There will be residual water in the

F illing th e salt reserv o ir
If y ou use combination products
which have salt in them in y our
dishwasher, such as "3 in 1" or
"4 in 1" products, y ou should still
add salt in order to achieve optimum
results and to ensure that the water
softener continues to function
correctly . S electing the C ombi tabs
option reduces salt consumption to
between
1
/
3
and
1
/
4
of the normal
amount.
Important: B efore filling the salt
reservoir with dishwasher salt for the
first tim e, y ou must fill it with
approx . 1 litre of water to enable the
salt to dissolve. O nce the
dishwasher has been used, there is
alway s sufficient water in the
reservoir.
If the water in y our area is very soft
and constantly lo w er th an
0 .7 m m o l/l (4 ° d ) y ou do no t need
to add salt.
The water softener must, however,
still be programmed to correspond
to the water hardness level in y our
area.
,
Inadvertently filling the salt
reservoir with powder or liq uid
dishwasher detergent will damage
the water softener.
,Miele recommends using
specially designed dishwasher salt
to max imiz e the performance of y our
dishwasher and to prevent build-up
of calcium and limescale in the
dishwasher cabinet, especially if y ou
live in hard water area.
D ishwasher salt can be purchased
online at www.miele-shop.com
(depending on country ) or via the
Miele S pare P arts D epartment.
