Miele G7859 manual Water softener

Water softener

To avoid the build-up of calcium de- posits on items being cleaned and in the machine the water needs to be soft- ened.

To ensure a steady supply of soft water the water softener unit must always be:

1.correctly set (programmed) and

2.the salt reservoir must be filled.

(If the water hardness level is below 70 mg/l (4°d) the water does not need to be softened.)

The machine is set at the factory for a water hardness level of 340 mg/l (19 °d).

If the water supply is harder or softer than this (including below 70 mg/l or 4°d) the factory setting will need to be changed following the instruc- tions in the section “Setting the water softener”. For settings, see chart on the next page.

Your local water authority will advise you on the water hardness in your area.

For fluctuating levels (e.g. 140 - 310 mg/l or 8 - 17°d) set the water softener to the highest setting (in this example to 310 mg/l or 17°d).

Important

The built-in water softener has settings from 20 mg/l to 1080 mg/l or 1°d - 60°d.

For future servicing it is useful to make a note of your water hardness level.
