Water Softener - Miele EXCELLA G 2630 SCI Operating Instructions Manual

Every dishwasher is tested before
leaving the factory. Any water
remaining in the machine is from the
final factory test and does not
indicate that the machine has been
used.

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 4°d
(4 gr/gal [US]), the water should be
softened. This takes place
automatically in the unit's integrated
water softener.
The water softener sets automatically to
the local water hardness.
If the hardness of your local supply
is constantly lower than 4°d (4 gr/gal
[US]), you do not need to add water
softener salt.
The "Insufficient salt" message will
turn off automatically.
For best results use salt when using
3 in 1 tabs. When selecting the
"3 in 1" detergent setting, the salt
dosage is reduced to 1/3 - 1/4 of the
normal amount.
