Filling The Salt Container; Salt Indicator - Miele G 2183 Operating Instructions Manual

Filling the salt container

,
Inadvertently filling the salt
container with dishwashing
detergent will damage the water
softener.
,
Only use water softener salt
specially formulated for
dishwashers. Other salts may
contain insoluble additives which
can impair the water softener.
^ Remove the lower basket and
unscrew the salt container lid.
When opening the salt container,
water will run out. Open the
container only to refill salt.
Important: The salt container must
be filled with 2 quarts (2 l) of water
before adding salt for the first
time. Water does not have to be
added with subsequent refills.
Before using for the first time
^ Place the provided funnel over the
salt container. Carefully fill with salt.
The salt container holds approx.
4.5 lbs (2 kg) of salt. As it is filled,
water will run out.
^ Clean any excess salt from the
threads of the container opening.
Screw the lid on firmly.
^ If the dishwasher will not be used
immediately, run the "Express"
program. This will remove any traces
of salt from inside the wash cabinet.

Salt indicator

^ When the "Salt" indicator comes on,
refill the salt after the program is
finished.
After the container has been filled, the
water softener is automatically
reactivated the next time the
dishwasher is started. The "Salt"
indicator will be lit during this process.
It will go out once the reactivation
process is complete.
