Warnings and safety notes
24

Pre-treatments with cleaning or disinfecting agents can create
foam, as can certain types of soiling and chemical agents. Foam can
have an adverse effect on the cleaning and disinfection result.

Processes must be set up such that foam cannot escape from the
wash cabinet. It would hinder the correct functioning of the machine.

The process used must be monitored on a regular basis by the su-
pervisor to check foaming levels.

Even when a process chemical, e.g. cleaning agent, is recommen-
ded, the machine manufacturer takes no responsibility for the effect
of such process chemicals on the load.
Please note that changes in product formulation, storage conditions,
etc. which are not announced by manufacturers of process chemicals
may impair the quality of cleaning results.

When using process chemicals, always consult the instructions is-
sued by individual manufacturers. Process chemicals must only be
used for the purpose they are designed for by the manufacturer to
avoid any material damage or the occurrence of very strong chemical
reactions (e.g. oxyhydrogen explosion).

Always follow the relevant manufacturer's instructions on storage
and disposal of chemical agents.

Particles ≥ 200 μm are removed by the filters in the wash chamber.
Smaller particles may find their way into the circulation system.

In critical applications where very stringent requirements have to
be met, it is strongly recommended that all the relevant factors for the
process, such as chemical agents, water quality etc. are discussed
with the Miele Application Technology specialists.

Mobile units, modules and inserts should only be used for the pur-
pose they are designed for.
Hollow instruments must be thoroughly cleaned, internally and ex-
ternally.

Secure small and light items with cover nets or place in a mesh
tray for small items, so that they do not block the spray arms.

Empty any containers or utensils before loading them.

The amount of residual solvents and acids on items going into the
cabinet should be minimal.
There should be no more than a trace of any solvents with a flash
point of below 21 °C.

Chloride solutions, in particular hydrochloric acid, must not be
placed in the cabinet.

Ensure that solutions or steam containing chlorides or hydrochloric
acid do not come into contact with the stainless steel outer casing of
the machine in order to avoid any damage through corrosion.
