Filling The Salt Reservoir; Refilling The Salt - Miele PFD 101 Operating Instructions Manual

Filling the salt reservoir

Before filling the salt reservoir for the
first time, you must fill it with approx.
2 l of water to enable the salt to
dissolve.
Once the dishwasher has been used
once, there is always sufficient water
in the salt reservoir.
 Remove the lower basket from the
wash cabinet and unscrew the salt
reservoir cap.
 Fill the salt reservoir with approx. 2 l
of water (first use only).
 Place the funnel provided over the
salt reservoir and carefully fill with
dishwasher salt until the reservoir is
full. The salt reservoir holds up to
2 kg of salt, depending on the type of
salt used.
 Clean off salt residues from around
the salt reservoir opening. Next,
screw the salt reservoir cap on again
firmly.
Before using for the first time

Refilling the salt

 When the refill reminder 
appears in the display, wait until the
end of the programme and then refill
the salt reservoir.
 Confirm with OK.
The salt refill indicator will go out.

Risk of corrosion due to saline
solution.
Saline solution that runs out can
cause corrosion in the wash cabinet
and to the load items.
Each time you remove the salt
reservoir cap, you must run the
 Cold pre-wash programme
without any load items in the
dishwasher. This will dissolve and
remove any traces of salt from the
wash cabinet.
After the salt reservoir has been filled,
the salt refill indicator may still appear in
the display if the salt concentration has
not yet reached the correct level. In this
case, confirm the message again with
OK.
