Filling the salt reservoir
If your water hardness level is greater
than 8 gr/gal, the salt reservoir should
be filled before the first use and when
the "Salt" indicator lights.
Only use water softener salt specially
formulated for dishwashers. Other salts
may contain insoluble additives which
can impair the water softener.
The proper salt can be purchased from
your Miele dealer or Miele’s Technical
Service Department.

Inadvertently filling the salt
reservoir with dishwashing deter-
gent will damage the water soft-
ener.
To fill the salt reservoir:
^
Remove the lower basket.
^
Unscrew and remove the salt reser-
voir cap located on the floor of the
wash cabinet.
^
Place the provided funnel over the
salt reservoir.
The salt reservoir must be filled with
2 quarts (2 l) of water before adding
salt for the first time. Water does not
have to be added with subsequent
refills.
^
Carefully fill with salt. The salt reser-
voir holds approximately 4.5 lbs
(2 kg) of salt. As it is filled, water will
run out.
^
Clean any excess salt from the
threads of the reservoir opening.
^
Screw the cap on firmly.
^
If the dishwasher will not be used im-
mediately, run the "Rinse & Hold" pro-
gram. This will remove any traces of
salt from inside the wash cabinet.
