Filling the salt reservoir.
The salt reservoir should be filled be-
fore the first use and whenever the
“
8
k” indicator lamp lights up. Use
water softener reactivation salt
(1 - 4mm grain size), as other salts may
contain insoluble additives which can
impair the functioning of the softener
and settle on glassware.
We recommend “Somat” salt (2kg) avail-
able from Miele (article no. 21997603).
The salt reservoir holds approx. 2 kg
(4 lbs) of salt.
Inadvertently filling the salt reservoir
with dishwashing detergent will
damage the water softener. Make
sure that only water softener reacti-
vation salt of the proper grain size is
used
Remove the lower basket.
Unscrew and remove the salt reser-
voir cap.
Before filling the salt reservoir for
the first time:
Fill the salt reservoir with approxi-
mately 2 litres (2 qts) of water.
Place the funnel (provided) over the
salt reservoir.
Carefully fill with salt. As it is filled,
water will run out .
Clean any excess salt from the
threads of the reservoir opening.
Screw the cap on firmly.
Run the UNIVERSAL programme im-
mediately to remove any traces of
salt from the cabinet.
