Water Softener

If the water hardness in your area is under 150 ppm (mg/l) you should not activate the built-in water softener with salt. This could lead to problems including cloudy glassware.

The water hardness in your area can be obtained from your local water company or by using a test kit that can be purchased from the Miele Parts Department (part no. 0014619).

If your water hardness is above

150 ppm (mg/l), the water should be softened to avoid the build up of calcium deposits on dishes, cutlery and in the dishwasher.

The dishwasher is factory set for a hard- ness level of 20 - 70 ppm (mg/l). If your water is harder or softer, the 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.

Where the water hardness fluctuates (e.g. 140 - 310 ppm (mg/l)) always set the machine to the lower value

(140 ppm (mg/l) in this example).
