About a year ago when I purchased my Miele dishwasher, I purchased a box of "Somat" dishwasher salt. The softener hasn't called for salt in a year, but I figure it soon will. I remember reading on another forum that one could substitute Kosher salt for Somat. While in Wally-World today, I picked up a box of "coarse kosher salt" and shook it. For all the world, it sounded like table salt in there! I purchased a box of "ice cream" salt, the granules of which more closely resemble what I remember to be the size of the Somat salt. Before I add ice cream salt to this $2,400.00 "wunderkind", can/should I in fact use this stuff? The granules are surprisingly small, but there are some that are definitely larger than the 1-4 mm recommended grain size that the Miele manual calls for. I'd probably pick them out. I know I'm perhaps being penny wise and pound foolish, but it's the difference in a .97 box of ice cream salt, and an $8.00 box of Somat which is a 30 minute drive away. Opinions? Pronouncements? |
