Filling the salt reservoir

Use only special, coarse-grained reactivation salt with a granule size
of approx. 1 - 4 mm. Suitable water softener salt is available from
Miele Professional.
Do not under any circumstances use other types of salt such as table
salt, agricultural or gritting salt. These may contain insoluble additives
which can impair the functioning of the water softener.
 Inadvertently filling the salt reservoir with cleaning detergent will
cause serious damage to the water softener.
Before filling the salt reservoir make sure that you have picked up
the right package of reactivation salt.
Open the door to an angle of around 45°. This ensures that the salt

flows into the salt reservoir more easily.
Press the yellow button with the  symbol on the salt reservoir in

the direction of the arrow. The flap will spring open.
Open the funnel.

The reservoir takes approx. 1.4–2 kg of salt, depending on the type
of salt and the remaining fill level.
