Water softener (Not available in US models.)
The water softener must be set to corre-
spond to the water hardness in your
area. This can be obtained from your
local water company or by using a test
kit that can be purchased from the
Miele Parts Department.
Note:
If the water hardness in your area is
under 7 gr/gal, it is not necessary to re-
activate the softener with salt.
To avoid the build up of calcium de-
posits on dishes, cutlery, and in the
dishwasher, the water should be soft-
ened if it is harder than 7 gr/gal.
The dishwasher is factory set for a hard-
ness level of 4 - 14 gr/gal. If your water
is harder or softer, this setting will need
to be adjusted.
To ensure a steady supply of soft-
ened water, the built in water sof-
tener must be:
1. Correctly set.
2. Reactivated with salt when depleted.
