Filling The Salt Container - Miele Crystal G 5225 SC Operating Instructions Manual

Before using for the first time
Every dishwasher is tested before
leaving the factory. Any water
remaining in the machine is from the
final factory test and does not
indicate that the machine has been
used.

Filling the salt container

,
Inadvertently filling the salt
container with dishwashing
detergent (including liquid
detergent) will damage the water
softener.
,
Only use water softener salt
specially formulated for
dishwashers. Other salts may
contain insoluble additives which
can impair the water softener.
If using "Tab" products which
include salt, still add salt to the
machine to achieve optimal cleaning
results and ensure long-term
functioning of the water softener.
^ Remove the lower basket from the
wash cabinet and unscrew the salt
container lid.
When opening the salt container,
water will run out. Open the
container only to refill salt.

Important: The salt container must
be filled with 2 quarts (2 l) of water
before adding salt for the first time
so the salt can dissolve
properly. Water does not have to be
added with subsequent refills.
^ Place the provided funnel over the
salt container and carefully fill it with
salt. The salt container holds approx.
4.4 lbs (2 kg) of salt, depending on
the type of salt.
^ Clean any excess salt from the
threads of the container opening.
Screw the lid on firmly.
^ Immediately after each refill, run the "
Express" program without a load (no
"Turbo" function if available). This will
remove any traces of salt from inside
the wash cabinet.
