Miele branded products are available
from the Miele Spare Parts
Department or via the internet at
www.miele-shop.com.
Before using the appliance for
the first time you require:
– Approx. 1 kg 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 you use combination products
which have salt in them in your
dishwasher, such as "3 in 1" or
"4 in 1" products, you should still
add salt in order to achieve optimum
results and to ensure that the water
softener continues to function.
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 - German scale)
you do not need to add dishwasher
salt. However, the water softener
must still be programmed to
correspond to the water hardness
level in your area.
,
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.
