Warning and Safety instructions
6

For disinfection procedures, use temperatures, holding times, li-
quor ratios and, if necessary, disinfectants to achieve the required in-
fection prophylaxis in accordance with guidelines and microbiological
and hygienic standards.

Disinfection programmes must not be interrupted, as this can have
a limiting effect on the disinfection result. It is the operator's respons-
ibility to ensure that the standard of disinfection in thermal as well as
chemo thermal procedures is maintained by carrying out suitable val-
idation tests.

If the laundry has special result quality requirements, such as rins-
ing result, an absence of particles, wettability and liquid permeability,
the procedure must be validated accordingly. The supervisor must
guarantee the reprocessing standard with regular quality checks.

Do not store or use petrol, paraffin or any easily flammable sub-
stances near the washing machine. There is a risk of fire and explo-
sion.
