    							3. Installing the control panel.
    The control panel and hardware is packaged separately from the dishwasher. It
    should be installed using the following procedure.
    If a GDU decor kit is being used, (to
    convert an “i” dishwasher to a “U” ver-
    sion), the spacer bars 
    g must first be
    removed and stored for possible use
    in the future (See the separate instruc-
    tions for installing the GDU decor kit).
    If the GDU kit is 
    not being used, skip
    the following step. 
    To remove the spacer bars from the
    control panel, place the panel on a
    table, printed side up, and gently
    push down on the spacer bars at a
    point near the bottom of the control
    panel. This will release the mounting
    bolts from their slots.
    Install the number of spacer bars g
    required to align the lower edge of
    the control panel with the neighbor-
    ing cabinet drawer line.
    Place the supplied seal b onto the
    ventilation grill 
    c.
    Push the ventilation grill c into the
    metal backing plate.
    Place the control panel d over the
    backing plate and fasten it from the
    inside of the door 
    e using the six
    screws provided. 
    Align and press the program knobs
    onto their shafts 
    f.

    							4. Aligning the control panel
    with the drawer fronts.
    The control panel can be aligned
    with the drawer fronts of the kitchen
    cabinets by adjusting the spacer
    bars.
    Using an 8 mm socket, turn the nut
    clockwise or counterclockwise until
    the spacers reach the required
    height.
    If necessary, individual (or all)
    spacer bars can be removed.
    Adjustment range
    from 4 1/2  control panel with-
    (112 mm): out spacer bars,
    to 5 3/4 control panel with
    (145 mm): four spacer bars,
    to 6: using a fifth spacer bar
    (154 mm): (optional accessory).
    After adjusting the control panel
    height, cut off the plastic screw ex-
    cess.

    							5. Installing the custom 
    door panel.
    A custom door panel matching the kit-
    chen cabinetry can be installed on the
    dishwasher by using the provided tem-
    plates and bracket.
    Length: 19 - 23 3/4 (48.3 - 60.4  cm)
    Width: 23 1/2 (59.8 cm)
    Note: The maximum panel length is
    only applicable when no spacer bars
    are used.
    After panel installation, see Step 6 “Ad-
    justing the door springs”.Place a template on each end of the
    bracket as shown, making sure the
    rule marks face the outside of the
    bracket.
    Hang the bracket on the machine
    door.
    Slide the top edge of the templates
    under the spacer bars and control
    panel.
    Dishwasher installation
    53 
    						
    							Slide the mounting bracket up or
    down until the oblong holes on the
    machine door align with the corre-
    sponding marks on the template (as
    shown in the left side of inset 
    D.
    Draw a line on each template that is
    even with the top edge of the ad-
    jacent cabinet door (inset 
    E).
    Remove the bracket from the door.
    Place the door panel on a flat sur-
    face, good side facing down, taking
    care not to scratch the surface.
    Make certain that the bottom of the
    panel is closest to you.
    Place the bracket on the back of the
    door panel and adjust it so that:
    – the lines you drew on the templates
    align with the upper edge of the door
    panel and;
    – the mounting bracket is centered
    (left to right) on the door panel.
    Tape the bracket to the door panel to
    hold it in place while the mounting
    holes are being drilled.
    Proceed to step “Drill pilot holes ...”.

    							If the adjacent cabinetry (or ap-
    pliance) does not have drawers and
    alignment to a drawer line is im-
    possible:
    Hang the bracket on the machine
    door, without the templates, and
    tighten the four locking screws on
    the edges of the door panel.
    Close the door.
    Measure the distance from the ad-
    jacent cabinet (or appliance) door
    bottom to the bottom of the mounting
    bracket (X).
    Using measurement (X), draw a line
    on the rear of the door panel (X) in-
    ches up from the bottom.
    Remove the bracket from the ma-
    chine door and place it on the rear of
    the door panel so that:
    – the bracket is centered left to right,
    and
    – the bottom of the bracket is aligned
    with the (X) line.
    Tape the bracket to the door panel to
    hold it in place while the mounting
    holes are being drilled.
    Drill pilot holes for the screws using a
    3/32 (2.5 mm) bit.
    Attach the bracket to the panel using
    the 6 screws provided.
    Remove the templates (if used).
    The templates should be kept in case
    you want to install a different door 
    panel on the dishwasher at a later date.
    Attach the panel to the dishwasher
    by aligning the bracket tabs with the
    slots on the door.

    							Open the dishwasher door slightly. If
    the locking screws on the edge of the
    dishwasher door can not be reached,
    the dishwasher will have to be pulled
    out of its recess a few inches.
    Push up one side of the door panel
    until it touches the spacer bars (or
    control panel if spacer bars are not
    being used) and lightly tighten the
    T20 Torx screw on the correspond-
    ing edge of the machine door.
    Repeat the process with the other
    side of the door panel.
    Shut the door.
    Check that the door panel is adjusted
    correctly. It should be snug at the
    top and neatly aligned with the
    cabinet drawer and door lines. If it
    isn’t aligned properly, loosen the Torx
    screws and readjust the panelOnce the door panel is positioned cor-
    rectly :
    Open the dishwasher door.
    Tighten all the Torx screws on the 
    edges of the dishwasher door.
    Use the provided caps to plug the
    locking screw access holes.

    							6. Adjusting the door springs.
    The door springs are adjusted correctly
    when a half opened door remains in
    that position when released.
    If the door drops down, the spring ten-
    sion needs to be increased.
    If the door closes, the spring tension
    needs to decreased.
    The adjusting screw is located in the
    upper front strip, on the left hand side
    of the dishwasher.
    Open the dishwasher door.
    Adjust the door springs to the cor-
    rect balance by using a TORX screw-
    driver:
    –  turn clockwise to increase the 
    tension
    – turn counterclockwise to decrease
    the tension.
    7. Securing the dishwasher 
    to the countertop.
    To ensure the stability of the dish-
    washer, it must be attached to the
    countertop after it has been positioned.
    Insert one mounting bracket into
    each of the slots located at the left
    and right side of the machine top.
    Push the machine into its recess and
    if necessary, raise the dishwasher by
    extending the feet until it just
    touches the underside of the counter-
    top.
    If a steam deflector is installed
    under the countertop, the bracket
    holes must align with the slots in the
    deflector.
    Dishwasher installation
    57 
    						
    							Open the dishwasher door and
    using flat head screws, secure the
    dishwasher to the countertop by
    screwing through both the mounting
    brackets and the steam deflector.
    Make certain that the white rubber
    seal located at the top, outer edge
    of the dishwasher is tight against
    the bottom of the countertop.
    Do not drill any additional holes
    through any portion of the wash
    cabinet. If in doubt how to secure
    the dishwasher, please call the
    Miele Service Department.For Corian® or granite countertops,
    fasten the dishwasher to the adjacent
    cabinets as follows:
    For openings greater than 23 5/8
    (60 cm) wide:
    Pull the dishwasher 4 (10 cm) out of
    its opening.
    Insert the tab of each optional mount-
    ing bracket into the guide hole on
    top of the dishwasher, and then
    swing it to the right  or left as re-
    quired.
    Push the dishwasher back into its open-
    ing, align and fasten it to the adjacent
    cabinets using 2 screws for each
    bracket.
    Dishwasher installation
    58 
    						
    							For openings exactly 23 5/8 (60 cm)
    wide:
    Open the dishwasher door and
    remove the caps covering the mount-
    ing holes on the outer edge of the
    wash chamber.
    Fasten the dishwasher to the ad-
    jacent cabinets using the supplied
    screws and bushings. Make sure a
    bushing is placed over the screw be-
    fore 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 23 5/8 (60 cm) wide. Use
    of this method on larger openings
    will damage the machine and
    cause leaks.
    8. Installing the toekick.
    For kitchens utilizing one continuous
    or a cabinet matching toekick
    To prevent damaging the front
    panel, and before installing the toe-
    kick, measurements must be taken
    to ensure that the toekick will not in-
    terfere with the complete opening of
    the dishwasher door.
    The panel overhang (P), and toekick
    depth of recess (R), determine the maxi-
    mum dishwasher toekick height (H).
    If the panel contacts the toekick while
    the dishwasher door is being opened,
    the dishwasher toekick must be cut
    shorter or recessed deeper.
    If (H) is equal to or less than the toekick
    height of the adjoining cabinetry, no in-
    terference will exist, provided that (R) is
    at least 3/4.
    Note: If a decorative or flush mount toe-
    kick is desired, and (R) is less than
    3/4, other modifications, such as beve-
    ling the top rear edge of the toekick,
    may be necessary.
    Dishwasher installation
    59 
    						
    							For kitchens utilizing the included plas-
    tic toekick
    The included toekick will fit without
    modification when:
    – The machine is set to its maximum
    height (legs fully extended), and
    – the toekick is recessed as far as
    possible (4 ).
    If the machine height is less than maxi-
    mum, or if the toekick is recessed less
    than 4 , the toekick must be shortened
    (see following page).
    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 accordingly.Adjusting the toekick recess.
    To adjust the depth (recess) of the
    toekick, release the tension on the
    spring clips as shown, and push the
    mounting brackets included in the in-
    stallation kit in as far as possible.
