Only special,
*Available from Miele’s Professional Customer Service Department. Please see back page for more information.
Do not use other types of salt, e.g. table salt, agricultural or gritting salt. These could contain components which are insoluble in water and could damage the water softener. If in doubt, consult Miele’s Professional Department.
The salt reservoir holds approx. 2.5 kg of salt.
,Inadvertently filling the salt reservoir with detergent will damage the water softener.
Before filling, make sure that you are using reactivation salt.
^Remove the bottom basket from the machine.
^Unscrew the salt reservoir cap.
Before filling the salt reservoir with reactivation salt for the first time fill it with approx. 2.5 liters of water.
^Place the funnel provided in place.
^Carefully fill the reservoir with salt. Displaced water will run out as it is being filled.
^Wipe any residual salt off the screw threads on the socket.
^Screw the cap on firmly.
^Immediately after this step: Run the "Rinse" program to remove any traces of salt from the cabinet.
Note: There may be a delay before the "Rinse" program starts due to the reactivation of the water softener.
