Filling The Salt Reservoir - Miele G 686 Operating Instructions Manual

Before using for the first time

Filling the salt reservoir

Important. Before filling the salt
reservoir with dishwasher salt for
the first time, you must fill it with ap-
prox. 2 litres of water to enable the
salt to dissolve. Once the dish-
washer has been used, there is al-
ways sufficient water in the reservoir.
Inadvertently filling the salt reservoir
with powder or liquid dishwasher
detergent always causes serious
damage to the water softener. Make
sure that you have picked up the
right packet of dishwasher salt be-
fore filling the salt reservoir.
Please only use special coarse
grained dishwasher salt for reactiva-
tion, as other salts may contain inso-
luble additives which can impair the
functioning of the softener.

Remove the lower basket and un-
screw the salt reservoir cap.
Fill the reservoir with approx. 2 litres
of water (first use).
Place the funnel provided over the
salt reservoir and carefully fill with
salt. The salt reservoir holds approx.
2 kg of salt.
As the salt reservoir is filled, displaced
water will overflow.
Clean any excess salt from around
the reservoir opening and then
screw the cap on again firmly.
Run the Pre-wash programme imme-
diately to remove any traces of salt
water from the cabinet.
