Miele G 7783 CD operating instructions Reactivating the water softener, Filling the salt container

Reactivating the water softener

When the k indicator light on the left hand side of the control panel comes on during a programme the built-in water softener is depleted and cannot supply any more softened water. It must therefore be reactivated with dish- washer salt as soon as the pro- gramme has finished.

If this cannot be done immediately, and further batches have been washed, then the reactivation process must be carried out twice in succession.

Only use special course grained dish- washer salt (granule size approx. 1-4 mm), for reactivation, as other salts may contain insoluble impurities or ad- ditives which can impair the functioning of the softener.

The salt container holds approx. 2 kg salt.

Important

If the only reactivation salt available is fine grain, please consult your Miele service representative.

Reactivation salt with granules larger than 4 mm cannot be used.

Never fill the salt reservoir with dish- washer cleaning agent

this can lead to

–damage to the water softener and

–blockage of the salt container filter insert, resulting in a build up

of pressure in the salt reservoir. The irritant alkali solution could be a hazard and personal injury could be caused when the salt container is removed.

Make sure that you have picked up the right packet of dishwasher salt before filling the salt container.

Filling the salt container

Unscrew the filter insert from the salt container and remove.

Fill the salt container with granular dishwasher salt and screw the filter insert back in place.
