4. Install the dishwasher under
the countertop
The dishwasher must be installed so
that the water and electricity supplies
can be accessed through an adjacent
cabinet. The supplies must not be
located behind the machine.
WARNING - Fire hazard
,
Do not cover or crush the plug of an
electric appliance. Ensure that the
cabinet opening for the dishwasher
provides ample space for the plug.
Installing the dishwasher in a tight
space may crimp the power cord or
put pressure on the plug which may
cause overheating.
The floor of the cut out where the
dishwasher will be installed should be
even in height with the surrounding
kitchen floor. Plywood can be secured
to the floor to make the two areas even.
Make certain that there are no rough
^
edges that could damage the power
cord or hoses. If metal cabinets are
used, place the supplied rubber
grommet around the edge of the
opening before passing the cable
through.
^ Slide the machine into the opening,
making sure the electrical cable and
hoses can reach their connection
points without kinking.
^
Make a 2" x 4" (5 x 10 cm) cut out in
the side or bottom of the cabinet
adjoining the dishwasher. This cut out
is necessary for connections to pass
through.
The drain hose connection at the rear of
the dishwasher can be turned to allow
the hose to be angled to the right or
left.
Exercise care when sliding the
dishwasher in or out, to prevent
damaging the power cord or hoses.

11. Make the plumbing
connections
An air gap is built into the water inlet
system to prevent potable water from
mixing with waste water.
The dishwasher can heat its own water
to the temperatures required by the
wash program. This allows the option of
connecting the machine to either a hot
or cold water source.
For lowest energy consumption
^
connect the dishwasher to a cold
water source.
^ For fastest possible wash times, with
slightly higher energy consumption,
connect the dishwasher to a hot
water source.
Hot water supply specifications:
Recommended temperature:
120 °F (49 °C), max 140 °F (60 °C)
New plumbing:
The water inlet hose comes equipped
3
with a
connector. This can be directly
connected to a shut off valve with
MHT (male hose thread ends).
Preferred Installation:
The hose assembly should be installed
vertically so the hose exits from the
bottom of the valve box (not as shown).
If this is not possible, it can be installed
horizontally, provided the hose exit
remains beneath the main body of the
valve box (see illustration). The valve
box should also be installed so that it is
at least 10" (24 cm) above the floor (or
base of the cabinet), so that the excess
coiled hose will remain lower than the
valve box at all points.

Water pressure:
Must be between 5 - 145 psi
(0.3 -10 bar).
If the water pressure is too low, the
"Intake/Drain" or "Intake" indicator may
flash (see Operating Instructions/
"Frequently asked questions").
If the water pressure is too high, a
pressure reducer must be installed.

Do not cut the intake hose. If the
,
hose is cut, the dishwasher will not
work. There will be a water leak and
you could be injured. If the hose is
too long, coil it neatly and place it
behind the machine.
Electrical wiring and components
should not come into contact with
any plumbing fixtures or hoses.
^
For any other size plumbing,
purchase the correct size adapter
from a hardware store.

Drainage system specifications:
The machine comes equipped with:
A 5 ft. long (1.5 m) flexible drain hose
–
with an internal diameter of
7
/8"
(22 mm). Drain hose extensions can
be ordered from Miele’s Technical
Service Department.
A built-in swivel connector allowing
–
the drain hose to be routed in any
direction.
A built-in mechanical non-return
–
valve on the discharge side to
prevent waste water from flowing
back into the dishwasher.
– A built-in odor trap on the discharge
side to prevent odors from entering
the kitchen.
Maximum drain height: 39" (1 m)
Installation
Connect the supplied drain hose to the
drain pipe of the kitchen sink either:
– above the P trap using the clamp
provided, or
– to the dishwasher connector of the
garbage disposal.
Maximum drain hose length: 12 ft
(3.5 m)
Do not shorten the drain hose.
Do not connect the drain hose to
anything but a genuine Miele hose.
Other hoses may melt or collapse.
When connecting the drain hose to
the garbage disposal, make sure to
remove the knockout from the
connection nipple. (See the disposal
manufacturer’s instructions for this
procedure.)

Installation
Venting the drainage system
If the dishwasher drain hose is
connected to a floor drain or to a
drain pipe that is less than 8" (20 cm)
above the floor, the drain must be
vented. Otherwise the water inside the
dishwasher may siphon out during the
wash program.
To vent the drain:
Open the dishwasher door and
^
remove the lower basket.
Additional note
Since all Miele dishwashers are
equipped with an odor trap and nonreturn valve, the drain hose can be
connected directly to the drain pipe as
illustrated.
If plumbing codes require an external
air gap on the discharge side of the
dishwasher, the following requirements
must be met:
No part of the drain hose should be
–
higher than 39" (1 m).
If installed horizontally, the drain
–
hose can be up to 12 ft (3.5 m) long.
If the drain hose is angled upwards
in any way, it cannot be longer than
5 ft (1.5 m).
– The drain connection should be
made as close as possible to the
dishwasher.
– The internal diameter (
7
/8" or 22 mm)
of the drain hose should not be
reduced at any point.

14. Install the toekick
For installations using a continuous
toekick or a cabinet matching toekick
Before installing the toekick
measurements must be taken to ensure
that the toekick will not interfere with the
complete opening of the dishwasher
door.
,
If the door panel hits the toekick when
the dishwasher door is opened, the
toekick must be cut shorter or recessed
deeper.
Note:
If a decorative or flush mount toekick is
desired, and (R) is less than
3
/4"
(19 mm), other modifications, such as
beveling the top rear edge of the
toekick, may be necessary.
It is extremely important that the
toekick is removable in case service
is needed.
The door panel overhang (P), and
toekick depth of recess (R), determine
the maximum dishwasher toekick
height (H).
If (H) is equal to or less than the toekick
height of the adjoining cabinets, no
interference will exist, provided that (R)
is at least
36
3
/4" (19 mm).
