Before using the appliance for
the first time you require:
– Approx. 2 litres of water,
– Approx. 2 kg dishwasher salt*,
– Domestic dishwasher detergent*,
– Rinse aid*, formulated for domestic
dishwashers.
* In the UK, Miele branded products
are available from the Miele Spare
Parts Department or via the internet
on www.miele.co.uk.
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 you use combination products
which have salt in them, such as
"3 in 1" or "4 in 1" products in your
dishwasher, you should still add salt
in order to achieve optimum results.
Selecting the "Combi tabs" option,
reduces salt consumption to
between
1
/
3
and
1
/
4
of the normal
amount.
If the water in your area is very soft
and constantly
lower than
0.7 mmol/l (4 °d)
you should still
add salt before using the
dishwasher for the first time.
The water softener must, 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. Make sure you
have picked up the correct packet of
dishwasher salt before filling the salt
reservoir!
,
Only use special coarse grained
dishwasher salt for reactivation. 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.
