Before Using The Machine For The First Time, You Will Need; Filling The Salt Reservoir - Miele PG 8083 SCVi Operating Instructions Manual

Before using the machine for
the first time, you will need:
– approx. 1 kg 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 reservoir

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 crockery and in the dishwasher.
Mains water with a hardness level
higher than 0.7 mmol/l (4 °d - German
scale) needs to be softened. This takes
place automatically in the integrated
water softener. The water softener in
the dishwasher is suitable for a water
hardness level of up to 6.5 mmol/l (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 °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 reservoir with
powder or liquid detergent.
Dishwasher detergent will damage
the water softener.

Only use special coarse grained
dishwasher salt for reactivation, or
pure evaporated salt.
Miele Professional offer appropriate
products.
Other salts may contain insoluble
additives which can impair the
functioning of the water softener.
