Water Softener; Setting The Water Softener - Miele G 7883 CD Operating And Installation Instructions

Before using the machine for the first
time, the water softener should be
programmed. The water needs to be
softened to avoid calcium deposits on
the items being cleaned and in the
machine itself.
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".
– In order to function properly, the
water softener requires a supply of
reactivation salt.
– The cleaner must be correctly
programmed to match the hardness
of the tap water supply.
– Your local water authority can
provide information about the
hardness of the tap water in your
area.
If the water hardness is known to
fluctuate, always program for the
highest value.
The built-in water softener can be
programmed at settings from
1 - 60 gr/gal or 20 - 1080 ppm.
It is useful to make a note of your water
hardness so that you can provide the
service technician with this information
in the event of any service calls.
Please note the water hardness in the
space provided here:
gr/gal or ppm
