
attention to relevant regulations).
Remove non-water soluble residues such as paint, adhesives and

polymer compounds using appropriate solvents.
Rinse wash load items which have been in contact with solvents,

chloride solutions or hydrochloric acid thoroughly with water and
drain well before loading in the machine.
 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, or corrosive
iron materials must not be placed in the cabinet.
Scoop nutrient media (Agar) out of petri dishes.

Shake out any blood residues and remove any clots.

If necessary rinse the wash load briefly with water to avoid

introducing coarse soiling into the machine.
Remove all stoppers, corks, labels, sealing wax residue, etc.

Small items such as stoppers and taps, should be secured in

suitable baskets for small parts.
It may be necessary in individual cases to check whether extremely
stubborn contamination e.g. vacuum grease, paper labels, etc. which
could affect the cleaning result, must be removed in advance.
It must be determined whether wash load items which are
contaminated with microbiological material, pathogenic germs,
facultative pathogenic germs, genetically modified material etc. need
to be sterilized prior to machine reprocessing.
