Warning and safety instructions
~
To avoid the risk of damage to the
washer-disinfector 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 cleaning agents and
specialised products it is essential that
the manufacturer's instructions are
followed. Chemicals must only be used
for the purpose they are designed for
and in the situation specified, to the
exclusion of other chemicals, to avoid
such dangers as chemical reactions
and material damage.
~
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 Miele.

~
If cleaning and rinsing results are
subject to particularly stringent
requirements (e.g. chemical analysis),
a regular quality control test must be
carried out by the supervisor to ensure
that the required standards of
cleanliness are being achieved.
~
Mobile units, baskets and inserts
should only be used for the purpose
they are designed for.
Hollow instruments must be thoroughly
cleaned, internally and externally.
~
Empty any containers or utensils
before arranging them in the machine.
~
The amount of residual solvents and
acids on items going into the cabinet
should be minimal. This applies in
particular to hydrochloric acid or
chloride solutions and to items
containing iron that can rust or corrode.
The presence in soiling of any solvents
should be minimal (especially those in
hazard class A1).
~
Ensure that solutions or steam
containing hydrochloric acid do not
come into contact with the steel outer
casing of the machine, to avoid any
corrosion damage.
~
After carrying out any work on the
mains water system, the water supply
system to the washer-disinfector must
be vented.
Otherwise, components in the machine
may become damaged.
