Installation surface
A concrete floor is the most suitable
installation surface for a washing
machine, being far less prone to
vibration during the spin cycle than
wooden floorboards or a carpeted
surface.
Please note:
^The machine must be level and
securely positioned.
^To avoid vibrations during spinning,
the machine should not be installed
on soft floor coverings.
If installing on a wooden joist floor:
^We recommend a plywood base (at
least 59x52x3 cm). The base should
span several joists and be bolted to
the joists and not only to the
floorboards. Check for the presence
of pipes and cables first.
If possible, install the machine in a
corner, as this is usually the most stable
part of the floor.
,If the machine is installed on a
raised plinth, it has to be secured
against slippage during spin using
retaining clips (available from the
Miele Spare Parts Dept). Otherwise
there is the danger of the machine
moving about and falling off the
plinth.
Transporting the washing machine to
its installation site
To manoeuvre the machine out of its
packing case to its installation site hold
it by the edge of the lid where it
protrudes to the rear of the washing
machine as well as by the front feet.
,Ensure that the machine feet and
the floor are dry to prevent the
machine from slipping during the
spin cycle.
Removing the transit bars
^To remove the left and right covers
1. Pull on the attached stopper,
2. then use a screwdriver to release the
catch at the top.
Installation and connection
44

^Using the spanner supplied, turn the
left-hand transit bar 90°, then
^withdraw the transit bar.
^Turn the right-hand transit bar 90°,
then
^withdraw the transit bar.
Installation and connection
45

,To avoid the risk of injury the
holes for the transit bars must be
covered after the transit bars have
been removed.
^Plug the holes with the plastic caps
as illustrated.
^Secure the transit bars to the back of
the washing machine. Make sure that
the top catch is located above the
holder.
,The machine must not be moved
without the transit bars in place.
Store them as shown or keep them
in a safe place for future use. They
must be re-fitted if the machine is to
be moved again (e.g. when moving
house).
Re-fitting the transit bars
Re-fitting is carried out by reversing the
procedure.
Installation and connection
46

Levelling the machine
To ensure safe and proper operation,
the washer must stand perfectly level
on all four feet.
Improper footing may increase water
and power consumption, and may
cause the washer to wander across the
floor.
Screw out and adjust the feet
Use the four adjustable feet to level the
washer. The washer is delivered with all
four feet in the shortest (screwed in)
position.
^Use the combination wrench
provided to turn the counternut 2
counterclockwise. Then turn the
counter nut 2together with the foot 1
to unscrew.
^Use a level to check that the washer
is standing square.
^Hold the foot 1securely with a pipe
wrench. Now use the combination
wrench to screw the counternut 2
firmly back up against the housing.
,All four counternuts must be
tightened firmly up against the
housing. Be sure to also check this
on the feet that did not require
levelling. Otherwise, the washer may
wander about.
Installation and connection
47

Installing under a countertop
,The washer lid must NOT be
removed.
Provided the workspace is high
enough, the washer can be pushed
under a countertop with the lid in place.
Washer-dryer stack
The washer can be stacked with a
Miele tumble dryer. A stacking kit will
"WTV 414", be required and can be
obtained through your Miele dealer or
Miele Customer Service.
Please note:
aSafety clearance to wall:
at least 2 cm
bHeight:
Stacking kit with pull-out shelf:
approx. 172 cm
cDepth of the washer-dryer stack:
approx. 65 cm
Stacked units may not be installed
on pedestals.

The Miele water protection
system
The Miele water protection system
protects the washer from water
damage.
The system consists of three main
components:
1) the inlet hose
2) the washer electronics and housing
3) the drain hose
1) The inlet hose
– Hose burst protection
The inlet hose can withstand
pressure of more than 7000 kPa.
2) The electronics and housing
– Sump
Any leaking water is collected in a
sump in the base of the washer. A
float then switches off the inlet
valves, preventing any additional
water inflow, and any water in the
suds container is pumped away.
–Overflow protection
This feature helps prevent the
washer from taking in too much
water. If the water exceeds a certain
level, the drain pump starts and
pumps away the water.
3) The drain hose
The drain hose is equipped with a
ventilation system that prevents the
washer from being emptied
accidentally.
Connecting to the water
supply
The washer is designed to comply with
applicable CSA standards, for
connection to a tap water line. It does
not require a non-return valve.
The flow pressure must be between
100 kPa and 1000 kPa. If the pressure
is above 1000 kPa, a
pressure-reducing valve MUST be
installed.
Two stopcocks with3/4" thread are
required for connecting to the water
supply. If these are not available, you
will need to have a qualified plumber fit
the washer to the water supply.
,The screw fittings are under
pressure from the water line. To
check that the connections are
watertight, slowly open the taps.
Correct the placement of the washer
and union as needed.
Maintenance and care
If the hose ever needs to be replaced,
use only a genuine Miele hose - it is
tested to withstand pressure of at least
7000 kPa.
In order to protect the water inlet
valve, the two dirt filter screens (one
in the open end of the inlet hose, the
other in the inlet point in the washer)
should not be removed.
Optional extension hose
Longer hoses 2.5 or 4.0 m in length are
available from your Miele dealer or
Miele Customer Service.
Installation and connection
49

This washer uses hot and cold
household water.
The washer must always be
connected to a tap water line (cold
water, inlet hose with blue tag).
Tap water line (cold water)
The tap water connection is established
using the inlet hose with the blue
marking.
If the washer is connected to this line
only, the appliance will need to be
re-programmed to cold water fill only.
Please contact your Miele dealer or
Miele Customer Service for
reprogramming instructions.
The second unused inlet hose, with the
red tag, will be attached to the rear of
the washer after re-programming.
Hot water connection
The hot water connection is established
using the inlet hose with the red
marking.
Tips for the hot water connection
–The hot water temperature at the
stopcock must not exceed 60°C, and
the ideal temperature is 55°C.
–If the hot water inlet is closed, the
washer will automatically switch over
to tap water mode after a period of
time. This safety feature is not
intended for long-term use. The
washer will continue to wash in hot
water mode, which can lead to a
poor wash result.
Installation and connection
50

Drainage system
The appliance drains through a pump
with a 1m delivery head. For the water
to drain freely, the hose must be free of
kinks. The swivel elbow at the end of
the hose can be turned in either
direction, or removed as needed with a
sharp twist and pull.
If required, the hose can be extended
to a length of 5m. The necessary parts
can be ordered through your Miele
dealer or Miele Customer Service.
For delivery heads over 1m (up to a
max. of 1.8 m), contact your Miele
Customer Service for a replacement
pump and with a part # 1053992.
Drain hose connection:
1. Hang directly into a washbasin or
sink:
Please note:
– Secure the hose over the edge so
that it will not slip.
– Make sure that the water can drain
away freely without hindrance.
Otherwise, the water could overflow
or be sucked back up into the
washing machine.
2. Connect securely to a plastic drain
pipe with a rubber sleeve (not-return
valve not required).
3. Connect securely to a floor gully.
4. Attach to a washbasin with a plastic
fitting.
