Preparing the
load
Observe the further information given in the following sections as
necessary depending on area of application.
Empty all items before loading into the machine (paying particular

attention to relevant regulations).
Remove non-water soluble residues such as paint, adhesives and

polymer compounds using appropriate solvents.
Rinse load items which have been in contact with chloride solutions

or hydrochloric acid thoroughly with water before loading in the
machine and drain well.
 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, and items
containing iron that can rust or corrode must not be placed in the
machine.
Shake out any blood residues and remove any clots.

If necessary, rinse the load briefly with water to prevent coarse

soiling entering the machine.
Remove stoppers, corks, labels, sealing residues, etc.

Secure small items such as stoppers and taps in suitable baskets

for small items.
It may be necessary in individual cases to check whether extremely
stubborn contamination – such as vacuum grease and paper labels –
which could affect the cleaning result must be removed in advance.
It must be determined whether load items which are contaminated
with microbiological material, pathogenic germs, facultative
pathogenic bacteria, genetically modified material, etc. need to be
sterilised prior to machine processing.
