Water Softener; Setting The Water Softener - Miele G 7804 Operating Instructions Manual

Water softener

The water needs to be softened to
avoid calcium deposits building up on
instruments and utensils and in the
machine itself.
To ensure a steady supply of soft water
the water softener unit must always be:
1. correctly set (programmed) and
2. the salt reservoir must be filled.
(If the water hardness level is below
0.7 mmol/l (4 °d - German scale) the
reservoir does not need to be filled
with reactivation salt.)
The machine is set at the factory for
a water hardness level of 3.4 mmol/l
(19 °d).
If the water supply is harder or softer
than this (including below 0.7 mmol/l
or 4 °d) the factory setting will need
to be changed following the
instructions in "Setting the water
softener". See chart on the next
page for settings.
Your local water authority will advise
you on the water hardness in your area.
For fluctuating levels (e.g. 1.4 -
3.1 mmol/l or 8 - 17 °d) set the water
softener to the highest setting (in this
example to 3.1 mmol/l or 17 °d).
Important
The built-in water softener has settings
from 0.2 - 10.8 mmol/l or 1 °d - 60 °d.
