Before using the appliance for
the first time, you require:
– approx. 2 litres of water,
– approx. 2 kg of dishwasher salt,
– domestic dishwasher detergent,
– rinse aid formulated for domestic
dishwashers.
Every dishwasher is tested at the
factory.
There will be residual water in the
appliance from this test. It is not an
indication that it has been used
previously.
Filling the salt reservoir
If the water in your area is very soft
and constantly
lower than
0.7 mmol/l (4 °d)
, you do not need
to add salt.
The water softener must, however,
still be programmed to correspond
to the water hardness level in your
area. Salt should only be
replenished when the salt indicator
light comes on. In areas with very
soft water this could be after a long
period of time.
Important! Before filling the salt
reservoir with dishwasher salt for the
first time
, you must fill it with
approx. 2 litres of water to enable
the salt to dissolve. Once the
dishwasher has been used, there is
always sufficient water in the
reservoir.
,
Inadvertently filling the salt
reservoir with powder or liquid
dishwasher detergent will damage
the water softener.
,
Miele recommends using
specially designed dishwasher salt
to maximize the performance of your
dishwasher and to prevent a
build-up of calcium and limescale in
the dishwasher cabinet, especially if
you live in a hard water area.
Dishwasher salt can be purchased
online at www.miele-shop.com
(depending on country) or directly
from Miele. Do not use other salts
such as cooking salt, agricultural
grade or gritting salt. These may
contain insoluble additives which
can impair the functioning of the
water softener.
