1.Install the steam deflector
A stainless steel steam deflector is sup
plied to protect the countertop from
steam and condesation when the dish
washer is opened. If the countertop is
made of Corian®, granite, marble or
other solid, waterproof material, the
steam deflector is not required.
The steam deflector has a reflector to
indicate when the dishwasher is run
-
ning.
The left side of the reflector and the
optic indicator in the the control
panel must line up for the indicator
to work.
If the counter is made of different
materials, the steam deflector
should be positioned so that it covers the edge where the materials are
joined. Countertops with wood or
laminate edging should be tacked
through the rear holes of the steam
deflector.
^
Squeeze a bead of silicone sealant
from the supplied tube into the ridge
formed by the curved edge, a, of the
steam deflector.
^ Line up the steam deflector, b, with
the lower front edge of the countertop
and use the supplied tacks to nail in
place.
^ Wipe off any excess silicone with a
rag.
^
Press the optic indicator reflector in
place.
Installation
10
Stone or marble countertops:
The steam deflector is not required for
countertops made of solid, waterproof
material. But, it is needed for determin
-
ing the correct position of the optic indi
-
cator reflector.
^
Remove the black plastic reflector
holder and the tape holding it in
place from the steam deflector.
^ With the reflector cut out left and
frontwards, align the steam deflector
with the front edge of the counter.
Trace the outline of the reflector onto
the underside of the counter with a
pencil.
Note:
For rounded countertops it may be nec
essary to make the tracing closer to the
counter’s edge so the optic reflection
will be visible.
^
Adhere the double-sided sticker to
the back of the optic indicator reflec
-
tor.
^
Remove the backing from the other
side of the sticker.
^ Line up the reflector with the tracing
and press into place.
The "Extended drying" feature can
be activated to further protect the
counter from condensation. See the
"Operating instructions / Additional
features."
Installation
11
2. Install the slide skis
Two slide skis are included and should
be installed on the feet of the dish
washer before the machine is pushed
under the countertop. This will allow the
machine to slide easier, protect the
floor, and allow adjustment of the rear
leveling legs from the front of the unit.
^
First, adjust the height of the legs so
that the top of the dishwasher is
roughly
1
/8" (3 mm) below the
countertop.
Tipping the machine slightly to the rear,
if possible, will make adjusting the front
legs easier. Make sure the machine is
level when adjustments are complete.
^
Place the skis, with the ratchet at the
rear, under the dishwasher legs.
Installation
12
3.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.
The floor of the cut out where the dish
washer 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 a 2" x 4" (5 x 10 cm) cut out in
the side or bottom of the cabinet ad
joining the dishwasher. This cut out is
necessary for connections to pass
through.
^
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 ope
ning 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.
The left side of the optic indicator
reflector and the optic indicator must
align.
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 dish
washer in or out, to prevent damage
to the power cord or hoses.

To lower the machine turn counter
clockwise.
Several turns may be needed to set the
correct height. Do not use a power
screwdriver.
^ Adjust the front leveling legs by
pushing on the feet with a slotted
screwdriver.
^ Tipping the machine slightly back-
wards, if posssible will make adjusting the front legs easier. Make sure
the machine is level when adjustments are complete.
The dishwasher should be raised
until it just touches the underside of
the countertop.
Installation
14
5.Install the custom door
panel
A custom door panel must be installed
on the dishwasher before it can be
safely operated. A single large panel or
a two piece panel separated at the
drawer line can be used.
Panel size is determined in the follow
-
ing manner:
Panel Height = HTC - TKH
HTC = Height to the underside of
countertop
TKH = Toe Kick Height
Panel Dimensions:
Width:
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . 173/4" (45 cm)
Range of panel height:
G 800 series . . . . . . . . . 271/2" - 301/4"
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . (699 - 768 mm)

panel is towards you.
^
Using a pencil, lightly draw a vertical
centerline on the panel (See the illus
-
tration on the next page).
^
Draw a horizontal line X inches up
from the bottom edge of the panel.
For two piece panels:
Two piece panels should be made so
that any joining hardware is flush with
the back of the panel. Failure to do this
may impede proper operation of the
dishwasher.
In certain instances, you may be able
to use the mounting bracket supplied
with the machine to secure both pieces
to the dishwasher. Consult your cabinet
supplier / maker for the best method of
joining the panels.
When mounting the two pieces,
make sure that the desired finished
panel height is maintained.
Installation
17
^
Place the bracket on the door panel
so the notches, a, cross the drawn
centerline, and the bottom of the
bracket lines up with the horizontal X
line.
^
Mark and drill pilot holes for the
screws using a
3
/32" (2.5 mm) drill bit.
^
Attach the bracket to the back of the
panel, using the 14 screws provided.
The top four pair of holes, only need
to be secured once per pair.
^
Double check the location of the
bracket before mounting the panel to
the dishwasher.
The door handle must be installed on
the panel before it is attached to the
machine. It should be located in the
center of the panel at a height that will
match the surrounding drawer handles.
Any screws used to attach the door
handle must be countersunk so that
the rear of the front panel remains
flat.

(45 cm) wide:
^ Open the dishwasher door and
remove the caps covering the mounting holes on the outer edge of the
wash cabinet.
^ Secure the dishwasher to the ad-
jacent cabinets using the supplied
screws and bushings. Make sure a
bushing is placed over the screw
before inserting it into its mounting
hole.
^
Tighten the screws and replace the
caps.
,
The side mounting holes
should only be used for securing
the dishwasher if the opening is
exactly 17
3
/4" (45 cm) wide. Using
this method on larger openings
may damage the machine and
cause leaks.
Installation
21
8. Adjust the door springs
^
Open the dishwasher door halfway.
If the door remains in this position when
released, the springs are adjusted cor
-
rectly.
If the door drops, the tension on the
springs need to be increased.
If the door closes on its own, the
tension on the springs need to be
decreased.
^
To adjust the door springs use a T20
Torx or a small slotted screwdriver
and turn the screw located behind
the door in the upper front strip, on
the left hand side of the dishwasher.
Do not use a power screwdriver.
– turn clockwise to increase the
tension
– turn counterclockwise to
decrease the tension.
Note:
If the door springs can not be adjusted
enough (the door falls), the custom
door panel is too heavy.
Call your Miele dealer or the Technical
Service Department for advice on
stronger door springs.
Installation
22
9.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 con
nect 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)
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 pres
-
sure reducer must be installed.
New plumbing:
The water inlet hose comes equipped
with a
3
/4" female hose thread connector. This can be directly connected
to a shut off valve with
3
/4" 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.
Installation
23
Existing plumbing:
If the standard
3
/8" copper plumbing for
a dishwasher already exists with a com
-
pression fitting and valve as pictured:
^ Cut the
3
/8" copper tubing after the
valve.
^ Install the
3
/8" compression to3/4"
MHT (Male Hose Thread) adapter
(supplied with the machine), as illustrated.
^
For any other size plumbing, buy the
correct size adapter from a hardware
store.
^
Connect the inlet hose to the existing
valve /adapter assembly.
,
WARNING - Electrical Hazard
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.
Installation
24
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 pre
vent 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)
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.
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.
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
25
Venting the drainage system
If the dishwasher drain hose is con
-
nected 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.
^
Cut off the vent cap located at the
right rear of the triple filter system, as
illustrated.
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.

11. Test the unit
Once the dishwasher is level and
secured it should be tested.
^
Remove all packing and literature
from inside the unit.
The yellow Child Safety Lock key
hung on the upper basket must
be
removed before operating the dish
washer. If not removed, the key
could become lodged in the circula
-
tion pump.
^
Make sure the triple filter system in
the base of the wash cabinet is
locked in place. Turn the handle
clockwise to lock.
^
Close the soap dispenser. Do not
add detergent.
^
Run the dishwasher through the
"Rinse & Hold" program. See the op
erating instructions for information on
operation and program selection.

If the optic indicator reflector does
not shine, realign the dishwasher.
^
Check for any leaks, odd noises and
flashing / lit fault indicators on the
control panel. See "Operating Instruc
tions / Frequently asked questions" if

12. Install the toekick
For installations using a continuous
toekick or a cabinet matching toekick
Before installing the toekick
, measure
ments must be taken to ensure that the
toekick will not interfere with the com
-
plete opening of the dishwasher door.
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 (R) is at
least
3
/4" (19 mm).
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.
Installation
30
For installations using the included
plastic toekick
^ Insert the mounting bracket with the
flange pointing toward the outside of
the machine.
Push the mounting brackets in as far as
possible by releasing the tension on the
spring clip (see illustration).
The included toekick will fit without
modification if the machine is set to its
maximum height and the toekick is re
-
cessed as far as possible (4" / 10 cm).
If the machine height is less than maxi
mum, or if the toekick is not recessed 4"
(10 cm), the toekick must be shortened.
The rear of the toekick has two cutting
lines.
Installation
31
^
Screw the toekick onto the installed
brackets, with the cutting lines towards the top, and pull out evenly
and slowly until it aligns with the
toekick of the adjoining cabinets.
The toekick can not be pushed
back in once it has been extended.
It must be unscrewed, so that the
tension on the spring clips can be
released. The brackets can then
be pushed in, and the toekick reat
-
tached.
^
Carefully
open the dishwasher door
until it hits the toekick.
^ Using the front
lower edge of the
door panel as a guide, draw a line
across the toekick.
^ Unscrew and remove the toekick.
^ If one of the cutting lines is close to
the line just drawn, score the front of
the toekick, and snap off the excess,
otherwise, trim the toekick along the
line using a saw.
^
Screw the toekick back onto the brack
-
ets, with the cut edge at the bottom
.
After installation, carefully open the
dishwasher door to check that the front
panel does not hit the toekick. If it does,
remove the toekick and trim it accord
-
ingly.
