Miele G 879 SCVI installation instructions Bypassing the Salt indicator lamp

Water Softener

Salt indicator.

When the salt reservoir is empty, the

“8 k” indicator lamp will light, notif- ying you that the reservoir should be re- filled with reactivation salt.

Once filled, the dishwasher will automati- cally reactivate the softener when necessary. The “8k” indicator lamp will light up whenever the reactivation process is being performed.

Note:

If the water used is very soft (below 150 ppm (mg/l)), further softening is not re- quired and the “8 k” indicator lamp will remain lit. It can be disre- garded or bypassed using the follow- ing procedure.

The “8 k” button has also been de- signed for future programme updates (PC). See the “After Sales Service” sec- tion for further details.

Bypassing the Salt indicator lamp.

In order to bypass the salt indicator lamp, you will need a screwdriver and needle nose pliers.

Remove ONLY the salt reservoir cap.

Looking into the salt reservoir, you will see the top of the float chamber on the right hand side b.

Using a screwdriver, carefully pivot the float chamber towards the center of the reservoir.

Using the needle nose pliers, first pull the cap c off of the float cham- ber, then remove the float d.

Replace the float chamber cap, push the chamber back into its up- right position, and replace the salt reservoir cap. The indicator lamp will now remain off.
