Miele HG01 operating instructions Filling the salt reservoir

Before using for the first time

Filling the salt reservoir

If your water hardness level is greater than 8 gr/gal, the salt reservoir should be filled before the first use and when the "Salt" indicator lights.

Only use water softener salt (1 - 4 mm) grain size; other salts may contain insoluble additives which can impair the water softener.

,Inadvertently filling the salt reservoir with dishwashing detergent will damage the water softener.

To fill the salt reservoir:

^Remove the lower basket.

^Unscrew and remove the salt reservoir cap.

^Place the provided funnel over the salt reservoir.

Only before adding salt for the first time, fill the reservoir with approximately 2 quarts (2 l) of water.

^Carefully fill with salt, grain size of 1 - 4 mm. The salt reservoir holds approximately 4.5 lbs (2 kg) of salt. As it is filled, water will run out.

^Clean any excess salt from the threads of the reservoir opening.

^Screw the cap on firmly.

^If the dishwasher will not be used immediately, run the "Rinse & Hold" program. This will remove any traces of salt from inside the wash cabinet.
