Miele G 7882, Operating Instructions Manual

Page: 15 / 68

The water needs to be softened to
avoid calcium deposits building up on
instruments and utensils and in the ma-
chine itself.
To ensure a steady supply of soft water
the water softener unit must always be:
1. correctly set (programmed) and
2. the salt reservoir must be filled.
(If the water hardness level is below
0.7 mmol/l (4 °d - German scale) the
reservoir does not need to be filled
with reactivation salt.)
The machine is set at the factory for a
water hardness level of 3.4 mmol/l
(19 °d).
If the water supply is harder or softer
than this (including below 0.7 mmol/l
or 4 °d) the factory setting will need
to be changed following the instruc-
tions in "Setting the water softener".
See chart on the next page for set-
tings.
Your local water authority will advise
you on the water hardness in your area.
For fluctuating levels (e.g. 1.4 - 3.1
mmol/l or 8 - 17 °d) set the water soft-
ener to the highest setting (in this ex-
ample to 3.1 mmol/l or 17 °d).
Important
The built-in water softener has settings
from 0.2 - 10.8 mmol/l or 1 °d - 60 °d.
