Water Softener - Miele G 879 SCVI Operating And Installation Instructions

Water Softener

If the water hardness in your area
is under 150 ppm (mg/l) you
should not activate the built-in
water softener with salt. This
could lead to problems including
cloudy glassware.
The water hardness in your area can
be obtained from your local water
company or by using a test kit that
can be purchased from the Miele
Parts Department (part no. 0014619).
If your water hardness is above
150 ppm (mg/l), the water should
be softened to avoid the build up of
calcium deposits on dishes, cutlery
and in the dishwasher.
The dishwasher is factory set for a hard-
ness level of 20 - 70 ppm (mg/l). If your
water is harder or softer, the setting will
need to be adjusted.
To ensure a steady supply of soft-
ened water, the built in water sof-
tener must be:
1. Correctly set.
2. Reactivated with salt when depleted.
Where the water hardness fluctuates
(e.g. 140 - 310 ppm (mg/l)) always set
the machine to the lower value
(140 ppm (mg/l) in this example).
