Filling the salt reservoir
Only special, coarse-grained
reactivation salt* should be used in
this machine.

back page for more information.
Do not use other types of salt, e.g. table
salt, agricultural or gritting salt. These
could contain components which are
insoluble in water and could damage
the water softener. If in doubt consult
the Miele Professional Department.
The salt reservoir holds about 2 kg of
salt.

Inadvertently filling the salt
reservoir with detergent will damage
