Hello everyone,
we want to replace our Faktum kitchen with a Metod and probably have a dishwasher problem. We have a Miele model G 1290SCI with front control panel, not that old (about 4 years or so) and fully functional. Two possible problems I see:
1. - Due to the new 8 cm plinth height, I suspect that the door panel will hit the dishwasher housing (at the bottom) when fully opened. Measuring and making a cardboard mockup make me think that this probably won't work. There is potential for measurement inaccuracies... The Miele installation instructions provide no information regarding minimum plinth height – Ikea itself is no help. Does anyone have a comparable model and can tell me if this works?
2. - I still lack an idea about what size to order the Metod panel for the dishwasher door. The old Faktum with 57 cm fits perfectly, the new 60 cm ones are too small. So some tinkering and cutting is needed. If I now join two panels, the material is about 2 mm thicker at the joint. Is it better to account for the thickening at the top or bottom – especially regarding the actually simple Miele mounting system for the panels. Visually it looks better at the top, but I fear a conflict with mounting to the machine.
Thanks for the ideas and support!
Regards
