Miele PG 8581 Operating Instructions Manual page 11

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

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 cleaning and disinfection 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 its accessories
caused by process chemicals, soiling and any reaction between the
two, please read the notes in "Chemical Processes and Technology."

Even when a process chemical is recommended on technical
application grounds, it 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 publicized by the chemical manufacturer, can have
a negative effect on the cleaning result.

When using a process chemical it is essential that the
manufacturer's instructions are followed. The process chemical 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 manufacturer's instructions on storage and
disposal of process chemicals.

Particles ≥ 1/16" (0.8 mm) are removed by the filters in the wash
chamber. Smaller particles may find their way into the circulation
system. For this reason, processing of wash 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 process chemicals, water quality, etc., are
discussed with Miele.

The mobile units, baskets, modules and inserts that hold the wash
load must be used only as intended.
Hollow items must be thoroughly cleaned, internally and externally.

Secure small and light items with cover nets or place in a mesh
tray for small items, so that they do not block the spray arms.

Empty any containers or utensils before loading them.
