Warning and Safety instructions
18
Abrasive substances must not be placed in the machine as they
could cause damage to the mechanical components of the water
supply. Any residues of abrasive substances on items to be washed
must be removed without trace before reprocessing in the machine.
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 disinfection and cleaning 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
supervisor to check foaming levels.
To avoid the risk of damage to the machine and any accessories
used with it caused by chemical agents, soiling and any reaction
between the two please read the notes in "Chemical processes and
technology".
Where a chemical agent is recommended on technical application
grounds (e.g. a cleaning agent), this does not imply that the
manufacturer of the machine accepts liability for the effect of the
chemical on the items being cleaned.
Please be aware that changes in formulation, storage conditions etc.
which may not be publicised by the chemical manufacturer, can have
a negative effect on the cleaning result.
When using a chemical agent it is essential that the manufacturer's
instructions are followed. The chemical agent must only be used for
the application it is designed for and in the situation specified, to
avoid material damage and such dangers as a severe explosive
chemical reaction (e.g. an explosive oxyhydrogen gas reaction).
Always follow the relevant manufacturer's instructions on storage
and disposal of chemical agents.
Particles ≥0.8mm are removed by the filters in the wash cabinet.
Smaller particles may find their way into the circulation system. For
this reason, processing of loads with narrow openings requires
additional filtering of the wash water.
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.
If the cleaning result is subject to particularly stringent
requirements, a regular quality control test should be carried out by
the user to ensure that required standards of cleanliness are being
achieved.
The mobile units, baskets, modules and inserts that hold the load
must be used only as intended.
Hollow items must be thoroughly cleaned, internally and externally.
