Miele Dishwasher and Oven Installed with Some Help

 It was now December 18 of 1998 and the Miele dishwasher and oven would be installed.

Pieter did all the prep work for the connections and also closed an enormous hole in the wall that we uncovered behind the previous oven.

One often wonders how those workers handle things—like the Flinstones whacking a hole in the wall?

And thinking we will never find out?!

They are IN by 5:19 PM.

Our dear friend Paul Kellam had two of his guys help Pieter with getting the dishwasher and oven built in.

Yes, Miele is the Cadillac of appliances—pricy but if you talk about quality, longevity and eco friendly, energy saving—Immer Besser (forever better).

There are many good reasons for choosing Miele. Here are just six of them. ←click link

Do you have any Miele appliance?

Whirlpool Dishwasher versus Miele

 Well, when Pieter took out the Whirlpool dishwasher I was quite shocked that it had NO sides but only insulation material—that was IT!

That's all... NO WONDER they are so noisy!

That's the Miele with a beautiful outside...

Perfection—built in Germany.

One learns so much from comparing the two brands of appliance!

Sure there also is a price difference but you get a nice Eco Friendly piece of appliance and great for saving energy!

Our new Miele 24” Built–In Wall Cabinet Hood by husband Pieter

 Okay, on December 9, 1998 Pieter started taking out the old Whirlpool hood and now preparing to build in the new Miele 24" Built–In Wall Cabinet Hood.

A very sleek model...

As Pieter states in the beginning—still a lot of headache for getting it built in...

But one day later, he used boxes as a support to prop up this rather heavy piece of appliance.

The shipping weight is 12.5 kg or 27.6 lbs.

The exhaust ring was too wide so Pieter solved that by placing a wooden ring inside.

Later he had to take that wooden ring out again and use one from foam because this Miele comes a bit more to the front with its exhaust pipe.

On the 15th it is all DONE!

I was done cleaning the kitchen a little past midnight and used the video for showing that to Mom & Dad...

Video shows summer time!

My Rado watch shows correct winter time...

Light shuts off when pushed inside.

Such a sleek model!

Pieter did an excellent job making it perfectly flush!

Stainless steel filters that can be taken out to place inside dishwasher

Happy with this mega task being done and what a perfect appliance!

Indeed top quality made in Germany and a big help in saving energy.

Stay tuned for more...
