Miele IR 6002 - Reaction between chemical agents and soiling

Reaction between chemical agents and soiling
Problem How to resolve it
Natural oils and fats can be emulsified
with alkaline chemical agents. This can
lead to a heavy build-up of foam.
–
Where available use the "OIL"
programme.
–
This special programme dispenses
emulsifiers (pH neutral) in the
pre-rinse.
–
Depending on application use
de-foaming agents that do not
contain silicone oils.
Soiling containing high protein levels
such as blood can cause a heavy
build-up of foam when processed with
alkaline chemical agents.
–
Select a cleaning programme with at
least one short pre-rinse in cold
water.
Non-precious metals such as
aluminium, magnesium and zinc can
release hydrogen when processed with
very acidic or alkaline chemical agents
(oxyhydrogen reaction).
– Please observe chemical agent
manufacturer's instructions.
The following substances when used
with chemical agents can lead to a
heavy build-up of foam during washing
and rinsing:
–
flux,
–
cooling lubricant, cutting/drilling oil
and emulsions,
–
abrasive and polishing agents.
– Depending on application, use
emulsifiers or de-foaming agents that
do not contain silicone oils.
