Miele G 865 Water softener Not available in US models, Setting the water hardness level

Water softener (Not available in US models.)

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.

Note:

If the water hardness in your area is under 7 gr/gal, it is not necessary to re- activate the softener with salt.

To avoid the build up of calcium de- posits on dishes, cutlery, and in the dishwasher, the water should be soft- ened if it is harder than 7 gr/gal.

The dishwasher is factory set for a hard- ness level of 4 - 14 gr/gal. If your water is harder or softer, this 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.

Setting the water hardness level.

There are six settings on the selector, lo- cated on the right side of the wash cabinet:

Using a screwdriver, adjust the water hardness level by turning the selec- tor switch to the appropriate setting.
