Filling the salt container

Reactivating
In order to achieve excellent cleaning results, the Commercial
Dishwasher needs to operate with soft water. Hard water results in
the build-up of calcium deposits on wash items and on the wash
cabinet walls.
Domestic water with a water hardness of 4 gpg (4°dH) must therefore
be softened. This occurs automatically in the integrated water
softener.
The water softener must be set to the exact hardness of the domestic
water.
Your local water authority can give you information about the exact
water hardness in your area.
It is useful to know your water hardness so that you can provide the
service technician with this information in the event of any
subsequent service calls. For this reason, please record the
hardness level of your domestic water here:
______________ gpg or °dH
The water softener must also be reactivated at regular intervals.
Special reactivation salt is required for this.
Damage to the water softener from detergent.
Dishwasher detergent will damage the softener assembly.
Do not fill the container for reactivation salt with dishwasher
detergent (including liquid detergent).
Damage caused by using unsuitable salts.
Some types of salt may contain insoluble components which can
cause the water softener to malfunction.
Use only special, coarse-grained reactivation salt or other pure
kitchen salt.
Suitable products are available from Miele Professional.
If the hardness of your water is constantly less than 4 gpg (= 4°dH),
no salt is required for the water softener.
However, you will still need to set the water hardness.
