Seeing that picture of that little clip and trying hard to remember when we installed our Miele back in the 90's.. I'm really thinking it had something to do with attaching it to the countertop somehow. Someones gotta know around here.
No idea. The metal part is shown in every installation manual but never used. Maybe send the picture to Miele and ask them...
The white rubber looking strip (about 6-7 inches long) next to the metal clip was also in the parts bag - no idea what that is for either. I have sent the pic to Miele.
nice machine Gary......very nice design inside....
that white strip looks to be like an edge guard you would slide over a sharp area, but where?.....
and willing to bet that metal piece gets mounted to the floor in the back, and the machine slides under it as an anti-tip device like they use on stoves...
oddly enough they use these too to prevent the machine from sliding out when installing in a mobile home...

Second Part
It certainly looks like that one extra item is a key of some kind.

Thanks Martin. I thought the white strip might be some kind of edge guard too but since it is only about 6" long I have no idea where it would go since the top, sides and back of the dishwasher are all covered. The sides of the dishwasher are screwed into the cabinetry so no chance of it tipping over.

From the German installation manual
The thing is used if you have no cabinet next to the dishwasher on one side.

Ok, that makes sense. Do the German instructions provide any clue as to what that white 6" rubber strip is used for?
Nope. It's not supplied with the Euro units.

Dont you just hate those pictures. Mine had 32 frames of pictures without word one. I didn't install my machine, but I did look at the pictures. I didn't understand anything, and when I tried to go through them I ended up with things attached to other things that they shouldn't have been. I know there's as place for pictures today, but honestly I would just rather have the words...even if I have to translate them. I guess I am not a very visual guy. Looks like you got the machine in the cabinetry just fine.
What model do you have and what cycles have you tried so far?

I like a combination of CLEAR pictures and words. And all the different symbols/pics used for 'do not touch', 'electrical hazard', etc. just annoy me....I spend more time trying to figure out what the picture means! Give me clear, precise, written English any day.
The model is G4225 SCU Futura Classic. The only cycle I have used so far is the Rinse and Hold which is 14 min. in length. I haven't had time to dirty any dishes

Here is the reply I received from Miele regarding the 2 unknown parts.
<span style="font-size: 11pt;">These 2 items are not required here in Canada. The metal piece on the right is used to secure the unit at the top but here in Canada, we mostly secure the unit with screws</span>
<span style="font-size: 11pt;">on each side. The silver part is also a cosmetic part use for the top corner which again is not required for our Canadian installation configuration. </span>

I got an email today from Miele. They are offering a discount on the extended warranty - 4 additional years for $210 (regularly $240) and 9 additional years for $510 (regularly $570) plus provincial tax of 13 percent. A $25 voucher would also be included for the Miele Boutique (eg. Miele dishwasher detergent, salt, vacuum bags, filters, accessories, etc.). The service call fee for a technicians visit is $199 plus parts and labour. The closet technician would be in Toronto - 3 hours away. So I'm wondering if I should buy the extended warranty? Is this dishwasher likely to have problems in the first 5 years?
So far I have tried every cycle but without using the turbo function (this is supposed to decrease the time for each cycle but also use more energy). All the dishes have come out spotless. Some water drops remain on plastic items even with opening the door right after the cycle finishes. It does take some getting used to loading but I think it holds just as much as my K/A did. It is very quiet and I do like having the cutlery tray.

Well if there's no "gotchas" in the additional 4 years and it includes all that driving time etc I'd get it. How many did you get with the original warranty?
The basic warranty is 1 year. I am going to call to make sure that this extended warranty includes driving up here to repair it if need be as well as how long I would have to wait to get it repaired.
