Ralph, congratulations on landing another Miele. It sounds like an extremely nice one. Plates loaded like that, front to back, reminds me of Spin-tube dishwashers.

Thanks Bob! I think it will blend into the new kitchen nicely. My existing Miele would have looked fine, but since the cook top and oven are ultra high end, I might as well have a compatible Miele model in there too. Plus, I really like the readout that shows where it's at in the cycle and how much time remains.
I'm going to hang onto my current machine. It has been a stellar performer for the past five years, and even longer than that if you add in wherever it lived before it landed at the ReStore. It will be my back-up if it ever becomes necessary.
I guess this means my search for a vintage KA version of an UltraWash machine to keep as a back-up is on indefinite hold.

I'm verry sorry
Those are the correct numbers but I lost the instructions on how to get an estimated production time :/ I saved them in a folder with some other appliance stuff but can't find them...
It was a list of which numbers ran in which timeframe (so not exact but pretty ok).
Only way to know for sure now (but probably on the day exact) would be to call Miele and ask if they can help out. They usually do so in a matter of seconds.
Really sorry I caused you hazzle and can't deliver now. Hope it wasn't to much of a bother...

Henrik, no worries. I'm OK with knowing it's newer than the one I have now.
It's quieter in at least one aspect. My current machine makes a loud "bzzzzt" sound when switching from one function to another, like from fill to wash, or from wash to drain. The G 5605 just makes a barely audible click.

Parts Question
One thing I've discovered is the brackets that accept the screws to attach the kick plate have been either bent or broken. Probably by sloppy removal and/or transport to the ReStore. They appear to be made of pot metal or something equally peculiar for such an application.
Would replacement brackets be available or do I need to harvest the ones from my older Miele, assuming they're the same? I still have to determine how to extract the portions that remained on the machine and how the replacements would be installed.
Any advice would be appreciated. I'd like to install this machine at the new house sooner rather than later as it's taking up space here, but I know I'll have to tilt it back in order to get at the remains of the brackets and to install the new ones.

Hey Ralph
When I uninstalled my 2000 series, I broke one because I didn’t take the kick panel off before trying to move it. From memory it was about $20aud from Miele for a replacement.
They should be able to easily sell you a set
Cheers

Thanks Nathan.
I'll check with a local Miele authorized parts dealer for those two brackets. I hope they come with instructions on how to remove what's left of the old ones if I don't find any obvious way to do it when I take a look underneath the machine.

I did some more research and found that the toothy brackets are adjustable and have tabs near the mounting holes that facilitate sliding them inward or outward to make the kick plate flush with adjacent cabinetry. I'll see if that's the case on my machine.
Also, I don't see any installation brackets to secure the whole machine in its opening. On my older Miele, screws went through holes on either side of the machine near the top. This newer model has two holes in the frame that seem to indicate a more standard method of securing the machine with screws into the underside of the counter. Are screws through these holes all that's necessary?

Hey Ralph
You’re right on the toothed slides. They slip into those holes and move back and forth. In theory you could just push the broken off part into the machine, otherwise use a pair of pliers and pull it out.
Mine have always just been screwed in via the 4 screw holes on the left and right hand sides of the door. Once it’s adjusted properly in the opening just screw it in.
The installation pictogram should be downloadable from Miele.

Thanks again Nathan.
I'll do some checking during this upcoming week to find a source for the mounting brackets. I've found the kick plate (which I don't need) on line, but not the brackets.
Good to know that securing the machine in its enclosure is accomplished the same way as with my current machine.

Update
The machine has been installed in the new house. I took the kick plate off the Miele in our old kitchen and harvested the brackets from it. At the new house, when I pushed the remnants of the old brackets further in, they hit something and now I can't get at them anymore from the front to pull them out instead.
I see some screws along the bottom of the machine but don't know if those will allow me access to where the broken sections of teeth are. I really don't want to have to pull the machine out in order to extract the bracket pieces.
Are there instructions on how to do this anywhere on line? I haven't found much on line that even mentions the brackets.
