Water softener

Filling the salt reservoir

Please only use special coarse grained reactivation salt with granules of approx. 1-4 mm. Do not use other types of salt, e.g. table salt, agricultural or gritting salt. These could contain components which are insoluble in wa- ter which could result in damage to the water softener. If in doubt consult your Miele Professional Department.

The salt reservoir holds approx. 2.5 kg of salt.

,Inadvertently filling the salt reservoir with cleaning agent will damage the water softener.

Before filling the salt reservoir make sure that you have picked up the right packet of reactivation salt.

^Remove the bottom basket from the machine.

^Unscrew the salt reservoir cap.

Before filling the salt reservoir with reactivation salt for the first time, fill it with approx. 2.5 litres of water.

^Place the funnel provided in place.

^Fill carefully with salt. As it is filled, displaced water will run out).

^Wipe any residual salt off the screw threads on the socket.

^Screw the cap on firmly.

^Immediately after this: Run the PRE-RINSE programme D to remove any traces of salt from the cabinet.

Important: If after starting the PRE-RINSE programme D the machine does not start for a few minutes this is not a fault. The water softener is being reactivated.
