Installing a freestanding dishwasher
Freestanding dishwashers
Freestanding dishwashers do not re
quire any special installation fixings in
the kitchen, (except for plumbing and
electrical connection points. See rele
vant sections at the end of this booklet).
Ensure that the drain hose, inlet hose
and the electric cable are laid to reach
the connection point without any kinks.
The dishwasher must be level and
^
stable when installed.
Any unevenness in the floor level can
^
be compensated for by adjusting the
four screw feet.
Depending on model
the adjustment range is:
– G 601 - G 632 2 cm
(85-87 cm total height)
– G 646 - G 698 4 cm
(85-89 cm total height)

Installing integrated "i" Dishwashers
Integrated ("i") dishwashers
"i" dishwashers are specially designed
for building under a continuous
worktop.
The control panel with its accesso
–
ries is included with the "i" dish
washer in a separate package for
on-site fixing.
The front of the dishwasher is de
–
signed to take a front panel. It can be
fitted with a base unit door front to
match the rest of the kitchen.
The dishwasher does not have a
–
plinth facing. The plinth area of the
dishwasher needs to be covered either with a plinth facing to match the
kitchen furniture or with one which
can be ordered as a special accessory. The separate plinth facing can
be height adjusted to suit the
kitchen. The plinth return is freely adjustable.
Instructions for installing the dishwasher are described in the following
sections.
An "i" model dishwasher can be con
verted into a built-under "U" dishwasher.
–
A decor set GDU must be used.
-
-
-
-
To ensure stability, "i" and "U" mo
,
del dishwashers must only be in
stalled under a continuous worktop
which must be securely screwed to
neighbouring units.
The dishwasher must not be in
,
stalled under a hob. The high radi
ant temperatures which are some
times generated by a hob could
damage the dishwasher.
On dishwashers with a drying
,
fan, moist air is expelled through the
vent outlet in the front of the machine
at the end of a programme. It continues to be expelled for a certain
length of time or until the door is
opened.
To prevent damaging surrounding
fittings (e. g. worktops with wood
edging) the fan running time can be
increased by 14 minutes (see "Addi
tional functions" in the Operating In
struction manual for the machine).

3.Building the dishwasher
into a niche
Connection to water and drainage
should be sited beside and not behind
the dishwasher for accessibility. Con
nections are usually made in the area
under the sink. Many kitchen unit manu
facturers provide a cut-out in the base
of the sink base unit for the hoses to be
fed through.
If the base unit has no opening and if
there is not an opening through the
plinth area for connections, one must
be cut.

Dishwasher height
Adjust the height manually before in
^
stalling the dishwasher.
Leave a space of approx. 5 mm be
low the worktop to allow the dish
washer to be pushed back easily into
the recess. Make sure that the dish
washer stands level.
It is easier to adjust the screw feet if the
weight of the dishwasher is not bearing
down on them.
If possible tip the machine slightly.
Slides
You will find the slides in the upper basket of the dishwasher.
They make installation of the dishwasher easier and protect the floor from
possible damage when moving the appliance into and out of the recess. They
are also used for adjusting the height of
the rear screw feet.

The long holes in the machine outer
door must be aligned with the match
ing markings on the template.
^
Mark the height of the top edge of
adjacent kitchen base unit doors on
the template b.
– the fixing bracket must be the same
distance from the left and right hand
side edges of the door front.
^
Use strips of adhesive tape to hold
the bracket in this position.

panel.
If it is not correctly aligned you may
^
need to loosen the screws and readjust it to the correct alignment.
Once the door front is correctly posi
tioned:
Open the dishwasher door.
^
Tighten all the Torx screws on the
^
sides.
Plug the openings for the fixing
^
screws using the plastic stoppers
provided.

17
Installing integrated "i" Dishwashers
6.Securing the dishwasher
Open the dishwasher door.
^
The holes in the securing pieces
must line up with the long holes in
the worktop cover plate. If this is not
the case, adjust the position of the
dishwasher in the niche (ensure that
the dishwasher is the same distance
from the neighbouring kitchen units
on the right and left hand sides and
line the dishwasher door front up
with neighbouring door fronts).
Screw the countersunk screws
^
(3.9 x 22) supplied upwards through
the securing pieces on the left and
right hand sides into the work surface
to secure the dishwasher.
Ensure that the seal on the top edge
of the dishwasher fits directly
against the worktop. If this is not the
case, adjust the height adjustable
feet some more (see Step 3).
18
Installing integrated "i" Dishwashers
7.Adjusting the door springs
The door springs are correctly adjusted
when the door remains stationary when
left open at 45 °.
If the door drops down, then the door
springs need to be tightened.
If it closes then the springs need to be
loosened.
The adjusting screw is located in the
upper front strip at the left hand side of
the dishwasher.
Please note:
If the door front is too heavy for the
door springs (i.e. the door falls open)
then stronger springs should be fitted.
Please contact your Miele dealer or the
Miele Spare Parts Department for advice.
Half open the dishwasher door.
^
The door springs are easier to adjust
when the door is only half open than
when it is fully open.
^ Adjust the door spring with a Torx
T20 or a 1 x 5.5 mm screwdriver until
it is correctly balanced:
- Turn clockwise = tighten
- Turn anti-clockwise = loosen.

Installing integrated "i" Dishwashers
8.Matching the plinth facing
of a kitchen run
The plinth area of the dishwasher is
normally covered with a plinth run
matching the kitchen furniture.
The height (H) of the plinth facing in
front of the dishwasher depends on the
plinth return (R) and how much the
door front extends below the dishwasher door (P).
Place the plinth facing directly in front
^
of the kitchen run but do not attach.
Carefully open the dishwasher door.
^
If the door front comes into contact with
the kitchen plinth when the dishwasher
door is opened the plinth facing in the
area behind the dishwasher door needs
to be cut to size.
To do this mark where the edge of the
^
door front comes into contact with the
plinth facing.
Cut the plinth facing to size along this
^
line.
^ Place the plinth facing in front of the
kitchen run again and check whether
the dishwasher door can be opened
fully.
If it cannot, trim the plinth facing
again until the correct size is
achieved.
^ Secure the plinth facing to the adja-
cent kitchen units in accordance with
the kitchen furniture manufacturer’s
instructions.
20
If your kitchen does not have a plinth
run matching the kitchen furniture, the
plinth area can be covered with a sepa
rate plinth kit, available at extra cost
(special accessory).

3.Calculate the decor panel
height
The height of the dishwasher front
panel can be adjusted to match neigh
bouring kitchen units. To do this you will
have to trim the decor panel, the filler
card underneath it and the decor frame
strips to size.
If you wish you can fit a decor panel to
match your kitchen furniture instead of
the one supplied with the machine. To
do this you will need a new decor panel
cut to the correct size (see "Calculating
the height of a new decor panel" section on the next page).
Before calculating the height of the de
cor panel you must first set the dish
washer to its correct height (see step 2
"Building the dishwasher into its niche").
-
Measurement X equals the distance
from the lower edge of the dishwasher
door to the lower edge of an adjacent
kitchen unit door front.
The decor panel supplied with the dishwasher is 604 mm high. To match the
height of the panel supplied or create a
new decor panel this measurement
needs to be shortened by dimension X.
-
-
27
Installing built-under "U" model dishwashers
Adapting the height of the decor
panel supplied
Mark the measurement X on the left
^
and right hand side of the decor
panel and on the decor frame strips.
Take off and shorten the decor frame
^
strips, the decor panel and the filler
card (see Step 4).
Calculating the height of a new decor
panel
You can substitute the decor panel sup
plied with the dishwasher with a panel
to match your kitchen decor.
The dimensions for the new panel must
be as follows:
Width:
587 mm
Thickness:
minimum 1 mm and maximum 4 mm.
The filler card fitted behind the decor
panel supplied with the machine is not
required for new panels if they are
2 mm or more in thickness.
4.Matching the plinth facing of
a kitchen run
-
^ Pull the dishwasher out of its recess
enough to allow easy access to the
front panel fixing screws on either
side of the door.
^ Loosen and remove the fixing screws
and push the side decor frame strips
downwards until they are free of the
dishwasher outer door panel and can
be removed.
Height:
604 mm less dimension X mm
^
Mark dimension X on the left and
right hand side of the decor frame
strips.
^
Take off the decor frame strips, the
decor panel and the filler card, and
shorten the decor frame strips, and
the filler card (if used). See Step 4.
28
Installing built-under "U" model dishwashers
Bow the panel slightly, pull it out from
^
under the control panel and take it
off.
^ Shorten the decor frame strips, and
the filler card (if used) by dimension
X.
^ When using the decor panel sup-
plied: Draw a line to join the two
marks for measurement X. Shorten
the decor panel along this line.
,
To avoid the risk of scratching
the decor panel and decor frame
strips you can cover the cutting lines
with adhesive tape. Make sure that
you use a tool which is suitable for
cutting the material from which the
panel and decor frame strips are
made. If in doubt seek professional
advice. Sand down any rough
edges.
When the decor frame strips are short
ened, the hook on the lower edge is cut
off. This hook is only needed for maxi
mum length decor frame strips. It is
used for securing the strips to the door
outer panel.

5.Securing the dishwasher
To ensure stability, the dishwasher must
be fixed securely to the worktop. Two
securing pieces are supplied with the
dishwasher for this purpose.
Screw the countersunk screws
^
(3.9 x 22) supplied upwards through
the securing pieces on the left and
right hand sides into the work surface
to secure the dishwasher.
^ Fit the securing pieces into the slots
on both the left and right hand sides.
^ Push the dishwasher right back into
its recess (making sure it is correctly
aligned).
^
Open the dishwasher door.
The holes in the securing pieces
must line up with the long holes in
the worktop cover plate. If this is not
the case, adjust the position of the
dishwasher in the niche (ensure that
the dishwasher is the same distance
from the neighbouring kitchen units
on the right and left hand sides and
line the dishwasher door front up
with neighbouring door fronts).
Ensure that the seal on the top edge
of the dishwasher fits directly
against the worktop.
If this is not the case, adjust the feet
a bit more (see step 2 "Screw feet").
Granite and marble worktops
With these worktops the dishwasher
must be securely screwed to neigh
bouring units on the right and left hand
sides. To do this you need two special
fixing brackets. These are included in
the accessory pack supplied with the
dishwasher together with fitting instruc
tions.

6.Adjusting the door springs
The door springs are correctly adjusted
when the door remains stationary when
left open at 45°.
If the door drops down, the door
springs need to be tightened.
If the door rises up the springs need to
be loosened.
The adjusting screw is located in the
upper front strip at the left hand side of
the dishwasher.
Please note:
If the door front is too heavy for the
door springs (i.e. the door falls open)
then stronger springs should be fitted.
Please contact your Miele dealer or the
Miele Service Department for advice.
Half open the dishwasher door.
^
The door springs are easier to adjust
when the door is only half open than
when it is fully open.
^ Adjust the door spring with a Torx
T20 or a 1 x 5.5 mm screwdriver until
it is correctly balanced:
- Turn clockwise to tighten.
- Turn anti-clockwise to loosen.

7.Adjusting the plinth return
The plinth return on a "U" model dish
washer can be adjusted between 35
and 100 mm in 2.5 mm increments.
Push the spring clips on either side of
^
the dishwasher outwards and push
the brackets right in.

The fixing brackets face inwards.
On dishwashers G 836 - G 898
-
The plinth facing has two cutting lines.
The fixing brackets face outwards.
^
Screw the plinth facing on to the
brackets with the cutting lines to
wards the top. Then pull the facing
out evenly to align it with plinth fac
ings on adjoining kitchen cabinets.
If you have pulled the plinth facing
out too far you must not attempt to
push it back in. It will have to be un
screwed and taken off. The spring
clips can then be pushed outwards
and the brackets pushed back in.
The facing can then be re-attached
and adjusted again.

8.Matching the plinth facing of
a kitchen run
The plinth facing supplied will fit without
modification:
for a maximum plinth return of 100
–
mm
and when the machine is set to its
–
maximum height (feet fully extended
- max. 5 cm).
If the machine height is lower than the
maximum, and the plinth recess is less
than 100 mm, the plinth facing will need
to be trimmed to size.
To prevent the door hitting the plinth
facing when the dishwasher door is
opened the height of the plinth facing
has to be adjusted to suit the height of
the dishwasher and the depth of the
plinth return.
Using the front lower edge of the
^
dishwasher door as a guide, draw a
horizontal line across the plinth fac
ing.
Unscrew the plinth facing.
^
To shorten the plinth facing:
^
- either trim along this line with
a saw;
or
– cut along one of the cutting lines
if it is close enough to the line
you have drawn.
Score the cutting line along the
plinth facing and then break off
the excess.
^ Screw the plinth facing back onto the
brackets, with the cutting line at the
bottom.
If the door still does not open smoothly
the plinth facing may need further trimming.
-
^
Carefully open the dishwasher door
until the rear bottom edge of the dish
washer door touches the plinth fac
ing.
