Refilling The Salt - Miele PLW 6111 Operating Instructions Manual

4.2

Refilling the salt

Use only special, coarse-grained reactivation salt or other pure evaporated salt. Never use any
other kind of salt, e.g., table salt, animal feed salt, or de-icing salt. Other salts may contain
insoluble additives which can impair the functioning of the water softener.
The following prompt reminds the user to refill the salt container:

"salt loading"
The container for reactivation salt is located in the base of the wash cabinet inside the machine.

Open the door.

Remove the load carrier.

Unscrew the plastic cap on the container.

Fill the funnel with salt.

Raise the funnel by the handle and place it on the container.

Release the handle. The salt then passes from the funnel into the container.

Repeat the process until the container is visibly full.
The container holds approx. 780 g (1.7 lb) of salt.

Refit the plastic cap on the salt container and screw tight.

Place the load carrier back into the machine.

Start the "Rinse" program.

BUILT-IN WATER SOFTENER (OPTIONAL)
WARNING!
The container must always be completely filled. If filled to less than full, the
water softening capacity is reduced and limescale deposits may occur on the
wash items and on wash cabinet surfaces.
WARNING!
Run the "Rinse" program after refilling the salt. This removes and dissolves
spillages of salt and brine. Excess salt and brine which has overflowed can
cause corrosion damage if they are not rinsed away.
WARNING!
During reactivation, the following appears on the display: "regeneration".
