Water softener
The water softener must be set to corre- spond to the water hardness in your area. This can be obtained from your local water company, or by using a test kit that can be purchased from the Miele Parts Department.
To avoid the build up of calcium de- posits on dishes, cutlery, and in the dishwasher, if the water hardness is above 4 gr/gal, the water should be softened.
The dishwasher is factory set for a hard- ness level of 22 gr/gal. If your water is harder or softer, the setting will need to be adjusted.
To ensure a steady supply of soft- ened water, the built in water sof- tener must be:
1.Correctly set.
2.Reactivated with salt when depleted.
Where the water hardness fluctuates (e.g. 8 - 17 gr/gal) always set the ma- chine to the higher value (17 gr/gal in this example).
