Miele G 886 manual Bypassing the Salt indicator

Before using for the first time

Salt indicator

When the salt reservoir is empty, the “Salt-PC” indicator will light, indicating that it should be refilled with reactiva- tion salt.

After the reservoir has been filled, the water softener is automatically reacti- vated the next time the dishwasher is started. The “Softener” indicator will light during this process.

Note:

If your water is soft (below 8 gr/gal) the salt reservoir should not be filled with salt. The indicator will remain lit and should be disregarded or deactivated.

The “Salt-PC” indicator has also been designed so that future program up- dates can be entered into the dish- washer. See the “After Sales Service”.

Bypassing the Salt indicator

To bypass the salt indicator, you will need a screwdriver and needle nose pliers.

^Remove the salt reservoir cap.

Looking into the salt reservoir, you will see the top of the float chamber on the right hand side b.

^Using a screwdriver, carefully pivot the float chamber towards the center of the reservoir.

^Using needle nose pliers, pull off the cap c from the float chamber and remove the float d.

^Replace the float chamber cap, push the chamber back into its upright po- sition, and replace the salt reservoir cap. The indicator should now re- main off.
