							^Connect the appliance to the power
supply and turn it on. After several
seconds the indicator light will come
on.
The indicator light will display different
colors one after the other; any control
light at the end indicates that the
module was correctly installed.
If the indicator light does not come on,
installation of the module was
unsuccessful. In that case, repeat the
process. If that does not correct the
problem, contact Miele.

niche
Keep the appliance door closed
until it is securely fastened in the
niche. Tipping hazard.
If the installation niche is deeper than
the appliance, a solid wooden beama
can be placed behind the anti-tip
bracketsbso the appliance can be
securely attached to the base or wall.
The length of the wooden beama
should be to the width of the installation
space.
If possible, always screw the
wooden beam into existing studs.

							Anti-tip brackets
The anti-tip brackets help keep the
appliance safely secured to the
installation niche to prevent tipping.
Two anti-tip brackets are
recommended for each appliance or
appliance combination (side-by-side).
The distance D between the anti-tip
bracketsbis the width of the
appliance.
^Position the anti-tip bracketsbon
the left and right walls of the
appliance niche.
^Mark the holes through the anti-tip
bracketsbon the floor of the
installation niche.
^
Set the brackets aside.
Assure that there are no electrical
wires or plumbing in the area which
the screws could penetrate - risk of
injury and damage.^Drill pilot holes:
–
1/8(3mm)for5x60mmwood
screws
–
1/16(2mm)for4x15mmwood
screws
^Tightly secure the anti-tip brackets in
the niche.
Be certain that the screws penetrate
through the flooring and into the wall
plate a minimum of
3/4 (19 mm).

							Securing an alternative anti-tip
device
If the anti-tip brackets cannot be
attached securely, an alternative
anti-tip device can be used.
Ensure that there is no give between
the appliance and the anti-tip device.
If possible, always screw the
wooden beam to existing studs.
^
Cut a wooden beam
(cross section min. 29 ½ x 39
3/8
[75 cm x 100 cm]) to the required
length.
The length is equal to the width of the
installation niche.
–
If the installation niche is deeper than
the appliance, select a beam with a
larger cross section, or attach two
beams.–The beam must cover the appliance
by at least 2 (50.8 mm).
^Mark the installation height (lower
edge of the beam) on the rear wall of
the niche.
^Select screws according to the
thickness of the wooden beam.
Example: 3 ½ screw for 2x4 beam.
^Determine the number of screws
based on the cavity width, to ensure
that the beam will be attached
securely.
^Locate wall studs near the rear wall
of the cavity and mark drill holes in
the beam.
^Pre-drill the wooden beam.
^Attach the wooden beam to the rear
wall of the niche.
If a side-by-side installation is
desired, connect the two appliances
together. See the Installation Manual
included with the Merging Kit.
Now prepare the water connection from
the appliance to the main supply line
(see Plumbing).

designed for the following total
thicknesses of custom doors:
–
3/4 (19 mm)
–1
1/2 (38 mm)
Be sure to take into account the
possible differing thicknesses of the
custom door that is to be fitted
subsequently.
The height-adjustable feet at the front
and rear can all be adjusted from the
front.
–
Front: with an open-ended wrench
½ (SW 13).
The feet can be adjusted from the
top and bottomf.
–
Rear: with a
5/16 (8 mm) hex nut
driver via flexible shaftg.A mark is located on the appliance
base and is used as a standard gauge
for height adjustment. When adjusting
the height, align this mark at 1
1/4
(32 mm) above the floor.
^Place a marking-out level over the
installation aidseon the door.
^Unscrew the height-adjustable feet
until the mark on the base has
reached the indicated guide
dimension 1
1/4 (32 mm).
It is very important to comply with
