Miele G 7835, Operating Instructions Manual

Page: 12 / 52

Before using the machine for the first
time, the water softener should be
programmed. The water needs to be
softened to avoid calcium deposit
buildup on the items being cleaned and
in the machine itself.
To ensure a steady supply of soft water:
1. Make sure the water softener is
programmed correctly.
2. The salt reservoir must be filled with
reactivation salt.
– If the water hardness is below 70
ppm (4 gr/gal) the reservoir does not
need to be filled. Once the machine
has been set accordingly the
reactivation will no longer occur and
the salt refill warning will not appear.
The machine is factory set to a water
hardness level of 340 ppm (19 gr/gal).
Your local water authority will advise
you of the water hardness in your area.
For fluctuating levels (e.g. 140 to
310 ppm) set the water softener to the
highest setting (in this example to 310
ppm).
Important: The built-in water softener
has settings from 18 ppm to
1080 ppm.
For future servicing it is useful to make
a note of your water hardness level.
