Preparing The Load - Miele PG 8581 Operating Instructions Manual

Preparing the load

 Only wash items which have been declared by their manufac-
turer as suitable for machine reprocessing may be processed. The
manufacturer's specific reprocessing instructions must be ob-
served.
Disposable items may not be reprocessed.
Special nozzles, irrigation sleeves, or adapters may be required for
appropriate internal cleaning, depending on the wash items. These,
together with other accessories, are available from Miele.
 Protective measures for personal safety must be observed.
Wear protective gloves when handling contaminated wash items or
use appropriate tools, e.g., tweezers.
- Arrange the wash items so that wash water can access all surfaces.
This ensures that they get properly cleaned.
- Do not place wash items to be cleaned inside other pieces where
they may be concealed. Do not place wash items so close together
that cleaning is hampered.
- The interior of lumened wash items must be thoroughly flushed
through with wash water.
- Ensure that wash items with long, narrow, hollow sections can be
flushed through properly before placing them in or attaching them
to an irrigation connector.
- Lumened instruments should be inverted and placed in the correct
mobile units, baskets, modules, and inserts, to ensure that water
can flow in and out of them unrestricted.
- Deep-sided wash items, e.g., trays, should be placed at an angle to
make sure water runs off them freely.
- Take apart any wash items which can be dismantled according to
the manufacturer's instructions and reprocess the individual parts
separately from each other.
- Lightweight wash items should be secured with a cover net (e.g.,
an A 6 or A 810) and small items placed in a mesh tray to prevent
them from blocking the spray arms.
- The spray arms must not be blocked by wash items which are too
tall or which hang down in their path.
- Broken glass can result in serious injury when loading or unloading.
Broken glass wash items must not be processed in the machine.
- Nickel and chrome-plated wash items and items made of aluminum
are not generally suitable for machine reprocessing. They require
special processing conditions.
- It is advisable to use only instruments made of special application
steel which are not susceptible to corrosion.
