Miele G665 Owners Manual

							Trimming the toekick
The rear of the toekick has two cutting
lines.
Screw the toekick onto the installed
brackets, with the cutting lines to-
wards the top, and pull out evenly
until it aligns with the toekick of the
adjoining cabinets.
The toekick cannot be pushed
back in. It must be unscrewed, so
that the tension on the spring
clips can be released. The
brackets can then be pushed in,
and the toekick re-attached.
Carefully open the dishwasher door
until it hits the toekick.
Using the front lower edge of the
door panel as a guide, draw a line
across the toekick.
Unscrew and remove the toekick.
If one of the cutting lines is close to
the line just drawn, score the front of
the toekick, and snap off the excess,
otherwise, trim the toekick along the
line using a saw.
Screw the toekick back onto the
brackets, with 
the cut edge at the
bottom.
If the dishwasher door does not open
completely, the toekick may need fur-
ther trimming.

							Electrical connection
It is the responsibility and obligation
of the customer to ensure that the
electrical and plumbing installation
is carried out by a qualified installer
in compliance with national and
local codes and ordinances. 
Disconnect the appliance from the
power supply before servicing the ma-
chine by pulling the plug or turning off
the circuit breaker. 
Specifications.
Power Supply: 120 VAC, 60 Hz
Rated Load: 12.5 A / 1500 W 
Circuit breaker:15 AMPS
The unit is equipped with a 5 ft (1.5 m)
power supply cord for connection to a
120 V, 15 AMP grounded receptacle.
Using an outlet:
It is recommended that the power
outlet for the appliance be installed
in a cabinet or on a wall adjacent to
the undercounter space in which the
appliance itself will be located. An
opening through the partition be-
tween the compartments of 1 1/2 
(3 to 4 cm) can be made to allow the
plug to pass through.
Make certain that there are no rough
edges that could damage the power
cord. If metal cabinets are used,
place the supplied rubber grommet
around the edge of the opening be-
fore passing the cable through.
Exercise care when pulling the dish-
washer in or out, so as not to dam-
age the power cord or hoses.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS.
THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE
GROUNDED.
In the event of a malfunction or break-
down, grounding will reduce the risk of
electric shock by providing a path of
least resistance for the electric current.
This appliance is equipped with a cord
having an equipment grounding con-
ductor and a grounding plug. The plug
must be plugged into an appropriate
outlet that is installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and or-
dinances.
WARNING - Improper connection
of the equipment grounding con-
ductor can result in the risk of
electric shock. Check with a quali-
fied electrician or service repre-
sentative if you are in doubt as to
whether the appliance is properly
grounded. Do not modify the plug
provided with the appliance; if it
will not fit the outlet, have a
proper outlet installed by a quali-
fied electrician.

							Permanent Connection (Hard Wiring).
For hard wiring, the power cord must
be disconnected from the terminal box
located at the lower left front of the dish-
washer, behind the toekick and service
panel. Pass the permanent power sup-
ply cable through the strain relief and
secure it to the terminal box.
Connect:
L1   (Black) to L on terminal block
N (White) to N on terminal block
GRND To ground connector
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be connected
to a grounded metal, permanent 
wiring system, or an equipment-
grounding conductor must be run
with the circuit conductors and con-
nected to the equipment grounding
terminal or lead on the appliance.
Use copper conductors only.
Warning.
Hardwiring the dishwasher
should only be done if required
by local electrical codes, and
then in a manner consistent with
those codes.  Do not cut the plug
off the power supply cord and
connect it directly to the house
wiring.

							Plumbing 
It is the responsibility and obligation
of the customer to ensure that the
electrical and plumbing installation
is carried out by a qualified installer
in compliance with national and
local codes and ordinances. 
To help protect your home, all dish-
washers that carry the following blue
and white sticker are designed to shut
off the water and drain the wash cham-
ber in the rare event of an internal
water valve failure.
In order for this function to be active,
the door must be tightly shut, a tem-
perature must be selected, and the
program selector knob must be in
the “End” position. 
Hot water supply specifications:
Recommended temperature:  120°F
(49°C) 
Maximum temperature: 140°F (60°C) 
Water pressure: 14.5 - 145 psi 
(1 - 10 bar)
An air gap is built into the water inlet
system to prevent potable water from
mixing with waste water.Hot water connection.
New plumbing:
The water inlet hose comes equipped
with a 3/4 female hose thread connec-
tor. This can be directly connected to a
shut off valve with 3/4 male hose
thread ends. 
It is preferable that the hose assembly
be installed vertically so the hose
exits from the bottom of the valve box. 
If this is not possible, it can be installed
horizontally as shown, provided the hose
exit remains beneath the main body of
the box (see illustration). (The “lightning
bolt” should be above the “arrow” when
the installation is complete).The valve
box should also be installed so that it is
at least 8 (24 cm) above the floor (or
base of the cabinet), and so the excess
coiled hose will remain lower than the
box at all points.
A 2 x 4 (60 x 115 mm) cutout in either
the side or bottom of the cabinet adjoin-
ing the dishwasher is necessary if the
valve box needs to be passed through.

							Existing plumbing:
If the standard 3/8 copper plumbing
for a dishwasher already exists with a
compression fitting and valve as pic-
tured:
Cut the 3/8 copper tubing after the
valve.
Install the 3/8 compression to 3/4
MHT (Male Hose Thread) adapter
(supplied with the machine), as illus-
trated.
Connect the inlet hose to the existing
valve/adapter assembly.
Electrical wiring and components
should not come into contact with
any plumbing fixtures or hoses.
Do not, under any circumstances,
cut the intake hose. If the hose is
cut, the dishwasher will not work,
you will have a water leak and
you could be injured. If the hose
is too long, coil it neatly and
place it behind the machine.

							Drain system specifications:
The machine comes equipped with:
– A 5 ft. long (1.5 m) flexible drain
hose with an internal diameter of 7/8
(22 mm).
– A built-in swivel connector which
allows the drain hose to be routed in
any direction.
– A built in non-return valve on the dis-
charge side to prevent waste water
from flowing back into the dish-
washer. 
– A built-in odor trap on the discharge
side to prevent odors from entering
the kitchen.
Maximum drain height: 3 ft (1 m)
Maximum drain hose length: 12 ft
(3.5 m)
 Do not shorten the drain hose.
Electrical wiring and components
should not come into contact with
any plumbing fixtures or hoses.
IMPORTANT:
The dishwasher should be con-
nected directly to the drain line.Drain connection:
D = 24 (60 cm) (nominal)
Connect the supplied drain hose to the
drain pipe of the kitchen sink either:
A - above the trap using the clamp pro-
vided, or
B - to the dishwasher connector of the
garbage disposal.
When connecting the drain hose to
the garbage disposal, make sure to
remove the knockout from the con-
nection nipple. (See disposal manu-
facturers instructions for this proce-
dure.)
A sample of a correct water and drain
installation of a dishwasher is shown.
A hose that attaches to a sink spray
can burst if it is installed on the
same water line as the dishwasher. 
If your sink has one, it is recom-
mended that the hose be discon-
nected and the hole plugged.

							Venting the drainage system
Only if the dishwasher drain hose is
connected to a floor drain or to a
drain pipe that is below the level of
the lower baskets wheels, the drain
must be vented; otherwise the water in-
side of the dishwasher may siphon out
during the course of a wash program.
Vent the drain:
Open the dishwasher door.
Cut off the vent cap located at the
right rear of the dishwasher, behind
the filters, as illustratedAdditional note.
Since all Miele dishwashers are
equipped with an odor trap and non-re-
turn valve, the drain hose can be con-
nected directly to the drain pipe as illus-
trated.
If plumbing codes require an external
air gap on the discharge side of the
dishwasher, the following requirements
must be met:
– No part of the drain hose should be
higher than 39 (1 m).
– If installed horizontally, the drain
hose can be up to 12 ft. (3.5 m) long.
If the drain hose is angled upwards
in any way, it cannot be longer than
5 ft. (1.5 m).
– The drain connection should be
made as close as possible to the
dishwasher.
– The internal diameter (7/8 or 22 mm)
of the drain hose should not be re-
duced beyond 3/4 at any point.
