Miele PG 8081i, Operating Instructions Manual

Page: 18 / 80

Before using the machine for
the first time, you require:
– approx. 1 kg dishwasher salt for
reactivation,
– approx. 110 ml rinse aid,
– Dishwasher detergent: see
"Operation".
Every dishwasher is tested at the
factory.
There will be residual water in the
machine from this test. It is not an
indication that it has been used
previously.
Filling the salt reservoir
In order to achieve good cleaning
results, the dishwasher needs to
operate with soft water. Hard water
results in the build-up of calcium
deposits on crockery and in the
dishwasher.
Mains water with a hardness level
higher than 0.7 mmol/l (4° d – German
scale) needs to be softened. This takes
place automatically in the integrated
water softener. The water softener must
be filled with dishwasher salt for
reactivation. The water softener is
suitable for a water hardness level of up
to 6.5 mmol/l (36 °d - German scale).
See "Settings menu, Water hardness
level" for information on programming
the water softener to the water
hardness level in your area.
If the water in your area is very soft
and constantly
lower than
0.7 mmol/l (4 °d - German scale) ,
you do not need to add dishwasher
salt. The water softener must,
however, still be programmed to
correspond to the water hardness
level in your area.
,
Do not fill the salt reservoir with
powder or liquid dishwasher
detergent. This will damage the
water softener. Make sure you have
picked up the correct packet of
dishwasher salt before filling the salt
reservoir!
,
Only use special coarse grained
dishwasher salt for reactivation, as
other salts may contain insoluble
additives which can impair the
functioning of the water softener.
