Filling the salt reservoir
Please only use special coarse grained
reactivation salt with granules of
approx. 1-4 mm. Do not use other types
of salt, e.g. table salt, agricultural or
gritting salt. These could contain
components which are insoluble in
water which could result in damage to
the water softener. If in doubt consult
your Miele Professional Department.
The salt reservoir holds approx. 2.5 kg
of salt.
,
Inadvertently filling the salt
reservoir with cleaning agent will
damage the water softener.
Before filling the salt reservoir make
sure that you have picked up the
right packet of reactivation salt.
^ Remove the bottom basket from the
machine.
^ Unscrew the salt reservoir cap.
Before filling the salt reservoir with
reactivation salt for the first time fill it
with approx. 2.5 liters of water.
^
Place the funnel provided in place.
^
Fill carefully with salt, (as it is filled
water will run out).
^ Wipe any residual salt off the screw
threads on the socket.
^ Screw the cap on firmly.
^ Immediately after this: Run the
"Pre-Rinse" D program to remove any
traces of salt from the cabinet.
Important:
If after starting the "PRE-RINSE"
program D the machine does not start
for a few minutes this is not a fault. The
water softener is being reactivated.
