Warning and Safety Instructions
16

Always allow wash carts, baskets, modules, inserts, and loads to
cool down before unloading. Any water remaining in concave items
could still be very hot. Empty them into the wash cabinet before
taking them out.

Never clean the machine or surrounding area with a water hose or
a pressure washer.

The machine must be disconnected from the mains electricity
supply before any maintenance or repair work is carried out.
Quality assurance

If it is necessary to interrupt a program in exceptional
circumstances, this may only be done by authorised personnel.

The standard of reprocessing must be routinely confirmed by the
user. The process should be validated on a regular basis, and
checked against documented control results.

For thermal disinfection, the appropriate temperatures and holding
times, as required by microbiological and public health standards and
guidelines, must be used to achieve the required degree of infection
control.

Make sure items being washed are suitable for machine
processing and are in good condition. Plastic items must be thermally
stable. Nickel plated items and anodised aluminum items can be
machine processed using special procedures only.
Items containing iron, and soiling containing residual rust must not be
placed in the cabinet.

Under certain circumstances process chemicals can cause
damage to the machine. Always follow the recommendations of the
process chemical manufacturers.
In case of damage or doubt about compatibility, please consult with
Miele.

Process chemicals containing chlorine can damage the elastomers
of the machine.
If the use of process chemicals containing chlorine is required, a
maximum temperature of 70°C in the program block "Main wash" is
recommended (see program overview).
In machines equipped with special oil-resistant elastomers (ex works)
for oil and grease applications process chemicals containing
chlorides may not be used!

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.
