Slowly pull the emergency release cable located at the bottom
of the machine (see illustration).
5. Remove Styrofoam blocks from upper basket support and discard
6. Connect drain hose to the rear of the machine using enclosed hose clamp
All plumbing work must be performed by licensed professionals and adhere to all applicable Local, State, and Federal Codes. Note:
plumbing code in certain areas may require the use of the optional Cool Down Kit (Item # Cool Down Kit) to reduce the temperature
of the effluent. Contact Miele Technical Service for ordering and installation information.
●The drainage system is fitted with a non-return valve which prevents dirty water from flowing back into
the machine via the drain hose.
The drainage system must be able to take a minimum drainage flow of 4 gal/min.
The onsite drain connection point should be located between 1 ft. (0.3 m) and 3 ft. (1 m) above
the lower edge of the machine.
If it is lower that 1 ft. (0.3 m), lay the hose in a curve at a height of at least 1 ft. (0.3 m).

All electrical work must be performed by licensed professionals and adhere to all applicable Local, State, and Federal Codes.
The machine comes equipped for a connection to 208 V, 60 Hz, 1 phase power supply. It is equipped with a 6ft.
long, 10/3 AWG power cord, without a plug. The installer may either install an electrical plug or hardwire the
machine into an electrical junction box that has been installed on the wall or in a cabinet adjacent to the
machine. It should be connected to the main power supply.
Voltage: 208 V, 1 phase
Possible conversion to three-phase - Contact Miele Technical Support for
additional information.The conversion diagram and the wiring diagram is
secured to the inner side of the service panel.
Frequency: 60 Hz
Rated Load: 60kW

Inadvertently filling the sale reservoir with cleaning agent will damage the water softener.
Before filling, make sure that you are using reactivation salt.
13. Test the water hardness and activate softener if necessary
Note: If not using water softener, please set and save the water softener setting at 0.
Before using the machine for the first time the water softener should be programmed according to the hardness
of the incoming water. You can determine water hardness with a simple test kit or by contacting your local
water authority.
Note: the G 7881 is set at the factory for a water hardness level of 19 gr/gal (340 ppm.). If your hardness level is
other than the factory default then the G 7881 must be reprogrammed to the proper setting. Reference the
Hardness Table below for the correct value.
Water Hardness Table
A. Filling the salt reservoir:
Only Miele approved reactivation salt should be used in the G 7881.
Do not use other types of salt, e.g. table salt, agricultural, or gritting salt. These could contain
components which are insoluble in water and could damage the water softener. If in doubt,
consult Miele's Professional Department.
The Salt reservoir holds approx. 2.5 kg of salt.

system.
15. Add the rinse aid
Rinse aid is necessary to ensure water does not cling to and leave marks on items during the drying phase. It
also enables items to dry faster after they have been washed. Rinse aid is poured into the storage reservoir and
a pre-set amount is dispensed automatically. The rinse aid reservoir holds approximately 180 ml.
