Chemical processes and technology
How to resolve it
– De-foaming agents should be used
in exceptional cases only, for
instance when absolutely essential
for the process.
– The wash cabinet and accessories
should be periodically cleaned
without a load and without
de-foaming agent using the
ORGANICA program where available
or an optional "Organica" program
defined by Miele Service.
– Please contact Miele for advice.
How to resolve it
– If possible, retrofit the
washer-disinfector with oil resistant
elastomeres, provided by Miele.
– Depending on usage wipe the lower
door seal on the washer-disinfector
periodically with a lint-free cloth or
sponge.
Clean the wash cabinet and
accessories without a load using the
ORGANICA program where available
or an optional "Organica" program
defined by Miele Service.
– Prepare the load
using the OIL program where
available or an optional "Oil" program
defined by Miele Service that
dispenses cleaning agents
containing tensides.
