Reactivating The Water Softener - Miele G 7783 CD Operating Instructions Manual

Reactivating the water softener

When the k indicator light on the left
hand side of the control panel comes
on during a programme the built-in
water softener is depleted and cannot
supply any more softened water. It
must therefore be reactivated with dish-
washer salt as soon as the pro-
gramme has finished.
If this cannot be done immediately, and
further batches have been washed,
then the reactivation process must be
carried out twice in succession.
Only use special course grained dish-
washer salt (granule size approx. 1-4
mm), for reactivation, as other salts
may contain insoluble impurities or ad-
ditives which can impair the functioning
of the softener.
The salt container holds approx. 2 kg
salt.
Important
If the only reactivation salt available is
fine grain, please consult your Miele
service representative.
Reactivation salt with granules larger
than 4 mm cannot be used.
Reactivating the water softener
Never fill the salt reservoir with dish-
washer cleaning agent
this can lead to
– damage to the water softener and
– blockage of the salt container
filter insert, resulting in a build up
of pressure in the salt reservoir.
The irritant alkali solution could be a
hazard and personal injury could be
caused when the salt container is
removed.
Make sure that you have picked up
the right packet of dishwasher salt
before filling the salt container.
Filling the salt container
Unscrew the filter insert from the salt
container and remove.
Fill the salt container with granular
dishwasher salt and screw the filter
insert back in place.
