Miele 05 714 400 Dishwasher User Manual


 
Water softener
In order to achieve good cleaning re
-
sults, the dishwasher needs to operate
with soft water. Hard water results in the
build-up of calcium deposits on crock
-
ery and in the dishwasher.
Mains water with a hardness level
higher than 0.7 mmol/l (4° d - German
scale) needs to be softened. This takes
place automatically in the integrated
water softener.
The water softener must be filled with
dishwasher salt for reactivation.
The dishwasher must be pro-
grammed to correspond to the water
hardness in your area.
Your local water authority will be able
to advise you of the water hardness
level in your area.
Where the water hardness fluctuates
e.g. between 1.4 - 3.1 mmol/l (8 - 17 °d
German scale) always programme the
dishwasher to the higher value
(3.1 mmol/l in this example).
In the event of a fault, it will help the
service technician if you know the hard
-
ness of your local water supply.
