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

Before using the appliance for
the first time, you require:
– approx. 1 kg dishwasher salt for
reactivation,
– 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 the dishwasher 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 the build-up of calcium
deposits on crockery and on the inner
surfaces of the machine. Mains water
with a hardness level higher than 0.7
mmol/l (4 °d - German scale) must be
softened. This occurs automatically in
the integrated water softener. The water
softener requires reactivation salt. The
water softener is suitable for a water
hardness level of up to 6.5 mmol/l
(36 °d - German scale).
See "Settings menu, Water hardness"
for setting the water softener.
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 dishwasher
detergent.
Dishwasher detergent will damage
the water softener.

Only use special coarse grained
dishwasher salt for reactivation, or
pure evaporated salt.
Suitable products are available from
Miele Professional.
Other salts may contain insoluble
additives which can impair the
functioning of the water softener.
