Adding reactivation salt
,
Only put reactivation salt in the
salt dispenser. Inadvertently filling
the salt reservoir with cleaning agent
will damage the water softener.
Before filling the salt reservoir make
sure that you have selected
reactivation salt to put in it!
,
Please only use special coarse
grained reactivation salt with
granules of approx. 1-4 mm. Do not
use other types of salt, e.g. table
salt, agricultural or gritting salt.
These could contain components
which are insoluble in water which
could result in damage to the water
softener. If in doubt consult the Miele
Professional Department.
