Miele Platinum G 892 SC - Manual (Page 14)

Water softener
To achieve good cleaning results, the
dishwasher needs soft water. Hard
water results in calcium deposits on
dishware and in the dishwasher.
If your tap water hardness is above
8 gr/gal (values are in US gallons)
(140 p.m.), the water should be
softened. This takes place
automatically in the unit’s integrated
water softener.
– Your local water authority will be able
to advise you of the water hardness
level in your area.
– The dishwasher must be
programmed to correspond to the
water hardness in your area.
– The water softener must be filled with
dishwasher salt for reactivation.
If your water hardness is consistently
lower than 8 gr/gal (140 p.m.), you do
not need to add dishwasher salt
.
However, the dishwasher must still be
programmed to correspond to the local
water hardness.
Where the water hardness fluctuates
e.g. between 9 - 17 gr/gal (160 - 310
p.m.), always program the machine to
the higher value, 17 gr/gal (310 p.m.) in
this example.
If there is a fault, it will help the service
technician to know the hardness of your
local water supply.
