							Checking the water level
Checking the water level.
If the water pressure is less than
14.5 psi (1 bar), too little water may
flow into the wash cabinet.
To check the water level, open the
water valve completely and run the
RINSE & HOLD program once (with-
out dishes), to bring water into the
system.
Start the RINSE & HOLD program
again. After approximately 3
minutes, open the door and remove
the lower basket from the machine.The water level is correct when dimen-
sion “
X” is at least 1/8 (4 mm).
If it measures less, the water intake
time must be increased.

							Increasing the water intake
time.
Position the program knob verti-
cally, then pull it off.Using a small screwdriver, turn the
adjusting slot on the right hand side
of the spindle 
carefully counterclock-
wise until it clicks into position.
= Counterclockwise turn 
(increases water intake to 
2 min.)
= Clockwise turn 
(factory setting - 1 min.)
Note:
If the water intake time has been in-
creased, the water hardness selector
should be set one number higher than
that stated in the “Water softener” chap-
ter (if applicable).

							Dishwasher installation
The “i” model dishwasher is designed
for installation under a continuous
countertop.
A panel can be custom made for instal-
lation on the front of the dishwasher, as-
suring a perfect match with the kitchen
cabinetry.
If a standard non-cabinet matching
dishwasher installation is desired, the
“i” model dishwasher can be converted
into a “U” model through the addition of
a GDU 60/60 decor kit. The decor kit is
supplied with separate installation in-
structions.
To ensure stability, these dish-
washers should only be installed
under a continuous countertop
which is securely fastened to the
cabinet base units.
Dimensions:
1) at maximum machine height of 34 7/8
2) at minimum machine height of 32 1/4,
with leg extensions removed
Range of adjustment is approximately
2 3/4.Removing the leg extensions.
The black leg extensions can be
removed if necessary, to reduce the
height of the machine to 32 1/4 – 33
(see Fig.).
A =  Black leg extension (removable)
B =  White leg (must be installed on 
machine).
After removal of the extension, screw
the white legs into the dishwasher.
Machine heights of 33 1/4 – 34
cannot be obtained using the sup-
plied legs.
For this height range, or for heights
greater than 34 7/8, contact the
Miele Parts Department for the ap-
propriate legs.

							1. Installing the steam deflector
– (if applicable).
A stainless steel plate is supplied to
protect the underside of the countertop
against steam rising from the dish-
washer when the door is opened. If the
countertop is made of Corian®, gra-
nite, marble or other solid, waterproof
material, the steam deflector should not
be used.
Squeeze a bead of sealant from the
supplied tube into the angle formed
by the curved edge 
b of the cover-
plate. 
Align the plate c with the lower front
edge of the countertop (see illustra-
tion) and use the supplied tacks to
nail it into place.
On countertops with wood or lami-
nate edging, the tacks should be
nailed through the rear holes of the
plate.
2. Installing the dishwasher
under the countertop.
It is preferable to install the main water
and electric supplies so that they can
be accessed through an adjacent
cabinet, rather than situating them be-
hind the machine. See the “Plumbing”
and “Electrical” sections for proper con-
nection procedures before continuing.
Certain steps in the installation
procedures require that the dish-
washer be pulled out of its opening.
For this reason, perform the final
plumbing and electrical connection-
s 
after the machine has been levelled
and the front panel has been
mounted.

							Install the slides.
Two slides are included and should be
installed on the feet of the dishwasher
before the machine is pushed under
the countertop. This will allow the ma-
chine to slide easier, protect the floor,
and allow adjustment of the rear level-
ing legs from the front of the machine.
Place the slides, with the ratchet at
the rear, onto the dishwasher legs.
Unscrew the legs to raise the ma-
chine to within 1/4 (5 mm) of the
underside of the countertop, and
check that the machine is level, 
before sliding it into its opening.
Push the machine into the opening,
making sure the electrical cable and
hoses can reach their connection
points without being kinked.

							Adjust the rear leveling legs to the re-
quired height.
To raise the machine - turn clockwise.
To lower the machine - turn counter-
clockwise.
Several turns may be needed to set the
correct height. A low speed electric or
cordless screwdriver can also be used.Adjust the front leveling legs by
pushing on the foot with a slotted
screwdriver.
Tipping the machine slightly, if
possible, will make adjusting the
front legs easier. Make sure the ma-
chine is level when adjustments are
complete.
The dishwasher should be raised until it
just touches the underside of the counter-
top.
