IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

To avoid the risk of damage to the machine and its accessories
caused by process chemicals, soiling, and any reaction between the
two, please read the notes in "Chemical processes and technology".

Even when a process chemical is recommended on technical ap-
plication grounds, it does not imply that the manufacturer of the ma-
chine accepts liability for the effect of the chemical on the items be-
ing cleaned.
Please be aware that changes in formulation, storage conditions etc.
which may not be publicized by the chemical manufacturer, can have
a negative effect on the cleaning result.

When using process chemicals, always consult the instructions is-
sued by individual manufacturers. Process chemicals must only be
used for the purpose they are designed for by the manufacturer to
avoid any material damage or the occurrence of very strong chemical
reactions, such as an oxyhydrogen explosion.

Always follow the manufacturer's instructions on storage and dis-
posal of process chemicals.

In critical applications where very stringent requirements have to
be met, it is strongly recommended that all the relevant factors for the
process, such as process chemicals, water quality, etc., are dis-
cussed with Miele.

If the cleaning result is subject to particularly stringent require-
ments, e.g., in chemical analysis, regular quality control should be
carried out by the operator to ensure that required standards of
cleanliness are being achieved.

The mobile units, baskets, modules and inserts that hold the wash
load must be used only as intended.
Hollow items must be thoroughly cleaned, internally and externally.

Secure small and light items with cover nets or place in a mesh
tray for small items, so that they do not block the spray arms.

Empty any containers or utensils before loading them.

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 70°F (21°C).

Chloride solutions, in particular hydrochloric acid, must not be
placed in the cabinet.

Ensure that solutions or steam containing chlorides or hydrochloric
acid do not come into contact with the stainless steel outer casing of
the machine in order to avoid any damage through corrosion.

After any plumbing work, the water pipework to the machine will
need to be primed. If this is not done, components can be damaged.
