Notes about these instructions Important warnings Information which is important for safety is highlighted in a thick framed box with a warning symbol. This alerts you to the potential danger of injury to people or damage to property. Read these warning notes carefully and observe the procedural instructions and codes of practice they describe.
Intended use This Miele washer-disinfector can be used to reprocess laboratory glassware and laboratory utensils with water based media. The process includes cleaning and rinsing, and disinfection where required. Due to the wide variety of laboratory glassware and laboratory utensils on the market, it may be necessary in some cases to establish whether it is suitable for reprocessing in a washer- disinfector.
Page 9
Intended use This machine is programmed to carry out the final rinse with mains water or with processed water of a quality to suit the application (e.g. purified water, fully demineralised water or demineralised water). It is particularly important to ensure the appropriate water quality for the rinse and final rinse of items for analytical purposes.
Intended use User profiles Daily operators Daily operators must be instructed in operating and loading the machine and trained regularly to guarantee safe daily use. They require knowledge of machine reprocessing of laboratory glassware and utensils. Tasks for daily routine operation are located in the menu.

To ensure compliance with Good Laboratory Practice guidelines, Miele repair and maintenance contracts are recommended.
Page 16
Warning and Safety instructions Take care not to inhale powder agents. Chemical agents can cause chemical burns in the mouth and throat or lead to asphyxiation. Do not lift the machine by protruding parts such as the control panel or the opened service flap as these could be damaged or torn off.
Page 17
Warning and Safety instructions Quality assurance The following points should be observed to assist in maintaining quality standards when processing laboratory glassware and utensils to avoid damage to the loads being cleaned. If it is necessary to interrupt a programme in exceptional circumstances, this may only be done by authorised personnel.
Page 18
Warning and Safety instructions 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.

Commissioning Commissioning Commissioning is completed when the following message is completed displayed. Set up successful Confirm the message with OK. The machine is now ready for use. Universal Temperature 75 °C Duration 1:30 After commissioning every programme starts with reactivation of the water softener.
Opening and closing the door Electronic door locking The washer-disinfector is equipped with a Comfort door lock. When the door is closed, the Comfort door lock automatically pulls the door into the correct position, electronically locking the door. Opening the door An electronically locked door can only be opened if: –...
Opening and closing the door Opening the door using the emergency release The emergency release may only be used when it is no longer possible to open the door normally, e.g. in the event of a power cut. If the emergency release is operated during a programme cycle, hot water and cleaning agents can escape.
Water softener Water hardness In order to achieve good cleaning results, the machine needs to operate with soft water. Hard water results in the build-up of calcium deposits on the load and in the machine. Mains water with a hardness of more than 0.7 mmol/l (4 °dH German scale) must be softened.
Water softener Setting the water hardness level Water hardness can be set between 0 and 12.6 mmol/l (0 - 70 °dH). Open the menu as follows: button Further settings Water hardness Water hardness °dH (1 70 °dH ) The bottom line of the display shows the possible input range.
Water softener Filling the salt reservoir Use only special, coarse-grained reactivation salt with a granule size of approx. 1 - 4 mm. Do not under any circumstances use other types of salt such as table salt, agricultural or gritting salt. These may contain insoluble additives which can impair the functioning of the water softener.
Page 37
Water softener Do not fill the reservoir with water. The reservoir could overflow when filled with salt. Add salt only until the funnel of the salt reservoir is full, so that it can close properly. Do not add more than 2 kg of salt. As the salt reservoir is being filled, displaced water (saline solution) may run out.
Water softener Add salt reminder If the salt level in the reservoir is low, the following reminder will appear: Refill salt Confirm the message with the OK button and fill the reservoir as described. When the message first appears, there may be sufficient salt for a further programme, depending on the water hardness level set.
Areas of application Mobile units, baskets, modules and inserts This machine can be equipped with an upper and lower basket or a mobile unit which can be fitted with different inserts and modules or exchanged for special accessories depending on the items to be washed.
Areas of application Adjusting the upper basket Height-adjustable upper baskets can be adjusted between three positions with 2 cm between each position to accommodate items of different heights. To adjust the height, the brackets with rollers on the side of the upper basket and the water connector at the back of the basket have to be moved.
Page 41
Areas of application ... Middle position: Move the roller brackets on both sides to the middle position and secure them firmly. Position the stainless steel plate over the openings in the water supply pipe so that one of the outer apertures is covered. Secure the stainless steel plate at the top or bottom with 2 screws.
Areas of application Preparing the load Only items which have been declared by their manufacturer as suitable for machine reprocessing may be processed. The manufacturer's specific reprocessing instructions must be observed. Special injector nozzles, irrigation sleeves or adapters may be required for appropriate internal cleaning, depending on the load.

Maintenance Press the catches towards each other and pull the coarse filter upwards to remove it. Remove the fine filter which sits loosely between between the coarse filter and the microfine filter. Remove the flat filter last. Clean the filters.
Maintenance Cleaning the spray arms The spray arms can become blocked, especially if the filters are not inserted correctly in the wash cabinet. This can cause coarse particles of soiling to get into the wash fluid circulation. The spray arms must be visually checked daily for any soiling. To do this remove the mobile unit and the baskets.
Page 119
Maintenance Use a pointed object to push food particles into the spray arm. Rinse the spray arm thoroughly under running water. Do not allow any magnetic objects or wash items stick to the magnets on the spray arms. Any metallic objects on the magnets can cause a false reading of spray arm pressure.
