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 com
-
ponents which are insoluble in water
which could result in damage to the wa
-
ter softener. If in doubt consult your
Miele Professional Department.
The salt reservoir holds approx. 2.5 kg
of salt.
,
Inadvertently filling the salt reser
-
voir 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 litres of water.
^ Place the funnel provided in place.
^ Fill carefully with salt, (as it is filled
displaced 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 programme D to remove
any traces of salt from the cabinet.
Important:
If after starting the
PRE-RINSE programme D the machine
does not start for a few minutes this is
not a fault. The water softener is being
reactivated.
