Before Using The Appliance For The First Time You Require; Filling The Salt Reservoir - Miele G 1170 Operating Instructions Manual

Before using for the first time
Before using the appliance for
the first time you require:
– approx. 2 litres of water,
– approx. 2 kg dishwasher salt,
– domestic dishwasher detergent,
– rinse aid formulated for domestic
dishwashers.
Every dishwasher is tested at the
factory.
There will be residual water in the
appliance from this test. It is not an
indication that it has been previously
used.

Filling the salt reservoir

If the water in your area is very soft
and constantly lower than
0.7 mmol/l (4 °d) you do not need
to add dishwasher salt.
The water softener must, however,
still be programmed to correspond
to the water hardness level in your
area. (The salt indicator light will still
come on, but should be ignored).

The water softener requires
dishwasher salt. If you use "3 in 1"
tabs in your dishwasher you should
still add salt in order to achieve
optimum results.
Important: Before filling the salt
reservoir with dishwasher salt for the
first time, you must fill it with
approx. 2 litres of water to enable
the salt to dissolve. Once the
dishwasher has been used, there is
always sufficient water in the
reservoir.
,
Inadvertently filling the salt
reservoir with powder or liquid
dishwasher detergent always leads
to serious damage to the water
softener. Make sure you have picked
up the correct packet of dishwasher
salt before filling the salt reservoir!
,
Only use special coarse grained
dishwasher salt for reactivation. Do
not use other salts such as cooking
salt, agricultural grade or gritting
salt. These may contain insoluble
additives which can impair the
functioning of the water softener.
