This dishwasher is intended to be built
into a tall unit.
The following are needed:
–A facia panel (GW...),
–A dishwasher front, consisting of a
panel front and plinth facia (GFH 55),
–A building in frame (GER 60).
The facia panel and the front panel
must be fitted before the dishwasher is
built into the tall unit.
,To ensure stability this dish-
washer must only be built into a tall
unit. It must not be set up as a free-
standing machine.
The tall unit should be secured to
the wall for stability with the bracket
supplied.
,On dishwashers with a drying
fan, moist air is expelled through the
vent outlet in the front of the machine
at the end of a programme. It contin-
ues to be expelled for a certain
length of time or until the door is
opened.
To prevent damaging surrounding
fittings (e. g. worktops with wood
edging) the fan running time can be
increased to 45 minutes (see "Addi-
tional functions" in the Operating In-
struction manual for the machine).

1.Measurements for building in
The following conditions must be met:
– The recess floor must be capable of
bearing a load of at least 80 kg.
– The housing unit must be at least
550 mm deep.
– The installation duct (from base of
the recess to the floor) must be at
least 50 mm deep and 100 mm wide.
Normally connection to water is sited
near the dishwasher, for example in the
area under the sink. A Miele sink base
unit already has a suitable cut out for
installation. If the base unit has no
cut-out and if there is no opening
through the plinth area for connections,
one must be made.
Suggested dimensions: 60 x 110 mm.
The same applies to the tall unit in
which this dishwasher is to be installed.
,There must be no electrical
sockets behind the dishwasher.
Danger of overheating and fire risk if
the dishwasher were to be pushed
up against a plug.

8.Adjusting the door springs
The door springs are correctly adjusted
when the door remains stationary when
left open at 45 °.
If the door drops down, then the door
springs need to be tightened.
If it closes then the springs need to be
loosened.
The adjusting screw is located in the
upper front strip at the left hand side of
the dishwasher.

,Please follow the installation in-
structions carefully.
All electrical work should be carried
out only by a suitably qualified and
competent person, in strict accor-
dance with national and local safety
regulations.
Ensure power is not supplied to the
appliance while installation work is
being carried out.
This dishwasher is supplied with a
mains cable and moulded plug ready
for connection to an a.c. single phase
supply, (230 -240 V 50 Hz for the UK
and Australia) via a fused plug and suit-
able switched socket which is easily
accessible after installation.
^The voltage, rated load and fuse rat-
ing are given on the data plate lo-
cated above the door. Please ensure
that these match the household
mains supply.
For extra safety it is advisable to install
a residual current device (RCD), with a
trip current of 30 mA (in accordance
with DIN VDE 0664, VDE 0100 Section
739).
^Do not connect via an extension lead.
Danger of overheating.
,If the connection cable is dam-
aged it must be replaced with a
complete connection box and cable
by a Miele approved service techni-
cian only.
Important
If this machine is fitted with a
non-rewireable plug (BS 1363) and the
socket outlets are not suitable for the
plug supplied or if the existing plug
needs to be replaced by a new one, the
old plug will need to be cut off and an
appropriate plug fitted. The fuse carrier
and the fuse should be removed from
the old plug and disposed of.
The plug cut from the cable should then
be disposed of and on no account be
inserted into any socket elsewhere in
the house (electric shock hazard).
The fuse cover must be refitted when
changing the fuse, and if the fuse cover
is lost, the plug must not be used until a
suitable replacement is obtained. The
colour of the correct replacement cover
is that of the coloured insert in the base
of the plug, or the colour that is em-
bossed in words on the base of the
plug (as applicable to the design of
plug fitted).
The correct fuse rating of the replace-
ment fuses that are ASTA approved to
BS 1362 should be fitted. Replacement
fuse covers may be purchased from
your local electrical supplier or Miele
Service Agent.
