Installation Site; Removing The Shipping Struts - Miele PW 6241 Operating And Installation Instructions

The washer must only be installed by a Miele
authorized service technician.
Before installation or service disconnect the power
supply to the work area.
The minimum dimensions and distance required
from the wall, as shown in the installation diagram,
must be observed to allow service to be
performed and the data plate to be viewed.

Installation site

A concrete or reinforced floor is the most suitable
surface for the washer. These types of floors are less
prone to vibration during the spin cycle.
The washer must be leveled for proper operation. The
machine does not need to be installed on a base,
however, any unevenness in the floor must be
compensated for.
Do not install or store this machine in a room
where temperatures below freezing may occur or
where the machine may be exposed to the
weather.
Do not install the washer on carpeting. Carpeting
will block the washers air vents.
