Filling The Salt Reservoir - Miele G 7881 Operating Instructions Manual

Filling the salt reservoir

Only use special coarse grained
reactivation salt with granules of
approx. 1 - 4 mm. Do not use other
types of salt such as cooking salt,
agricultural grade or gritting salt. These
may contain insoluble additives which
can impair the functioning of the water
softener. If in doubt consult the Miele
Professional Department.
The salt reservoir holds approx. 2.5
kg of salt.
,
Inadvertently filling the salt
reservoir with cleaning agent will
damage the water softener.
Before filling the salt reservoir make
sure that you have picked up the
right packet of reactivation salt.
^ Remove the bottom basket from the
machine.
^ Unscrew the salt reservoir cap.
Before filling the salt reservoir with
reactivation salt for the first time, you
must fill it with approx. 2.5 litres of
water to enable the salt to dissolve.
Once the washer-disinfector has
been used, there is always sufficient
water in the reservoir.
^ Place the funnel provided in position.
^ Fill carefully with salt.
As it is poured in, displaced water will
run out.
^ Remove the funnel and wipe any
residual salt off the screw threads on
the socket.
^ Screw the cap back on firmly.
^ Run the PRE-RINSE D programme to
remove any traces of salt from the
cabinet.
The programme sequence may be
delayed for a few minutes after the
start of the PRE-RINSE D
programme. This is not a fault. The
water softener is being reactivated.
