Water Softener - Miele G 7881 Operating Instructions Manual

Before using the machine for the first
time, the water softener should be
programmed. The water needs to be
softened to avoid calcium deposit
buildup on instruments and in the
machine itself.
To ensure a steady supply of soft water:
1. Make sure the water softener is
programmed correctly.
The softener contains settings from
1 - 60 gr/gal or 20 - 1080 ppm.
2. The salt reservoir must be filled with
reactivation salt.
(If the water hardness level is below
4 gr/gal [70 ppm]), the reservoir
does not need to be filled.)
The machine is set at the factory for a
water hardness level of 19 gr/gal
(340 ppm).

Your local water authority will advise
you on the water hardness in your
area. If the water supply is harder or
softer than the factory setting
(including below 4 gr/gal or
70 ppm), the setting will need to be
changed. See "Setting the water
softener".
