Miele PG 8061 User Manual

Filling the salt container
27
Reactivation
In order to achieve excellent cleaning results, the dishwasher needs
to operate with soft water. Hard water results in the buildup of cal-
cium deposits on the load and the machine walls.
Water with a hardness of 4 gpg (= 4°dH German scale) or greater
must be softened. This occurs automatically in the built-in water soft-
ener.
In order for this process to function properly, the water softener must
be set to the exact hardness of the water supplied.
Your local water authority will be able to tell you the exact degree of
hardness of your water supply.
In the event of a service call at a later date, the technician's job will
be easier if the actual water hardness is known. Please note your
water hardness level here:
______________ gpg or °dH German scale
The water softener must be reactivated at regular intervals.
A special reactivation salt is required for this task.
If the hardness of your water is consistently less than 0.7mmol/l (=
4°dH German scale), it is not necessary to add any salt to the wa-
ter softener. However, the water hardness will still need to be set.
 Do not fill the salt compartment with dishwasher detergent (in-
cluding liquid detergent).
Dishwasher detergent will damage the water softener.
Use only special, coarse-grained reactivation salt or other pure
evaporated salt.
Other types of salt may contain insoluble components which can
cause the water softener to malfunction.
