Miele G 7855 manual Water softener

Water softener

The water needs to be softened to avoid calcium deposits building up on utensils and in the machine itself.

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

1.correctly programmed and

2.the salt reservoir must be filled.

If the water hardness level is below 4 °d - German scale (0.7 mmol/l), the reservoir does not need to be filled with reactivation salt.

The machine is set at the factory for a water hardness level of 19 °d (3.4 mmol/l).

If the water supply is harder or softer than this (including below 4 °d or 0.7 mmol/l), the factory setting will need to be changed following the instructions in Setting the water softener. See chart on the next page for settings.

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

For fluctuating levels e.g. 8 - 17 °d (1.4

-3.1 mmol/l) set the water softener to the highest setting. In this example to 17 °d (3.1 mmol/l).

Important

The built-in water softener has settings from 1 °d - 60 °d (0.2 - 10.8 mmol/l).

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