I wanted to let you all know some important information regarding our new Generation 6000 launch and the old Generation 4000 Ovens/Coffee/Warming Drawers, bear with my long email! Please make sure all product in displays are red tagged and that sales teams know all Generation 4000 models with Miele can’t be ordered anymore (OVEN/COFFEE/WARMING DRAWERS ONLY!). As a reminder, display orders can be placed at any time and there are no freight charges involved. I am requesting that as soon as a piece is sold off please order a replacement so you don’t lose opportunities. As a reminder, the new products have the same dimensions as your current displays. All display orders are processed through me so as soon as you have requests ready with a PO number, please send them my way.
I have attached the transition sheets and model overview brochure for your reference in what Generation 6000 pieces replace Generation 4000 (there are 3 tabs in this excel file) – SHARE THIS WITH YOUR SALES TEAM. The ContourLine replaces the CLASSIC line and the PureLine replaces the EUROPA line. There are different options with ovens/coffee so please call me with any questions you may have and I will help you with the decisions. I will be stopping in over the next few weeks talking about features and benefits of new ovens as well as handing out catalogs for them to show clients until product is on the floor. Thank you for your patience with us as we make our transition.
Phase-in Generation 6000
We are pleased to announce that we are NOW starting to ship Generation 6000 appliances!!
Please be aware that we will have limited supply of some categories over the next few weeks. However, we are confident that we will be in good shape by end of July. If you have any quotes with product that needs to ship before end of July please let me know ASAP and I will see if I can get them moved to the front of the line.
Phase-out Generation 4000
Every confirmed order we have currently in our system for Generation 4000 will be fulfilled.
As of now, Generation 4000 items are no longer available via the dealer order sites. Therefore, if a package order for Generation 4000 cannot be filled in full, all appliances must be ordered from the Generation 6000 assortment. There is a banner on dealer order sites to inform dealers about that fact.
We are also proud to announce the release of our newly redesigned website, www.mieleusa.com, which launches TODAY. Designed with a new look and much easier navigation, the platform is updated with product pages containing information about our new built-in appliance product line, Generation 6000, as well as existing product data.
Please let me know if you have any questions or how I can be of further assistance during this transition!
