Miele 06 702 810 - Manual (Page 16)

Before using the appliance for
the first time you require:
– approx. 2 litres of water,
– approx. 2 kg dishwasher salt,
– domestic dishwasher detergent,
– rinse aid formulated for domestic
dishwashers.
Every dishwasher is tested at the
factory.
There will be residual water in the
appliance from this test. It is not an
indication that it has been previously
used.
Filling the salt reservoir
The water softener requires
dishwasher salt. If you use "3 in 1"
tablets in your dishwasher you
should still add salt in order to
achieve optimum results. The
amount of salt used is reduced to
between
1
/
4
and
1
/
3
of the normal
amount if the "3 in 1" function is
selected.
If the water in your area is very soft
and constantly
lower than
0.7 mmol/l (4 °d) you do not need
to add dishwasher salt .
The water softener must, however,
still be programmed to correspond
to the water hardness level in your
area.
Important: Before filling the salt
reservoir with dishwasher salt for the
first time , you must fill it with
approx. 2 litres of water to enable
the salt to dissolve. Once the
dishwasher has been used, there is
always sufficient water in the
reservoir.
,
Inadvertently filling the salt
reservoir with powder or liquid
dishwasher detergent always leads
to serious damage to the water
softener. Make sure you have picked
up the correct packet of dishwasher
salt before filling the salt reservoir!
,
Only use special coarse grained
dishwasher salt for reactivation. Do
not use other salts such as cooking
salt, agricultural grade or gritting
salt. These may contain insoluble
additives which can impair the
functioning of the water softener.
