Reactivating the water softener
Position the salt container as follows:
Remove the bottom basket from the machine.
Unscrew the plastic cap in the base of the wash cabinet.
Place the salt container on the reacti- vation socket and screw firmly into place.
Switch on the machine
Open the stopcocks if previously closed. Close the door.
Press
Press the k touch pad. Press the "Start" h touch pad.
The reactivation programme proceeds automatically and finishes when the indi- cator light k at the left hand side of the control panel and the "Start" indicator light h have gone out.
Then:
Switch off the machine.
Unscrew the salt container carefully, so that any water pressure that has built up can be released. Do not use force. If you cannot uncrew the salt container by hand, contact the Miele Service department.
Screw the plastic lid back on the socket.
Reposition bottom basket.
Rinse the salt container and filter in- sert thoroughly.
Turn off the stopcocks if the machine is not to be used again for some time.
Important
The water pressure (flow pressure at the take off point) must be at least 2.5 bar. If it less than this see "Programming spe- cial functions".
If the flow pressure is below 2.5 bar, or if it fluctuates, the water softener can- not be reactivated in the normal way.
After reactivation, salt remains may still be found in the salt container.
To use up the salt remains and to wash out the water softener, the "reactivate softener" programme must be switched on again.
