Filling The Salt Reservoir - Miele G 890 Operating Instructions Manual

Water softener

Filling the salt reservoir.

The salt reservoir should be filled be-
fore the first use and when the "Salt" in-
dicator lamp lights up. Use water sof-
tener reactivation salt (1 - 4 mm grain
size), as other salts may contain inso-
luble additives which can impair the
functioning of the softener.
The salt reservoir holds approx. 4 lbs
(2 kg) of salt.
Inadvertently filling the salt reservoir
with dishwashing detergent will
damage the water softener. Make
sure that only water softener reacti-
vation salt of the proper grain size is
used.
To fill the salt reservoir:
Remove the lower basket.
Unscrew and remove the salt reser-
voir cap.

Before adding salt for the first time:
Fill the reservoir with approximately
2 quarts (2 l) of water.
Place the funnel (provided) over the
salt reservoir.
Carefully fill with salt. As it is filled,
water will run out.
Clean any excess salt from the
threads of the reservoir opening.
Screw the cap on firmly.
If the dishwasher will not be used im-
mediately after reactivation, run the
RINSE & HOLD program. This will
remove any traces of salt from the
cabinet.
