Installation beneath a counter
If a countertop is placed over the washer, at least a 1/4" gap must be left between the top of the machine and bottom of the countertop; nothing should be within 1/2" of any side of the washing machine. When the machine lid needs to be removed to reduce the height of the machine, a countertop kit* is necessary. The cover plate in the countertop kit replaces the machine lid and ensures electrical safety. A filler frame* is recommenced at a countertop height of 35 7/16" to 35 13/16" (90 - 91 cm). Water intake, drain and electrical connections should be installed near the machine and be easily accessible. An installation manual is supplied with the countertop kit. (* available from your Miele dealer or Miele). The Miele washing machine can be installed as part of a washer-dryer stack in combination with a Miele tumble dryer. An appropriate "stacking kit" is required (part # 026). (* available from your Miele dealer or Miele.) Note: a Safety distance to the wall: minimum 13/16" (2 cm) b Height: Stacking kit with pull out shelf 66 15/16" (170 cm) Reinstallation of the machine lid When reinstalling the machine lid, check the fit of the cover at the rear bracket to ensure safe transport.

Washer / Dryer Stack

Washer stand with drawer
A washer stand is available to raise the machine for convenience. It has a drawer to store cleaning essentials. The stand can be purchased as an optional accessory.

Plumbing

The washing machine can be connected to a portable water supply. A non-return valve is not needed unless required by building code. The washing machine has 1/2" pressure hoses with 3/4" female hose thread connections. If there is no water hookup, contact a plumber to install a connection. Make sure that the sealing ring is seated properly on the hose connector. Replace the hose only with a genuine Miele hose, or with a hose able to withstand up to 145 psi (10 bar) pressure. The water valve connector must also be able to withstand 145 psi (10 bar).

,The bolted connection is
pressurized by water pressure. Open the water valve slowly to check for leaks. Adjust the rubber seal and the bolted connection if necessary.
To protect the inlet valve, the two filters - one at the pressure hose / valve connection and one at the inlet connection to the solenoid valve must not be removed. Optional accessory hose extension Hose extensions with a length of 7/16" to 1/2" (2.5 to 4 m) are available from your Miele dealer or Miele.

Water connection

Connect the cold water intake hose (blue mark) to the cold water valve and the hot water intake hose (red mark) to the hot water valve. If the machine is being connected only to a cold water supply, both the hot and cold water intake hoses must be attached to the cold water valve through the use of a Y adapter (available at a hardware store). Both hoses must be connected to a water source, or the machine will not function properly. Do not connect the washer to hot water only. Turn on the valve(s) and check for leaks. The water pressure must be within 15-145 psi (1-10 bar). If the water pressure is greater that 145 psi (10 bar), a pressure reducer must be installed. If the water pressure is below 15 psi (1 bar), there will not be enough water available for a complete fill. The water intake hoses are equipped with screen filters. Do not remove these filters except for cleaning. Tips for a hot water connection The hot water temperature from the hot water valve must not exceed 140F; the ideal temperature is 130F. If there is no water pressure at the hot water inlet, the unit automatically switches to cold water after several minutes.

Drainage

The 5 foot drain hose may be connected as follows: 1. Directly into a sink: hook the hose over the edge of the sink and secure it firmly (e.g. by tying the hose to the water faucet). 2. To a stand pipe: place the drain hose into a 1 1/2" stand pipe and secure it firmly. 3. To a floor drain: The machine is equipped with an airgap/ anti-siphoning system so that no minimum drain height is required. ^ The machine drains using a pump with a maximum delivery height of 4 feet. ^ Make sure there are no kinks in the drain hose. If desired, the drain hose may be extended to run a maximum of 16 feet, as long as the 4 foot height is not exceeded. Hose extensions are available from your dealer or Miele.
