Proper use This Miele labwasher can be used to reprocess laboratory glassware and laboratory utensils with water based media. The process includes cleaning, rinsing and drying. Due to the wide variety of laboratory glassware and laboratory utensils on the market, it may be necessary in some cases to establish whether the items are suitable for reprocessing in a labwasher.
Proper use Spray arm pressure and monitoring The machine has a sensor for monitoring spray pressure e.g in order to detect pressure fluctuations caused by improper loading of the machine or foam in the water circulation system. Spray pressure monitoring is activated for the "Cleaning" and "Final rinse" wash blocks.

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 power loss. If the emergency release is operated during a program 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 water hardness of 4 gr/gal (4 °dH) must be softened.
Water softener Setting the water hardness level Water hardness can be set between 0 and 70 gr/gal (0 - 70 °dH). Open the menu as follows: button Additional settings Water hardness Water hardness °dH (0 - 70 °dH ) The bottom line of the display shows the possible input range.
Water softener Filling the salt container Use only special, coarse-grained reactivation salt with a granule size of approx. 1/16" - 3/16" (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 35
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 4 lbs. (2 kg) of salt. As the salt reservoir is being filled, displaced water (saline solution) may run out.
Water softener Salt refill reminder If the salt level in the reservoir is low, the following reminder will appear: Refill salt Confirm the message with the OK button. Fill the reservoir as described. When the message first appears, there may be sufficient salt for a further program, depending on the water hardness level set.
Application technology 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.
Application technology Adjusting the height of the upper basket Height-adjustable upper baskets can be adjusted between three positions with 3/4" (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.
