Miele G7859 Dishwasher User Manual


 
Filling the salt reservoir
Please only use specialised reactiva-
tion salt, if possible coarse grained
re-
activation salt, with granules of approxi-
mately 1- 4 mm. Under no circumstances
must other salts be used, e.g. table salt,
or gritting salt. These could contain
components which are insoluble in
water which could result in damage to
the water softener.
The salt reservoir holds about 2.5 kg of
salt.
Inadvertently filling the salt reservoir
with
dishwasher detergent always
causes serious
damage to the
water softener.
Make sure that you have picked up
the right packet of
reactivation salt
before filling the salt reservoir.
Remove the bottom basket.
Unscrew the salt reservoir cap.
Before filling the salt reservoir with
salt for the first time, fill it with ap-
prox. 2.5 litres of water.
Place the funnel provided in place.
Fill carefully with salt, (as it is filled
displaced water will run out).
Clean salt from the screw threads of
the socket.
Screw the cap on firmly.
Run the COLD programme D im-
mediately to remove any traces of
salt water from the cabinet.
Important:
If, after switching on, the D (COLD)
programme start is delayed for a few
minutes this is not a fault. The water sof-
tener is being reactivated.
