IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
20

Label machines which have been taken out of operation and lock
them to prevent them being switched on again without authorization.
The machine may only be put back into operation once it has been
successfully repaired by Miele Technical Service.

Personnel operating the machine should be trained regularly. Un-
trained personnel must not be allowed access to the machine or its
controls.

Use caution when handling process chemicals. These may contain
irritant, corrosive or toxic ingredients.
Please observe the process chemical manufacturer's safety instruc-
tions and safety data sheets.
Wear protective gloves and goggles.

The machine is designed for operation with water and recom-
mended additive process chemicals only. Organic solvents and
flammable liquid agents must not be used as this could cause an ex-
plosion, damage rubber or plastic components in the machine and
cause liquids to leak out of it.

The water in the wash cabinet is NOT safe to drink!

Be careful when sorting wash items with sharp, pointed ends. Po-
sition them in the machine so that you will not hurt yourself or create
a danger for others.

Broken glass can result in serious injury when loading or unload-
ing. Damaged glass wash items must not be processed in the ma-
chine.

When operating the machine, beware of the high temperatures in-
volved. If you bypass the electrical lock to open the door, there is a
risk of scalding or chemical burns.

Where there is a risk of toxic or chemical substances occurring in
or leaking into the chamber wash water during cleaning (e.g., alde-
hyde in the disinfecting agent), it is essential to regularly check door
seals and make sure that the steam condenser is functioning cor-
rectly.
Opening the machine door during a program interruption carries par-
ticular risks in such circumstances.

Should personnel accidentally come into contact with toxic vapors
or process chemicals, follow the emergency instructions given in the
manufacturer's safety data sheets.

After drying with the drying unit, leave the door open at first to al-
low the wash items, mobile unit, modules, and inserts to cool down.

Allow mobile units, modules, inserts, and the load to cool down
before removing them. Any water remaining in containers should be
emptied into the chamber before removing items.
