Before Using The Machine For The First Time, You Will Need; Filling The Salt Compartment - Miele PG 8080i Operating Instructions Manual

Before using the machine for
the first time, you will need:
– Approx. 2.2 lbs (1 kg) of dishwasher
salt
– approx. 110 ml rinse aid,
– Dishwasher detergent, see
"Operation".
Every dishwasher is tested at the
factory. There will be residual water in
the machine from this test. It is not an
indication that it has been used
previously.

Filling the salt compartment

In order to achieve good cleaning
results, the dishwasher needs to
operate with soft water. Hard water
results in a build-up of calcium deposits
on tableware and in the dishwasher.
Water with a hardness level higher than
0.7 mmol/l (4 gr/gal (4 °d - German
scale)) needs to be softened. This takes
place automatically in the integrated
water softener. The water softener
assembly in the dishwasher is suitable
for a water hardness level of up to
6.5 mmol/l (38 gr/gal (36°d - German
scale)).
See "Settings menu, Water hardness"
for more information.
Commissioning
If the water in your area is very soft
and constantly lower than 0.7 mmol/l
(4 gr/gal (4 °d - German scale)), you
do not need to add dishwasher salt.
The dishwasher must, however, still
be programmed for the water
hardness level in your area.

Do not fill the salt compartment
with dishwasher detergent (including
liquid detergent).
Dishwasher detergent will damage
the softener assembly.

Only use special coarse-grained
dishwasher salt for reactivation, or
pure evaporated salt.
Miele Professional offers appropriate
products.
Other types of salt may contain
insoluble components which can
cause the water softener to
malfunction.
