Installation On Concrete Base; Leveling The Machine - Miele PWM 920 EL Installation

The washing machine must be set up on a completely level, horizon-
tal, and firm surface with the minimum stated load bearing capacity
(see "Technical data").
Tip: A concrete floor is the most suitable installation surface for this
machine. It is far less prone to vibration during the spin cycle than
wooden floorboards or a carpeted surface.
The floor load created by the washing machine is the load exerted
by the area of the machine in contact with and transferred to the in-
stallation surface.
The washing machine requires a gap of at least 2" (50 mm) on each
side to allow for movement during operation. Please ensure a mini-
mum distance of 15 3/4" (400 mm) is maintained between the rear of
the appliance and the rear wall.
The washing machine must not be installed on a carpeted floor.
The feet of the washing machine must be secured to the fastening
points on the floor using the fixtures and fastenings supplied.
The material provided is intended for use in bolting the machine to a
concrete floor. If other floor types are present at the installation site,
the fixtures and fastenings must be provided by the customer.

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 ca-
pable of withstanding any burden or force from the washing ma-
chine.
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 dur-
ing a spin cycle if it is not secured.

Leveling the machine

Align the washing machine vertically and horizontally using the ad-

justable feet and a level.
The washing machine must stand perfectly level on all four feet to
ensure safe and proper operation. Otherwise water and energy con-
sumption will be increased and the machine could move.
