Before using the appliance for
the first time, you require:
–
Approx. 2 litres of water,
–
Approx. 2 kg dishwasher salt,
–
Domestic dishwasher detergent,
–
Rinse aid formulated for domestic
dishwashers.
Every dishwasher is tested at the
factory.
There will be residual water in the
appliance from this test. It is not an
indication that it has been used
previously.
Filling the salt reservoir
If you use combination products
which have salt in them, such as "3
in 1" or "4 in 1" products in your
dishwasher, you should still add salt
in order to achieve optimum results
and to ensure that the water softener
continues to function correctly.
If the water in your area is very soft
and constantly lower than
0.7 mmol/l (4 °d) you do not need
to add salt.
The water softener must, however,
still be programmed to correspond
to the water hardness level in your
area.
Important: Before filling the salt
reservoir with dishwasher salt for the
first time, you must fill it with
approx. 2 litre of water to enable the
salt to dissolve. Once the
dishwasher has been used, there is
always sufficient water in the
reservoir.
,
Inadvertently filling the salt
reservoir with powder or liquid
dishwasher detergent will damage
the water softener.
,
Miele recommends using
specially designed dishwasher salt
to maximize the performance of your
dishwasher and to prevent build-up
of calcium and limescale in the
dishwasher cabinet, especially if you
live in hard water area.
Dishwasher salt can be purchased
online at www.miele.com.au
(depending on country) or via the
Miele Spare Parts Department.
