Frequently Asked Questions - GDU 60651 MIELE

How to install the front panel of the GDU kit?

Place the panel at an angle under the control panel and insert it into the slots of the outer door sheet. Tighten the TORX T20 screws on both sides and cover the holes with the plastic covers.

How to adjust the height of the dishwasher in the niche?

Push the appliance back into the niche and adjust the height according to the mounting plan. For corner installation, first mount the fixing plate on the relevant side.

How to determine the height of the cover plate?

Measure the distance between the bottom edge of the adjacent cabinet door and that of the dishwasher (dimension X). The factory height is 605 mm for 60 cm models; subtract X to get the final height.

How to adjust the door springs?

Open the door to 45°: if it falls, tighten the springs (adjusting screw in the base, turn right); if it rises, loosen them (turn left). Use a TORX T20 screwdriver.

How to secure the dishwasher between two cabinets?

Open the door and screw the appliance on each side with the supplied screws (4x25 mm, TORX T20). Do not use a cordless screwdriver. Cover the holes with the plastic covers.

How to install the plinth?

Compress the springs and push back the brackets. Screw the plinth (cut lines facing up) and adjust to the base setback. Draw a line under the door, unscrew, shorten along the line or a cut line, then re-screw.

What to do if the plinth touches the door when opening?

Shorten the plinth in height. Follow the procedure: draw a line at the level of the door bottom edge, unscrew, cut along that line, then re-screw with the cut edge facing down.

Can a custom cover plate be used?

Yes, make it to the dimensions: height = 605 mm minus dimension X, width = 585 mm for 60 cm models. If the thickness exceeds 2 mm, remove the cardboard spacer.

How to convert an integrated dishwasher into a built-in?

Use the GDU panel kit (models 45/60-1 or 60/60-1) which includes a front panel, a plinth and brackets. Follow the assembly steps described in the manual.

Where to find spare parts for the GDU kit?

The parts (panel, plinth, brackets, screws, covers) are available from Miele or authorized dealers. Use the references indicated in the manual.

GB Installation instructions

These instructions describe all the steps necessary for fitting the GDU decor set.

They should be read in conjunction with the Dishwasher installation diagram which has detailed instructions on installation and fitting.

GDU decor set for building-under a dishwasher

By using a GDU decor set, an integrated (i) model dishwasher can be converted into a built-under (U) model dishwasher.

The GDU decor set consists of:

1. a front panel with inset decor panel,
2. a plinth facing with fixing brackets.

GDU 45/60-1 and GDU 60/60-1:

These decor sets are designed for use in kitchens with 720 mm high base units (lower edge of the worktop to the lower edge of the kitchen cabinet door).

GDU 65/65-1 (XXL dishwashers):

These decor sets are designed for use in kitchens with 770 mm high base units (lower edge of the worktop to the lower edge of the kitchen cabinet door).

The decor panel supplied with the GDU set can be replaced by a panel to match your kitchen cabinetry.

1. Fitting the protective cover plate and fascia panel

Fit the protective cover plate and fascia panel as described in the "Installation diagram for built-in dishwashers".

Make sure that you keep all dishwasher accessories and spacer strips that are not necessary for fitting the GDU decor set in a safe place for future use. These will be required if you want to convert the dishwasher back to an integrated model, e.g. if you buy a new kitchen.

2. Fitting the front panel

■ Push the front panel up at an angle under the fascia panel ① and then into the slots on the door front outer panel ②. Make sure that the top edge of the front panel slides up and fits neatly in place under the fascia panel. ■ Tighten the TORX T20 screws ③ located on either side of the door front outer panel. ■ Use the plastic stoppers supplied to blank off the openings in the fixing mechanism.

3. Aligning the dishwasher

Push the dishwasher into the recess and align it as described on the "Installation diagram for built-in dishwashers".

If you want to build the dishwasher into a corner you must first attach the fixing plate to the appropriate side of the dishwasher (see "Installation diagram for built-in dishwashers").

If you are using the decor panel supplied and the lower edge aligns with the lower edge of the neighbouring kitchen cabinets you can miss out steps 4 and 5 and continue from step 6.

4. Calculating the decor panel height

To calculate dimension "X".

■ Measure the distance from the bottom of the adjoining kitchen cabinet door to the lower edge of the dishwasher door.

Decor panel factory dimensions:

For 60 cm wide dishwashers: H 605 x W 585 mm

For 45 cm wide dishwashers: H 605 x W 435 mm

XXL dishwashers:

60 cm wide XXL models H 655 x W 585 mm

5. Replacing the front panel

Pull the dishwasher out of its recess enough to allow easy access to the front panel fixing screws on either side of the door.

Loosen the TORX T20 screws on either side of the door front outer panel, just until you are able to lower the front panel.

Unscrew and remove the decor strips (use a PZ No. 2 cross-head screwdriver).

Remove the decor strips, decor panel, filler card and polystyrene spacers.

Use masking tape along the cutting line to protect the panel and strips from damage during cutting. Use a cutting tool suitable for the material. If in doubt contact a qualified fitter.

When using the decor panel supplied:

Shorten the decor strips, decor panel, filler card and polystyrene spacers from the top by dimension X (as previously calculated).

When using a new decor panel:

If you are using a decor panel which matches your kitchen units, cut it to the following size:

60 cm wide dishwashers:

Height = 605 mm minus

Dimension X (as previously calculated)

Width = 585 mm

45 cm wide dishwashers:

Height = 605 mm minus

Dimension X (as previously calculated)

Width = 435 mm

XXL dishwashers:

60 cm wide XXL models:

Height = 655 mm minus

Dimension X (as previously calculated)

Width = 585 mm

If the new decor panel is thicker than 2 mm (max. 4 mm), remove the filler card from the front panel.

Shorten the decor strips, polystyrene spacers and if necessary, the filler card from the top by dimension X (as previously calculated).

For all the above cases:

Reassemble the front panel and fit to the dishwasher as described in step 2.

Push the dishwasher right back into its recess and make sure it is aligned correctly. Proceed to step 6.

6. Adjusting the door springs

The door springs are correctly adjusted when a half opened door (approx. 45° opening angle) remains in that position when released.

If the door drops down, the door springs need to be tightened.

If the door rises up the springs need to be loosened.

The adjusting screws are located on the front right-hand and front left-hand side of the dishwasher plinth.

- Adjust the door spring with a TORX T20 or a 1 x 5.5 mm screwdriver until it is correctly balanced: - turn clockwise to tighten - turn anti-clockwise to loosen.

7.Securing the dishwasher

Building-in between two kitchen units

To ensure stability, the dishwasher must be screwed to the adjoining kitchen units on either side after it has been positioned and aligned.

■ Open the dishwasher door.

- Secure the dishwasher to the kitchen units on the right and left hand side with the 4 x 25 screws supplied using a TORX T20 screwdriver.

Do not use a cordless screwdriver to secure the dishwasher to the adjoining units. Do not remove the plastic sleeves from the screws.

■ Plug the openings with the plastic stoppers supplied.

Building into a corner

If you are building the dishwasher into a corner you will only be able to secure the dishwasher to an adjoining unit on one side. The side which is against the wall must be secured to the worktop above it.

■ Open the dishwasher door.

The hole in the fixing plate must line up with the long hole in the protective cover plate under the worktop as shown.

Secure the dishwasher to the worktop from below with the 4 x 22 countersunk screws supplied using a TORX T20 screwdriver.

Secure the dishwasher to the adjoining kitchen unit on the other side with the 4 x 25 screws supplied using a TORX T20 screwdriver.

Do not use a cordless screwdriver to secure the dishwasher to the neighbouring units. Do not remove the plastic sleeves from the screws.

Plug the openings with the plastic stoppers supplied.

Ensure that the seal on the top edge of the dishwasher fits directly against the worktop. If this is not the case, adjust the feet a bit more.

8. Fitting a plinth facing

If the dishwasher is installed in a kitchen with a continuous kitchen plinth facing, the next step will not be necessary.

Follow the instructions given in the Dishwasher installation diagram for aligning an integrated dishwasher plinth fascia.

The plinth facing supplied will fit without modification when:

• the plinth recess is at its maximum depth of 100 mm, and
• the machine is set to its maximum height (feet fully extended to 6 cm).

If the machine height is lower than the maximum, and the plinth recess is less than 100 mm, the plinth facing will need to be trimmed to size (to ensure that the door and plinth facing do not touch when the door is opened). To calculate the required height of the plinth facing:

On either side, push the spring clips to the side and push the brackets right in.

If the feet are only slightly extended:

The fixing brackets face upwards.

If the feet are more fully extended:

The fixing brackets face downwards.

The plinth facing has three cutting lines.

Screw the plinth facing onto the brackets with the cutting lines towards the top (4x16 / TORX T20). Then pull the facing out evenly to align it with plinth facings on adjoining kitchen cabinets.

If you have pulled the plinth facing out too far, you must not attempt to push it back in. It will have to be unscrewed and taken off. The spring clips can then be pushed outwards and the brackets pushed back in. The facing can then be re-attached and adjusted again.

Carefully open the dishwasher door until the lower edge of the dishwasher door abuts the plinth facing (see illustration).

Using the front lower edge of the dishwasher door as a guide, draw a horizontal line across the plinth facing.

Unscrew the plinth facing.

To shorten the plinth facing:

Either trim along this line with a saw;

or

Cut along one of the cutting lines if it is close enough to the line you have drawn.

Score the cutting line along the plinth facing and then break off the excess.

Screw the plinth facing back onto the brackets, with the cutting line at the top.

If the door still does not open smoothly, the plinth facing may need further trimming.

Please refer to the Dishwasher installation diagram and the operating instructions before connecting the dishwasher to the electricity supply.

The fittings point upwards.
