" threaded union is required for each connection to the water supply (single or double). If this is not present, the
washing machine should be connected to the water supply by a qualified plumber.
The inlet hose for cold water (blue stripes) is not intended to be
used with a hot water supply line.
To minimize energy consumption during operation with hot water,
the washing machine should be connected to a hot water ring circuit.
So-called "transmission lines" (single lines to hot water generators)
can result in cooling down of the water remaining in the pipes if not
in constant use. More energy would then be consumed to heat the
water up again.
Use the inlet hose supplied (red stripes) for the hot water connection.
The temperature of the water intake must not exceed 158°F (70°C).
If there is no hot water supply at the installation location for the washing machine, the connection hose must nevertheless be connected to
the cold water supply. A Y-piece is required in this case. The cold water consumption increases accordingly to account for the missing hot
water intake.
For functional and technical reasons it is not possible to operate
the machine exclusively with a hot water connection (without a
separate cold water intake).
Even if a hot water connection is present, the washing machine
must be connected to a cold water intake.
