Water Softener
The water softener must be set to corre-
spond to the water hardness in your
area. This can be obtained from your
local water company, or by using a test
kit that can be purchased from the
Miele Parts Department.
To avoid the build up of calcium de-
posits on dishes, cutlery, and in the
dishwasher, if the water hardness is
above 7 gr/gal, the water should be
softened.
The dishwasher is factory set for a hard-
ness level of 1 - 4 gr/gal.
If your water hardness differs from
the factory setting, the correct set-
ting must be entered into the dish-
washer using the adjacent table.
To ensure a steady supply of soft-
ened water, the built in water sof-
tener must be:
1. Correctly set.
2. Reactivated with salt when depleted
Where the water hardness fluctuates
(e.g. 8-17 gr/gal), always set the ma-
chine to the higher value (17 in this
example).
